PINK VELVET CUPCAKES
You will need:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup butter, room temperature
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
red food coloring
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp vinegar
Buttercream frosting (recipe below)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pans with paper liners.

2. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt; set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, beat butter for 30 seconds until fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla and beat until combined. Add eggs one at a time and beat on medium speed. Beat in food coloring on low; add your desired amount, less for a more pink look and more for a redder look.

4. Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk to egg mixture, beat until combined.

5. Stir together baking soda and vinegar. Add to batter; beat until combined.
