Red Velvet Cupcakes

What's so special about Red Velvet Cupcakes, anyway? It's the crumb. True to its name, it's "velvety" and soft, with a hint of vanilla and chocolate flavour, not to mention the striking vibrant red colour! Frosted with fluffy cream cheese frosting, this is a cupcake that likes to steal the lime light. And we happily let it!

I am using a convection oven, what temp should I use, the 180degC or 160degC?

Hi, just wondering what is the name of cake flour in Woolworths?
Couldn’t find “ cake flour” as such
Thanks

[AndreasChristodoulou]

Can you please add the dosage inside the videos?

[lineosello]

Love your cooking, but could you please write the measurements of everything you use please 🙏

I'm assuming both those dislikes are from people who are adamant that their red velvet contains beetroot :P I for one have never had red velvet containing beetroot, so I cannot comment on which one is superior, but I would like to try the 2 side by side with both made by the same person.
