Last night we hosted our church small group at our apartment. Seeing that our friend Robert's birthday fell on the following day (today!) we thought it was appropriate (and a good excuse) to bake. We decided on red velvet cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting and ended up combining a couple recipes. They turned out great!
We got the recipe for the cupcakes themselves from the website Paula Deen of the Food Network (although I increased the cocoa to 3 heaping teaspoons for more of a predominant chocolate flavor- a good choice I think). We decided on a lighter version of the frosting though and went with the recipe here for the icing.
I learned a new lesson in this process! You can make your own buttermilk with normal milk and vinegar for baking purposes! No more tossing the left over buttermilk (or being forced to make pancakes). It's simple, easy, and it works! Check it out: here!
