Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Red Velvet Cupcakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab two 12-cup muffin pans and give them a little love by greasing them or lining them with cheerful paper baking cups.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the sugar and butter until the mixture is light and fluffy, like a cloud on a sunny day.

4. Step 4

   Next, add in the eggs, buttermilk, vibrant red food coloring, and a splash of vanilla extract.

5. Step 5

   Mix everything together until it’s beautifully combined, creating a delightful base for your cupcakes.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to add a little science to the mix! Stir in the baking soda and vinegar, making sure everything is well incorporated for that perfect rise.

7. Step 7

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.

8. Step 8

   Gradually fold this dry mixture into your wet ingredients, stirring gently until just blended—no need to overdo it! Now, it’s time for the fun part: spoon the luscious batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each one about two-thirds full to allow for some delightful rising.

   Pop those pans into your preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
