Description

I am here today with a recipe for red velvet cupcakes. I have been baking this type of cake since I was in middle school, but it is only recently that everyone has become obsessed with them! There are so many different types of red velvet cakes out there now, all claiming to be the best. But when you really think about what makes a perfect red velvet cake, its simplicity is what stands out. So in order to make my favorite version of this classic cake, I went back to the original and made some adjustments that will keep your kitchen cool while still delivering an incredible dessert experience!

Ingredients 

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ounces red food coloring
  • Cream Cheese Frosting

Instructions

  • Add the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda to a large mixing bowl.
  • In another bowl, mix the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, white vinegar, and vanilla.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
  • Add a drop of the food coloring, and mix well. Continue to add drops of red food coloring until you get the desired shade.
  • Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners, and then fill about 2/3 the way full. Set the muffin tin into the air fryer basket, and set the temperature to 320 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Let the cupcakes cool down before frosting them.
  • Top with cream cheese frosting, when cooled.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!
