Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1 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
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for meringue)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the 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 the cupcake liners about 2/3 full with the batter.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cupcakes cool, prepare the meringue icing by beating the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  8. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  9. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, pipe the meringue icing on top.
  10. Optional: Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the meringue for added flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the meringue icing.
