Ina Garten Red Velvet Cupcakes

This delicious and easy Red Velvet Cupcake recipe by Ina Garten is a classic treat that’s perfect for any occasion! With a light, fluffy texture and a hint of cocoa, these cupcakes are topped with a creamy, rich frosting. You can make them with simple pantry ingredients, and they turn out moist and flavorful every time!

Recipe Ingredients:

  • 2½ c all-purpose flour
  • ¼ c unsweetened cocoa powder, such as Pernigotti
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 c buttermilk, shaken
  • 1 tbsp liquid red food coloring
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ lb (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1½ c sugar
  • 2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
  • Red Velvet Frosting

How To Make Red Velvet Cupcakes?

  1. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a small bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large measuring jug, combine the buttermilk, red food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
  4. Cream the butter and sugar: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed for 1 minute until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
  6. Combine wet and dry ingredients: With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry and wet ingredients in three parts, starting and ending with the dry. Mix until just combined, then use a rubber spatula to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
  7. Fill the muffin tins: Use a 5.5cm / 2¼-inch ice cream scoop or a large spoon to evenly distribute the batter into the lined muffin cups.
  8. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  9. Cool and frost: Allow the cupcakes to cool completely in the pan before frosting with your favorite Red Velvet Frosting.

Recipe Tips

  • Use room temperature ingredients : Cold butter, eggs, or buttermilk can prevent the batter from mixing properly. Let them sit out for about 30 minutes before starting.
  • Don’t overmix the batter : Overmixing can make your cupcakes dense and tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Measure the flour correctly : Use the scoop-and-level method instead of packing the flour into the cup. Too much flour can make the cupcakes dry.
  • Check for doneness properly : Insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they’re ready! Overbaking makes them dry.
  • Let them cool completely before frosting : If you frost warm cupcakes, the frosting will melt and slide off. Be patient for the best results!

How To Store Leftovers?

  • Refrigerate: Let the Red Velvet Cupcakes cool completely to room temperature. Then, place them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: Once cooled, wrap each cupcake individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
