Description
Rich and chocolatey without being dense, these red-hued cupcakes feature buttermilk in the batter for tang and tenderness. Meanwhile, vinegar and baking soda kick-start a chemical reaction to give the batter a lift as it bakes. White chocolate buttercream frosting is, quite literally, the icing on the cake. To top things off, candied cherries and colored sprinkles set a festive tone, though really you can decorate the cupcakes however you like.

These red velvet cupcakes were exquisite. I made them for my daughters birthday party and the kids were thrilled to eat them. They were rich in flavor and were not dense at all. They didn't crumble apart the second you unwrapped them and they stayed nice and moist. I will be making them again and would give them 5 stars.
