Red Velvet Cupcakes With Tre Stelle Original Cream Cheese Frosting

Instructions

• • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Make the Cupcake Batter: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
  • Slowly combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.
  • Bake the Cupcakes: Divide the cupcake batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: In a bowl, beat the Tre Stelle Original Cream Cheese and unsalted butter together until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until smooth and fluffy.
  • Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes have cooled, spread or pipe the cream cheese frosting on top of each cupcake.
  • Serve: Serve and enjoy your delicious red velvet cupcakes!
