Pink Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Pink Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting- A fun twist on the classic velvet cupcake! Pink cupcakes topped with a smooth cream cheese frosting.

These adorable cupcakes are just right for Valentine’s Day or just any old day you simply want a cupcake. 😉

Ingredients Needed:

• Flour + Salt+ Baking soda
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Sugar
• Butter
• Egg + Vanilla
• Vinegar
• Milk
• Food coloring
• Cream cheese
• Powdered sugar

Butter: Make sure it’s softened.

Food Coloring: I was unable to find pink food coloring at my store. So, I simply used a smidgen of red instead. If you have pink, use the pink. If you have red, use the red, but, just a bit less than the pink.

A few notes:

• This recipe makes just 6 cupcakes, instead of the standard 12.
• Traditionally, velvet cupcakes are matched with cream cheese frosting. I shared a link to my recipe here at Big Green House in the recipe card. Being that this recipe only makes 6 cupcakes, you will have to cut that frosting recipe in half.
