Yields-10 small Cupcakes

Ingredients-My Red Velvet Cupcake Measurement.

All Purpose Flour-70g
Baking Powder -1/8tsp or a dash
Salt- a pinch
Unsweetend Cocoa powder - 1/2 Tbsp or 5g
Refined oil- 2 Tbsp or 1/8 Cup

Buttermilk - 60g(From 50 g buttermilk with 10g water beaten well)
Red Food Color- 1/2 Tbsp
Vinegar -1/4 tsp
Baking Soda - 1/4 tsp

I have replaced butter with refined oil you can add butter if you wish.

Method

Sift the all purpose flour along with salt,cocoa powder and baking powder and keep aside.Meanwhile grease the cupcake liners. Preheat oven to 200 c.

Add red food color to the buttermilk and mix well.

In a separate bowl keep the sifted flour aside.In another bowl beat butter and sugar together,in my recipe i have used refined oil instead of butter,then add vanilla essence and give a mix.To that bowl add the egg and beat them well to a smooth texture.Pour the beaten oil/butter sugar mix to the sifted flour and mix well in one direction.Add the buttermilk mixture to the bowl as seen in the second pic below.Mix well and check the consistency of the batter.

In a small bowl add baking soda and vinegar and give a mix.Immediately pour them to the prepared batter and mix well.Immediately pour the batter to the greased cupcake liners.

Place the cupcake's into the oven and bake for 12-15min under 200c.

Check whether the cupcakes are ready by inserting a skewer/wooden tooth pick to the baked cupcake ,it should come out clean.Else bake for 2-3 min more.
