Directions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fill Cupcake Liners
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Cool
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and Judee's Keto Cream Cheese Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
Frost the Cupcakes
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the cream cheese frosting using a piping bag or a spatula.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve these delicious red velvet cupcakes at room temperature. Enjoy the rich, moist texture and the tangy sweetness of the cream cheese frosting.
