Here they are…my homemade red velvet cupcakes! I am not sure why this is such a popular flavor. I mean, they are good, but all they are are chocolate cupcakes whose batter is drenched in red food coloring (also, with a simple addition of some sour cream). But, contrary to what you might normally see at more-commercial shops, however, red velvet cakes are not really bright red in color, at least not the ones I made. I dont know what the whole color discrepancy is about, but I can tell you that even though I [intentionally] exceeded the suggested amount of red food color, they still came out very dark red. Maybe the color serves as an indication as to how they were prepared, either commercially or homemade??
Anyway, the cream cheese-based frosting definitely put it over the top, and added an extra layer of flavor to them. All in all, they came out really good!
Attached to this blog is a link to the recipe that I used to make these.
