They look delicious. I can’t wait to bake these soon. I recently read this story and the author was rambling on and on about these cakes called “Red Velvet Cakes” and I thought.. what are these so called “Red Velvet cakes”? I googled it and it led me to you.
Must be a sign for the heavens.
These little things are so adorable. I love the redness, although I’m not sure if I want to put so much food colouring. Does it matter how much I add– so long as i put atleast 3 tbsp?

Hi Kelly, you should be able to buy it from your local supermarket.

Hi, I’m planning on making these for Valentine’s Day on Sunday and am wondering where to go to get the cider vinegar? I’m not familiar with it. Thanks.

Thanks! I just remembered to make that change.

Little Cupcakes has got to be one of my favourite cupcake places – pity it’s not closer! Here’s a link to our review: http://tastedbytwo.com/2009/09/21/little-cupcakes-melbourne/

They’re in the oven baking – smells delish!

One little thing about the recipe though – in the ingredients, you have milk but in the instructions it’s buttermilk.

Thank you! And if you’re ever in Melbourne, Australia, you have to try out Little Cupcakes in Degraves St (littlecupcakes.com.au).

You get nearly the same amount of frosting to cake… now that’s my idea of a balanced diet!

Are these chocolatey? I had RV cupcakes in a cake bar once and they were red and really chocolatey…. and I’d never been able to have that ever again Is it ok to up the cocoa quotient in this, or it’s good enough?

Hi Elpy, the cupcakes shouldn’t taste sour at all. The frosting may be a little tangy (it is sour cream after all!) but it shouldn’t be overpowering. Good luck!

Hi Ms Taste,

I wanted to know does it actually taste sour? I’ve been watching a lot of youtube instructional videos and looked up recipes, they all require vinegar and buttermilk (which is a bit tangy). I would just presume that it would taste a bit tangy as an outcome. Could you please let me know what it taste like? I’m planning to make a bunch for V-day.

Mmm delicious. I didn’t use as much colouring as it said but the colour was still really deep and red! Everyone who tried them loved them including me. Great recipe =]

These were divine! Even without the frosting, I ate three already! So moist and full of flavor.

By the way, I followed your instructions to the letter and had cupcakes that overflowed off the top of the cupcake liner. Yours is just even on top, mine sort of had excess cake (but flattened, not pouffy like a muffin). Any idea why?

Again, yummy!!! (still wiping crumbs from my lips!)
