Red Velvet Cupcakes

February 6, 2013 por Carolina 1 Comment

Over the years these cupcakes have gained quite some popularity, and there are several versions of this recipe. However, after reading several of these recipes, I made my own version, but without changing the essence of the recipe itself. The result: an almost addictive cupcake!
The key to achieve that characteristic reddish color is to use gel-based colors.
I consider that these delicious cupcakes are perfect for celebrating Valentine’s.
