Red Velvet Cupcakes 1 This was a wonderful surprise gift from a lovely friend, Nyla aka Kulchibeauty on YouTube (check out her hair and make-up videos - they are amazing!). She got me two great big books for more inspiration! Yay!
So here is one I tried last week. I have made red velvet several times this year and I have used other recipes. I will share those as we proceed in the year and give my verdict on my favourite. This recipe is from Lola's Forever by my Namesake bakery, Lola's cupcakes. They also feature a gluten-free one which I will also try (since I have the rice flour already!). I tweaked the recipe to reduce the sugar content (tweaks in pink). I used my own favourite cream cheese icing recipe (75g unsalted butter, 125g Icing sugar and 250g of medium-fat (Philadelphia light) Cream Cheese. So without much further ado.... Prep time: 20 minutes Baking time: 18-22 minutes Makes 12 - 15 cupcakes Ingredients: 110g unsalted Butter 160g Caster/ granulated Sugar (80g light brown + 70g caster sugar) 1 teaspoon Vanilla bean paste (1 teaspoon vanilla extract) 1/2 teaspoon Red food colouring paste (2 tspns Cochineal red food colour) 1 Egg 3 tablespoons Sunflower oil 3/4 tablespoons White wine vinegar/freshly squeezed lemon juice (red wine vinegar) 35g dark/bittersweet Chocolate, melted 190g Plain/all-purpose Flour 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder 1/2 teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda/ Baking soda 3/4 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder 70mls Single/light Cream ( sour cream) 70mls Full-fat/ Whole milk (Almond milk) 35g Ground Almonds Cream Cheese Icing 60g Butter 1 teaspoon Vanilla bean paste 200g Icing/confectioner's sugar 400g Full-fat Cream Cheese Method: 1) Preheat oven to 180oC/ 160oC Fan/350oF/Gas 4. Line a muffin pan with 12 muffin cases. 2) Mix the butter, sugar and vanilla bean paste in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the food colouring paste and the egg, mixing slowly until combined. 3) Beat in the oil and vinegar followed by the melted chocolate. 4) Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa powder together in a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the batter, a little at a time, alternating with the cream and milk until you have a soft batter. 5) Finally add the ground almonds and mix until a smooth and uniform colour is achieved. Scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula and mix again. Do not over-mix. 6) Using an ice-cream scoop, divide the mixture between the muffin cases, filling them to almost 2/3rd full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until risen and a skewer inserted into the cakes comes out clean. 7) Transfer to a wire rack for cooling. Icing method: 1) Place the butter in a large bowl and beat until soft and smooth (electric whisk, by hand or in a stand mixer). 2) Add the vanilla bean past and sift in the icing sugar. 3) Add the cream cheese and beat (medium to high speed for 30 seconds) until smooth and glossy). Do not over-mix. 4) Spoon the icing into a piping/pastry bag (fitted with a large star nozzle/tip) and pipe a swirl onto each cupcake. Alternatively, spread the cream icing onto each cupcake using a palette knife or metal spatula. 5) Crumble by hand or blitz one un-iced cupcake in a food processor and sprinke the red velvet cake crumbs onto each cupcake to decorate. You can store left-overs in an airtight container but allow it to dry out first. All done! Ps: there are no cupcakes left! Even my younger brother ate two by himself (he's usually a hard sell!).

Whenever I see red velvet cupcakes, it reminds me of my aunt who does not love cupcakes. I do not know but she really hated red velvet cupcakes. It is very different from me. I really like cupcakes most especially when it is red velvet. There is a store near us who started having a business of cake shop. It was really good and I am so lucky to have that store near my house. Thank you so much for sharing this one.

Thank God I trusted Doctor Odunga to bring my ex husband back after 4 years of separation. Before I met Doctor Odunga I searched many websites looking for ways to get my ex husband back after leaving me for another woman. I was devastated but Doctor Odunga gave me hope and assurance that he will be brought back to me. After casting the spell, within 24 hours my husband called to tell me that he is coming back home to me and our two kids. The next day he arrived home and I was very happy to meet him again. I am using this means to appreciate Doctor Odunga for what he did for me and also helping serious minded ones who want to get their loved ones back. Contact Doctor Odunga at [email protected] OR Whats-app him at +2348167159012

I never thought i could smile and be in a happy marriage again if not for the help of DR Moses . I got the doctors Email and i emailed him, he got back to me with some encouraging words, he got me some herbs cream which i use for just 8 days and i began to feel the enlargement of my penis, and without surgery. This went on for a little period of about 10 days and to my surprise my wife keeps screaming that she love my big dick now. Now my wife no longer cheat on me, and my penis is now about 10.5 inches long on erection and off course very large round. And now my wife uses breasts, hips and bums enlargement. I and my wife are very happy for the help rendered to me by DR Moses HERBS, and i want to say a big thanks to Doctor for the help. you can email him on ( [email protected] ) or call/whats-app him directly on +2349060529305
