Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoon Red food coloring
• ¹⁄₂ cup Buttermilk
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon White vinegar
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 cup Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring.
4. In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk, vinegar, and baking soda. Add the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture to the butter mixture, alternating between the two, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
6. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
7. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the cream cheese frosting. Enjoy!
