Red Velvet Cupcake Recipe

Do have an idea on how red velvet cupcake got its color? Donโ€™t try to peek on the recipe yet, try to think if you can figure it out. Well, red velvet cupcakes are actually chocolate cupcakes with red food coloring. This explains why it has that chocolate taste all along.

This cupcake recipe uses the same cream cheese frosting that we had for a previous chocolate cupcake recipe. The link for the recipe is provided below.
