Cupcakes seem to be one of American’s favorite snacks. Below is my recipe for making some delicious and flavorful red velvet cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting. The cupcakes are made with cocoa, butter, sugar, vanilla, red wine vinegar, red food coloring and buttermilk These cupcake are not only a treat for your taste buds but are also visually stimulating by the contrast in colors of the red velvet cake with the white cream cheese frosting. I also garnish them with some fresh raspberries

3 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
3 tablespoon of cocoa (Dutch cocoa is best)
1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
2 cups of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons of red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon of red food coloring
1 cup of buttermilk
1 cup of butter
2 (8 oz.) packages of cream cheese
4 cups of confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
24 fresh raspberries, for garnish

You will want to begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. You will also want to line 2 (12 cup) cupcake pans with cupcake papers. Take a mixing bowl and then sift in the flour, baking soda, salt...
