Red velvet cupcakes

These little darling cupcakes have made their way into my top 5 treats since I first gave them a try a year ago. I have used the hummingbird bakery's recipe, (Found here) and have stuck to it as they are delicious. My dad always says "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"... Hence I haven't really touched the recipe! I use about 50g less icing sugar for the icing, and whole milk with a tsp of cider vinegar as a buttermilk substitute (mix briefly and leave for 15 mins before using).

I've made them so many times this past year and they are such a perfect treat for afternoon tea (or naughty breakfast in my case). My little puppy is a huge fan of the icing, I caught her licking at one! They're also now my boyfriend's favourite of my culinary repertoire, and I'm happy to have such willing tasters to lick the bowl! (For those of you thinking I let my dog lick the bowl and are verging on getting the RSPCA, I'm joking!! DON'T FEED THIS TO YOUR DOG!)

Happy baking all :)
