This is way overdue, but it's time for a new baking post! Three words, RED. VELVET. CUPCAKES. I see these literally everywhere and they look so cute and tasty! So I just had to make them in honor of my sister's return home from Scotland.
This particular recipe is from Odlums for the cupcake and Kraft recipes for the icing. The ingredients are:
175g Self Raising Flour
125g Caster Sugar
150g Butter/Margarine
2 Large Eggs
2 Tablespoons Drinking Chocolate
4 Tablespoons Water
2 Teaspoons Red Food Colouring
1 pkg. Philadephia Cream Cheese, softened
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 cups Icing Sugar, sifted

Cupcake
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
Beat butter or margarine and sugar in a bowl until light in colour.
Add the flour, eggs, drinking chocolate, water and red colouring.
Beat well until mixture resembles a thick batter.
Divide the mixture into the muffin pan and bake for 20 minutes until risen and ‘springs back’ when gently touched.
Cool on a wire tray and then decorate with icing!
