Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, mixing until well combined.
-
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the cream cheese frosting. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
-
Allow the frosting to set for about 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
