(Red) Velvet Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
I remember people loved red velvet cupcakes. But it's just cupcakes made from oil and vinegar with a little bit of cocoa and a LOT of red color. I wondered if people would still love them without the red effect. So I made these -- the (red) velvet cupcakes from exactly the same recipe.
Brownish perfectly domed cupcakes
And then I frosted them with Godiva Chocolate Liqueur Buttercream.
The result: I guess how the cupcakes look affects how they taste as well. For some reason, I remember the red velvet cupcakes more velvety than these brownish ones. Maybe it's the frosting. I was a little heavy handed with the alcohol. But isn't that a good thing? More alcohol? Maybe the cupcakes are just better with cream cheese frosting.

Wow! Thank you so much for writing. This is probably the best Christmas present! It really means a lot and very encouraging.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Have a great holiday season and happy new year. :)
I love red velvet cupcakes because one time there was a bake sale and there were these delicious red velvet cupcakes. I found out that my older friend had made them, and they taste awesome. Btw, it's cool you're from Thailand. I have a project due on that country in Feb.
February is a good time to be in Thailand. The weather is not extremely hot and humid yet. It's the month when all kinds of flowers are blooming in the north. Hope you have fun there!
these look so so good!
blahh
