Cupcakes Red Velvet

Bright on the outside, soft on the inside, with delicious buttercream! All of us have at least once met an amazingly beautiful cake called "Red Velvet". It got its name because of the bright red porous crumb, which is very tender and pleasant to the taste. We will get this color using food coloring. I propose to cook a mini version of this famous cake in the form of cupcakes. And we will decorate them with a high cap of cheese cream.

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
Prepare the products. For this recipe, I advise you to strictly measure the products on the scales. Even eggs. To do this, I broke two eggs into a cup, loosened them well and then measured them out. Take low-fat kefir.
Step 2:
First, in a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients - flour, sugar, cocoa and baking powder.
Step 3:
In another bowl, combine all the liquid: eggs, butter and kefir. We also put a teaspoon of food coloring in there.
Step 4:
Mix all the ingredients well with a mixer. It turns out that such a bright mass.
Step 5:
Now we need to combine dry with liquid: pour flour into our red mass. Stir with a spoon. A mixer is absolutely not needed here. We should just wet all the flour, no more. There should be no dry lumps left. The dough may seem a little loose and heterogeneous - as it should be, this method will give an unprecedented softness to the crumb, believe me!
Step 6:
In the cupcake mold (I have silicone, but it can be just iron) we lay out special paper inserts for cupcakes. Fill them with dough, about 2/3 of the volume. From this amount of dough, I got 10 pieces. Bake in the oven at 175 degrees. We do not open the first 12 minutes, then check every 2 minutes. They should become elastic to the touch, and the toothpick, inserted and removed, will be dry. Mine were baked for about 20 minutes.
Step 7:
While cupcakes are being baked, we prepare the cream. We will prepare the products for him. The oil must be removed from the refrigerator in advance so that it has time to soften.
Step 8:
Beat butter with powdered sugar and vanilla sugar.
Step 9:
Add cottage cheese and whisk until smooth fluffy cream.
Step 10:
Take the finished cupcakes out of the mold and let them cool well on the grill. We put the cream in a pastry bag and decorate the top with a nozzle "open star".

As you have already noticed, the cooking technology is somewhat different from the usual one. We do not beat eggs with sugar, but divide the ingredients into dry and liquid, and only then mix them. This method will make the pastries more tender and loose, and a paper mold will help them keep their shape.
The dye can be bought at any pastry shop.
