After the two chocolate cupcakes in a row, here is a different one which is a favourite for most of the people I know. Red velvet is is my favourite too. Even though some are not very keen on the food colour used, I don’t mind tasting this once in a while. But still I need to try a recipe using beetroot for those who wants the all natural cupcake. These red velvet cupcakes are made with oil and so these can be decorated with cream frosting and can be refrigerated without loosing the moistness. And like most of the eggless cakes, this is a one bowl recipe. Mix everything in a bowl and bake.
I used my cream cheese butter cream to frost the cupcake and as you can see, it holds the piping very well. I was so happy with the combination. They tasted so yum together. I have given the link to the frosting at the end of this post. And don’t forget to take a look at the video also. These cupcakes are best for celebrations as they look so grand and out of the world. I hope you try it. These turn out very soft and spongy. Sending this to Kid’s Delight – Cakes and Cookies hosted by Vidya and started by Srivalli.

Eggless red velvet cake looks delightful and have come to perfect.
These red velvet cupcakes are one of my latest favorite. Love that cream cheese frosting too 🙂
Such cute cupcakes Gayathri, I am sure that colour would have made your daughter so happy!
That looks stunning gayathri!!!
They look perfect will definetly try in my next baking session.
Hi Gayatri, could u pls tell us the gram measurements for all the ingredients . Whenever I make anything using cup measurements I always land up messing my baked stuff.
Would love ur support.
Thanking you
Please check my measurements page. I have given the equivalent for cup measures in gm.
Hi
The cupcakes tasted yummy and rose very well but became flat after some time
What could be the reason? I didnt open the oven before 30 min, i baked half portion 6-7 cupcakes, used all products at room temperature
Did they become flat as soon as they came out of oven? If so, then you might need to reduce baking soda a little bit..
Hi Gayathri,
What could I use instead of white vinegar. I don’t have it with me at the moment.. thanks in advance.
Would love your support.
Thanking you
You can use lemon juice. We need something acidic to react with baking soda.
Hi Gayathri,
Tried ur recipe as is but I feel m not getting the right crumbs.. My cupcake is super soft but appeasrs to be lil sticky tho it’s cooked completely.. Not sure what’s wrong?
Try reducing the amount of oil and milk. I have used a 200 ml cup. Check whether yours is the same.
Hi
Would you think that the timing for baking should be a little more if we are baking in a microwave convection and not an OTG. I usually face this challenge.
Thanks
Every oven is different. So it is very necessary to understand the oven. As you have found out how your oven works, it is easy to apply it in recipes. Happy baking!
Hii ur recipies are gr8. Can u pls guide me on buying icing nozzles
Thank you so much. You get icing nozzle sets in Amazon. You can try that. https://amzn.to/3lSHpoX
Thankyou maam! Shall try finding them on amazon.
Why is no baking powder used in this recipe?
Baking soda takes care of leavening in this recipe.
This is hands down the best softest, nicest cupcakes ever!!! Loved it!
Thank you so much!
