Red Velvet Cupcake

ரெட் வெல்வெட் கப் கேக் (Red Velvet Cupcake)

Red Velvet Cupcake is traditionally a red, red-brown, Crimson or scarlet-colored chocolate cake. Butter milk, butter, cocoa, vinegar and flour are the main ingredients for this recipe. Beetroot or red food coloring may be used for the color. Butter milk/ yogurt must be used in this recipe for the fluffiness. Red velvet emulco gives moisture for the cake. It took less than 30 minutes for me to prepare the cake batter.
