My mom makes me a devil's food cake for my birthday every year...with vanilla icing. It's my favorite! So I thought I'd try a red velvet cupcake to see if it's similar. This receipe is so cool. The batter was bright red. I've never seen that before. I was like OMG! what is this going to look like? It was awesome looking! Then it darkens up but still has a reddish tinge...pretty cool! If you make these, you don't need cupcake liners. Just be sure to spray the pan so they are easy to get out. I used that Pam spray for baking and they literally fell out of the pan.
The frosting is creamy with a hint of vanilla and was very easy to work with on the cupcakes.

Nice. My husband made me red velvet for my birthday cupcakes. Our recipe is a little more chocolate though. http://coconutlime.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at the Sept. issue of InStyle magazine. They say cupcakes are "what's hot now." (WHATever. I think they're always "hot.") It's a 2-page spread featuring 7 cupcakes from bakeries in NYC and LA, along with the celebrities who love them. One of them is a red velvet w/cream cheese frosting (that's the one Courteney Cox is said to prefer, I guess). This one sounds good to me--vanilla-apple cake topped with vanilla buttercream frosting with caramel.
ReplyDeleteI meant to add, the cupcakes are on pages 376 & 377
ReplyDeletethat is so cool...thanks for letting me know about this article...I'll go out and get a copy!
ReplyDeleteHi, Cupcake Queen! I've got another cupcake sighting to tell you about. Today, on the Food Network, the show Top 5 ("Whistlestop Eats" episode) featured Lulu's Patisserie in Scarsdale, NY. Their cupcakes are classically and beautifully decorated. The kicker is they're 1/2 pound each! A must-visit bakery the next time you're in, uh, Scarsdale. www.sweetsbylulu.com
