Wrap them well to keep the freezer smell out. Thaw in the fridge overnight or on the counter for a couple of hours. Unfrosted cupcakes will keep for days in an airtight container at room temperature.
Red velvet is made with cocoa powder, vinegar and buttermilk. The chemical reaction between these ingredients help give the cake a deep maroon color that is often enhanced by extra food coloring. I recommend gel food coloring because the color is concentrated, so you need less of it.
For natural coloring, use beet powder. The reaction of acidic vinegar and buttermilk tends to better reveal the red anthocyanin in cocoa and keeps the cake moist, light, and fluffy. Cupcake Baking Temperature: Bake cupcakes at degrees F. Be sure to read the recipe for exact instructions as the batter density may vary. Bake at degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Check for doneness at 30 min. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale.
Beat in the eggs a little at a time and stir in the vanilla extract. Wrap the cupcakes in plastic wrap or Press-N-Seal, put them in a sealed plastic bag, and place them in the freezer. If you want to freeze cupcakes with frosting, first make sure they are cooled completely. Place your cupcakes on a tray or pan and place them in the freezer for about hours.
This allows the icing to set completely. Remove them from the freezer, wrap cupcakes a few at a time, or individually in plastic wrap or Press-N-Seal. Put the wrapped cupcakes in a sealed container and freeze. Defrost your cupcakes at room temperature for about an hour leaving them wrapped. There are several reasons cakes and cupcakes sink after baking. If the pan is filled with too much batter this will happen.
If your oven is too hot, cakes and cupcakes cook faster on the outside than in the middle. The structure then sinks. An oven thermometer paid Amazon link will help you regulate the temperature and prevent this. When the liquid to flour ratio of your recipe is off cupcakes will sink. There is too much liquid and not enough dry ingredients to absorb all that liquid. If you prefer to use a gluten-free red velvet cupcake mix, they are available online at Walmart and Amazon.

Bake at degrees for minutes. Cool cupcakes on a cooling rack for minutes or until completely cooled. Frost and decorate as desired. These cupcakes are gluten and dairy-free, but they are so delicious you will never know the difference. Looking forward to making these! I have a question. Can you answer plase? Thank you.. I would not use sunflower oil. It gives baked goods a very distinct flavor.. I noticed that they rise beautifully while baking but then they deflate why is that happening?
Hi, just made these and they look and taste great. Thank you. Hi Korntee. Did you follow the recipe exactly as written? Loved the cupcakes and the frosting. My only complaint? It lends to a perfectly white buttercream or cream cheese icing without sacrificing that delish buttery flavor! Yes, that is the correct amount of flour. The cornstarch and cocoa powder also add structure to the cupcakes. The red coloring should be liquid,paste,gel…..? Thanks so much.
I love all your posts!!! Hi Carmalita. I have not tried this as a cake… yet! Put a Tablespoon of white vinagear in the measure cup and then add regular milk to the required measurement. I use that substitution quite frequently when making my scratch German Chocolate Cake. All these substitutions work wonderfully and saves driving the 10 miles one way to the grocery store for buttermilk:. Hi Eva. I believe an equal amount of melted coconut oil or vegetable oil would work.
I have little experience baking with sunflower oil and corn oil, so I cannot say for those. I made these along with 4 other red velvet cake recipes to test against each other and these were my favorite!!! They have such a unique flavor. I thought the 2. Question: How do you measure your flour? Do you weigh it and if so, how many grams or ounces? Hi Vanessa! I hope that helps!
But it tastes heaven. Have you made these cupcakes into mini ones? If so how do you alter the baking time and temperature? I just made these and the taste was amazing but every one of mine sank :. Hi Dana. The main reasons cupcakes deflate are: 1 Over-beating the batter.
Over-beating allows too much air into the batter. The air collapses when the cupcakes bake, along with the cupcakes or incorrect oven temperature.
I hope these tips help! Mine also completely deflated when I took them out of the oven. They are all sunken. Why would that happen? Hi Erin. Thank you! It takes less gel than liquid!
I made these last night and not only was the recipe so easy, but they taste amazing. I absolutely love the consistency of the cupcake, and it has the perfect flavor. My hubby could not stop eating these tasty treats. I just made these! I felt that they could do without a tiny bit more chocolate. Otherwise they were very easy to make and perfect. Thank you for the receipe.
I made these with my 10 year old niece today. They are quite moist, and she loved them, but I found them to be rather bland. Maybe some ground espresso would improve the flavor? The frosting turned out perfect…. We have lots left over too!
Hi Christina. Red velvet cupcakes are sweet and moist, with a subtle a cocoa flavor. Hi Anu. In this recipe the cornstarch makes the cupcakes moist and fluffy. I noticed this too! I love these cupcakes and have made them many times, however I now need a blue velvet cupcake for a special event. Can I substitute blue coloring for red coloring in this recipe? Hi Kelly! I Made these cupcakes and they are delicious! Super moist and fluflly!
Have you or anyone tried to make these as a cake? If so, how did it turn out? Can I substitute plain white vinegar instead of apple cider? That could be the reason? That definitely could be the reason! Especially the baking powder.
Other reasons cupcakes sink is over mixing the batter, opening the oven while they bake, and not adding enough flour.
The key is follow the recipe to the letter.. Thank you, you are wonderful! Hi Eva, I tried to make your recipe, I live in Canada, could you please not say 1 stick of butter? Made these today and they turned out wonderful! So moist and delicious Thanks for the great recipe! My cupcakes went splat! What did I do wrong so I can fix for next time? Same here. I was careful not to overmix, and my baking powder was brand new. I wonder if altitude can affect it….
I made these in my bonCOOK muffin tray and they turned out perfect! Hi Paulina. The recipe is perfect! The cake is so soft and moist, frosting is so creamy and light, everyone who had it just love it so much!
I also used 1 pack of vanilla sugar instead of extract, white vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar.
