Red Velvet

Red Velvet

Red Velvet Cupcakes (adapted from Cake Mix Doctor)

1 Duncan Hines red velvet cake mix
1 Instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup water
3 eggs

Mix all ingredients together on low for 30 seconds, scrape bowl. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Put 1/4 c (or I use 2 full scoops with my cookie scooper) of batter in muffin tin with wrappers. Bake at 350 for 18-20 min. (I liked using my convection oven for these). Cool.

Cream Cheese Frosting:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 stick (1/2 c) butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Beat butter and cream cheese with electric mixer, then add in vanilla, then powdered sugar in 1 cup increments. Frost cupcakes. We topped these with chocolate hearts we piped onto wax paper, let harden, then painted with edible glitter.
