Red Velvet Cupcake recipe

[Palak Dalvi]

I just tasted the red velvet cupcake and fell in love with it. What is in it that makes it different from the chocolate except for the colour? Can someone give me a recipe to make eggless red velvet cupcakes at home? Thanks.

500 ml (2 c) icing sugar
5 ml (1 t) vanilla essence
2 ml (half t) red food colouring

1 Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Line 16 muffin tin hollows with paper cases and grease lightly with nonstick spray.
2 Mix milk and vinegar and set aside for 5 minutes to curdle.
3 Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
4 Add the oil, food colouring and essence to the curdled milk and whisk well. Slowly add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until well incorporated but not overmixed.
5 Fill each muffin tin hollow just more than halfway. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a rack.
6 Icing: Whisk together the butter and cream cheese and gradually add the icing sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in the vanilla essence and divide the mixture between two bowls. Add the food colouring to one bowl and chill both in the fridge for 10 minutes.
7 Put the white icing in a piping bag then add the coloured icing. Pipe over the cooled cupcakes and serve.

Hi, Thanks so much.. But this looks like an international recipe.. Apple Cider Vinegar and all is not easily available in India unless you buy from imported grocery stores. I dont want to spend so much money on it.. Can you or anyone else pleaseee suggest some other simpler red velvet cupcake recipe please...

Thanks!
