Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.

2

In a separate bowl, whisk oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix until just combined.

Tip: The vinegar reacts with baking soda to give the cupcakes an extra-tender crumb. Don't leave it out.

3

Fill liners 2/3 full. Bake 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.

4

Beat cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until fluffy and smooth. Pipe or spread frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
