What can I do, they are too cute..and I can't resist but to take them home.. Christmas colour that I love best is white..white of snow, snowflake, and almost every white things on Christmas (especially those white that blink!)..Not to mention white beard on Santa ..he he..

Speaking of which we are now on Christmas month, last post I did an individual Christmas tree for everyone..and I mentioned that I used red velvet cupcake on that..so this post why not reveal how I did a red velvet cupcake..

Red Velvet Cupcake Adapted from Allysa Torey, Magnolia
(12 cups regular cupcakes)

167 g cake flour
86 g unsalted butter
225 g sugar
2 medium size eggs
3 tbsp red food-colouring
1 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup fresh milk
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
3/4 tsp apple cider vinegar
3/4 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 180C. Prepare 12 cupcake pans.

Pour lime juice into milk and rest it for 10 minutes.

Sift cake flour into a bowl, set aside. Cream butter and sugar on medium speed till fluffy and light in colour for about 5 minutes. Add egg one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a small bowl, whisk together the red food colouring with cocoa and vanilla then add to batter and beat well.

Stir salt into the milk. Then add into batter. Mix well then add flour in batter. Combine all well. Do not over beat.

In another small bowl, stir together the apple cidar vinegar and baking soda. Add into batter and mix well. Using a spatula, scrap down the batter in the bowl, making sure all are well combined and smooth. Divide batter into cupcake pans. Bake for 30 minutes or untill a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for sometimes then convert out on a rack. Let cupcakes completely cool before decorating.

In picture I decorated by put two cupcakes together and spread frosting on the cupcake on the top. I use creamy vanilla milk frosting.

Have a good baking day.

Cheers!
