Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

So today, one of my friends asked me to bake for her because she had a special occasion. I decided to make her red velvet cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies. On this post, I will share the recipe for the red velvet cupcakes and my next post will be the chocolate chip cookies. I hope you guys enjoy!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add all of the wet ingredients, then mix with a hand mixer.


Add all of the dry ingredients





Line the muffin pan with cupcake liners. 




I used a mini ice cream scooper and poured in each cupcake liner twice.


I baked the cupcakes for 20 minutes. Remove the cupcakes and let them cool down. 


 As I wait for the cupcakes to cool down, I made the frosting. For the frosting, combine all of the ingredients and mix with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes. Be careful, I had powder sugar flying everywhere.



Once it is all combined, I moved the frosting into a big ziploc bag and cut a piece off from the corner. I cut mine a little too big, hence my frosting design wasn't so good.


 You can frost your cupcake whatever way you want to. Enjoy!
