- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs

- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 package Cream cheese
- 2 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the red food coloring and vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk, vinegar, and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
- 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 the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Once the cupcakes have cooled, frost them with the cream cheese frosting. Enjoy!
