Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
  8. For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla until creamy.
  9. Frost the cooled cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting.

Notes

  • Ensure the cupcakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • For a richer flavor, let the frosted cupcakes sit for a few hours before serving.
