Instructions

1. The first thing you have to do is line cupcake tin with paper case and preheat the oven to 180 C for 10 minutes.
2. Sift all purpose flour, salt, cocoa powder and baking powder together through a sieve to remove lumps or dirt if any. It also helps in incorporating more air to the flour which helps to produce lighter cakes. Keep it aside
3. In another mixing bowl place butter and blend them until smooth and fluffy.
4. Slowly add in sugar and keep beating. It should look like crumble.
5. Now add egg and continue beating. Initially it looks thin and yellow but 2-3 minutes later it will be thick and pale.
6. Also add vanilla extract and give a final beating.
7. In a measuring container add red food color to the buttermilk or if sour cream is around you can use it too. Whisk it.
8. Now in the egg butter mixture add half of the flour and red buttermilk mixture. Beat them until well combined.
9. Then another half and keep beating for next few seconds.
10. Take a small bowl add baking soda to the vinegar and allow them to fizz.
11. Quickly fold t it in your batter. Because baking soda just starts to react as soon as it goes in the cake batter.
12. And in a same working speed pour the batter until they are half filled.
13. Place the cupcake tin in the oven for 12-14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cupcakes comes out clean.
14. Meanwhile let's make cream cheese frosting.
15. Beat cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla extract together until they are well combined and achieve thick consistency.
16. Scoop the frosting in your piping bag. Squeeze it down to remove air pockets and make sure the cream comes all together. Secure with rubber band.
17. Keep in the refrigerator until the cupcakes are ready for the frosting.
18. Before frosting make sure that the little cakes are cooked completely. because if you frost over a hot cake the frosting will melt and runny.
19. Now frost your luscious cupcakes.
20. Serve chilled..
