CAKE
1 c cake flour
2 Tbsp cocoa, unsweetened
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2/3 c vegetable oil
3/4 c granulated sugar
1 medium egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp red food coloring drops
1/2 c buttermilk
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp white vinegar
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
8 oz cream cheese, softnened
3 Tbsp butter, softened
3 3/4 c confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 tsp vanilla extract, clear

Steps:

  • 1. For the Cupcakes 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 cupcake wells with paper liners or spray pan with spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • 2. 2. Sift together cake flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  • 3. 3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine oil and sugar until well-blended. Add egg and mix until combined.
  • 4. 4. Turn your mixer down to the lowest speed and add vanilla, then slowly add in the food coloring. Note: If you are using liquid food coloring, it will take about 2 tablespoons of coloring to get a dark red shade. I used about 1 tablespoon of gel dye to achieve the shade in the photographs. Add the dye slowly and color according to your preference.
  • 5. 5. Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk in two batches; scrape down the side of the bowl. Continue mixing until just combined, taking care not to over mix.
  • 6. 6. Place baking soda in a small dish, stir in vinegar and add to batter with the machine running. Beat for about 10 seconds.
  • 7. 7. Using a medium scoop (about 3 tablespoons), divide batter between the 12 wells, filling each well about 2/3 full of batter. Bake for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Be careful not to over bake.
  • 8. For the Cream Cheese Frosting 1. In a the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together cream cheese and butter until well combined.
  • 9. 2. With the mixer on low, gradually add the confectioners' sugar until thoroughly incorporated and smooth. Add vanilla and mix to combine.
  • 10. To Assemble in Jars 1. Slice cupcakes horizontally to create layers. Each cupcake will yield 2-3 layers depending on how thick you want your layers to be.
  • 11. 2. Place one cupcake layer into the bottom of your jar, pipe a layer of cream cheese frosting directly onto the cake layer. Repeat the layering process until you reach the top of your jar. If desired, garnish with festive sprinkles or red velvet cake crumbs.

RED VELVET CUPCAKES IN A JAR RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Red Velvet Cupcakes in a Jar Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Mary-6

Number Of Ingredients 19

CUPCAKES:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons cocoa powder
1 1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tablespoons red food coloring
1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
1 pound cream cheese, softened
2 sticks butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups sifted powdered sugar
JARS:
You can use recycled jelly jars or other small canning jars. Something you don't have to buy new is ideal.

Steps:

  • Combine all cupcake ingredients to make batter. Batter is ready to be put in cupcake pan. Spray a standard size cupcake pan with Pam and then fill each hole up 2/3 with the batter. Note: You may or may not use liners when baking, just pull them off before putting them in the jar. Bake for 17 minutes at 350℉ Take them out and put them on a wire rack to cool completely. Once they are cool, slice them in half. You will have a stack of tops and a stack of bottoms. Place 1 bottom in each jar. Put a layer of the frosting on top of the cake inside of the jar (a piping bag is ideal). Take the top of the cupcake and place on top of the layer of frosting. Flatten (gently smash) the top part of the cupcake inside the jar. You want to get the top sort of flat. Beautifully frost the top of the cupcake (again, a piping bag will help with this). Cover with lids and package however you like!

CLASSIC RED VELVET CAKE



Classic Red Velvet Cake image

The "red" makes sense, but what about the "velvet" in Red Velvet Cake's iconic name? Food historians say it was a common description during the Victorian era when the term described cakes that had an especially soft and "velvety" crumb. From the color to the crumb, this homemade Red Velvet Cake is a dessert classic. If you prefer cupcakes over cakes, our Classic Red Velvet Cake recipe works perfectly for that - check out our "Expert Tips" section for guidance.
