Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white vinegar

For the cream cheese frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full with the batter.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating together cream cheese and butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  9. Once the cupcakes are cool, frost them with the cream cheese frosting using a spatula or piping bag.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep cupcakes light and fluffy.
  • Check your oven temperature for accurate baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
