How to make Red Velvet Cupcakes
Flowers, gifts, love letters – for many couples, this is part of 14 February. But where does Valentine’s Day come from? Is it really a romantic day or just business? The latter is at least what a popular rumour says, that florists brought the day into being. The origin of Valentine’s Day is complicated. It is true that Saint Valentine is invoked, but it will probably never be possible to find out exactly which historical figure is behind it.
Hardly any other cake fits this day as well as the Red Velvet Cake. With its bright red colour, it is always a real eye-catcher and really delicious. I made it for the first time and it was so delicious that I will be making it more often! The cake turned out so soft and fluffy, plus the fresh cream cheese frosting. A love poem 😉
First
Mix sugar and butter until creamy, then add all dry ingredients and mix briefly.
Second
In a separate bowl, mix all the wet ingredients, add the egg here too. After all the ingredients have been mixed together and a nice red batter has formed, fill it into muffin tins 2/3 full. place in the oven for 25 minutes at 160 degrees Celsius.
Third
for the frosting, mix the cream cheese, butter and icing sugar, it should be lump-free and very creamy. Pour the mixture into a piping bag and then pipe onto the cooled muffins.
Place in the fridge again before serving.
