· 120 ml Buttermilk

· 1 tsp Baking Powder

1. Preheat the oven to 160 C / 320 F.

2. Line your muffin pan with cupcake wrappers

3. Swift together - flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda & salt.

4. Combine the red food color and vinegar with the buttermilk and stir well.

5. Whisk together oil and sugar until light and fluffy.

6. Add eggs one at a time.

7. Followed by the buttermilk mix.

9. Once all the ingredients are in. Scrape the sides of the bowl and stir again making sure you have a deep red colored batter.

10. Divide batter into the cupcake wrappers about 3/4 full.

11. Bake in a preheated oven for about 18 to 20 mins.

12. Cool completely before you decorate

1. Prepare your frosting of choice from the recipes above.

2. Prepare a piping bag with a large round tip ( I used no 12)

3. Add any gel food color if you want to your frosting.

4. Then add frosting into a piping bag with a spatula.

5. Close the bag and pipe frosting.

6. The design I have is just a simple squeeze until the blob reaches the edges of the cupcake.

7. Then squeeze again to make a couple of such blobs each time picking the bag slightly higher until you reach a tip.
