The Full Recipe Video link is in my Bio @theartisticcook under CUPCAKES🧁
INGREDIENTS
1 Cup | 125g All Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup | 50g Cocoa powder (Dutched/Dark)
1/2 Teaspoon Baking powder
1/2 Teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup | 200g granulated sugar
1 Large Egg, room temperature (mine was 64g with Shell)
1/4 Cup | 48g Vegetable Oil
1/4 Cup | 56g Unsalted Butter, melted
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
1/2 Cup | 120g Milk, room temperature
1 plus 1/2 Teaspoon White vinegar
1/4 Cup Hot Boiling water mixed with 1 Tsp Instant Coffee
Chocolate Chips, semi sweet for topping (to be added halfway through the baking)
METHOD
🧁 Measure the Flour, Cocoa, Sugar, Oil and Butter using a Kitchen Weighing Scale for a successful result. Use a Large Egg instead of a Small one. Larger Eggs yield softer moister texture and better rise.
🧁 Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, soda and salt. Add Sugar and mix well.
🧁 Add one large egg, oil, melted & cooled butter, vanilla essence and milk to the dry ingredients. Whisk it together.
🧁 Add Vinegar and Hot Water mixed with instant Coffee. Mix well. Batter will be thin.
🧁 Pour into cupcake liners till 3/4 for a nice dome on top. Bake @180C in a preheated oven for 23-25 mins or till a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. I placed few chocolate chips on top halfway through the baking to avoid sinking.
🧁 Let the cupcakes cool down in the tray for 5-10 mins. Tastes incredible next day. Makes 12 Standard Sized Cupcakes.

6 Tablespoons | 42g Cornstarch
2 Tbsp | 14g cocoa powder
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup | 115g unsalted Butter, room temp
2 Cups | 400g fine granulated Sugar
4 large Eggs, room temperature
1 Cup | 240ml Vegetable Oil
1 Tbsp Vanilla Essence
Gel Red food coloring
1 Cup (240ml) buttermilk, at room temp
1 Teaspoon Plain White Vinegar
To Make Buttermilk
1/2 Cup Yogurt
1/2 Cup Water
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 Cup | 225g unsalted Butter, room temp
2 Cups | 260g Icing Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla essence
452g Cream cheese
METHOD
1. It is recommended to weigh all the ingredients for best results always. Sift and Whisk the Flour, Cocoa, Baking soda and Salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
2. Beat the butter until smooth for a few seconds. Add the sugar and beat together for a minute.
3. Add the Eggs one at a time, mixing each egg well until well incorporated. Add Oil and Mix. Add Vanilla Essence and food color.
4. Add the dry ingredients in three batches alternating with the buttermilk. Do not overmix the batter. Mix at low speed only till the flour is just incorporated. Overmixing results in a dense cake. You can also fold gently using a spatula instead of using a mixer.
5. Add the plain vinegar at the end and Mix. Red velvet batter is ready.
6. Pour the batter into an 8 inch tin, Bake at 180°c for 70-75 mins or till toothpick inserted in the middle comes clean.
7. I baked few cupcakes from same batter. Bake the Cupcakes at 180°c for 22-25mins.
8. For Frosting, beat the Butter till smooth. Add sifted icing sugar in small batches mixing well. Add the vanilla essence. Add cold Cream Cheese and fold gently or mix at low speed till just incorporated. Over mixing might curdle it.
