Red Velvet Cupcakes

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 180 ml sugar
• red food coloring (2–3 drops)
• vanilla extract (For the wet mixture; additional vanilla is also mentioned for the frosting)
• 225 g all-purpose flour
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• 15 g cocoa powder
• vegetable oil (The source says “smi veggie oil”; quantity is not visible)
• melted butter (Quantity is not visible)
• 60 ml hot water
• butter (For the frosting; source gives an unclear ratio: “1:70.8”)
• cream cheese (For the frosting; source gives an unclear ratio: “1:70.8”)
• powdered sugar (For the frosting; source gives an unclear ratio: “1:70.8”)
• vanilla extract (For the frosting)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare parchment paper for the cupcake cups, since cupcake paper liners are not available.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, red food coloring, and vanilla for the wet mixture. Mix well.

3. 3

   Add the flour, baking soda, and cocoa powder to the wet mixture.

4. 4

   Add some vegetable oil and melted butter. The source does not provide quantities for either ingredient.

5. 5

   Add 60 ml hot water and mix well before baking.

6. 6

   Preheat the oven at 200°C. The source does not state how long to preheat.

7. 7

   Bake the cupcakes at 160°C for 20 minutes.

8. 8

   For the frosting, use butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. The source shows the ratio as “1:70.8,” which is unclear and cannot be reliably interpreted from the available text.

9. 9

   Add some vanilla extract to the frosting.

10. 10

    Whisk the butter and cream cheese first.

11. 11

    Add the powdered sugar bit by bit while continuing to mix.

12. 12

    Decorate the cooled cupcakes with the frosting.

Notes

The source has gaps and OCR ambiguities: the amounts of vegetable oil and melted butter are not visible, the frosting ratio appears as “1:70.8,” and the preheating duration is incomplete. The source states 200°C for preheating and 160°C for baking, with a 20-minute bake time.
