Red Velvet Cupcakes are commonly heavy on the chocolate flavor but this recipe is uncommon and offers only a hint of cocoa. The rich butter, buttermilk, and vanilla create a full flavored cake that is moist and dense. The cream cheese frosting is the rich and tangy buttercream that usually accompanies red velvet cake. For a lighter colored cupcake, use less food coloring. A deep red is great for Valentine’s Day, a light pink for Easter..

Southern Comfort Cupcakes
Southern Comfort Cupcakes are a yummy way to celebrate chocolate, adulthood, and well, almost anything. These sweeties start out with a boxed mix but add chocolate pudding and sour cream to add to the richness. There is an added kick in the buttercream with the Southern Comfort and fine sea salt. You can garnish with chocolate drizzle, chocolate candies, or just stick with the basics, the yummy chocolate cake and Southern Comfort buttercream.

Mini Vanilla Cupcakes
Sometimes simple is best. Take these mini vanilla cupcakes, for example. Baked in a mini-cupcake pan, they can be eaten in one bite — unless you want to savor them by eating them slower. The batter consists of flour, salt, baking powder, milk, vanilla, butter, sugar and eggs, nothing shocking there, right? The frosting is equally simple and tasty – tinted vanilla buttercream. Break it into batches and add some food coloring in order to make these treats slightly more colorful.

Gluten Free Quinoa Cupcakes
What makes gluten free cupcakes so different is their lack of standard flour. However, they still need something to hold them together and make them “cake-like.” In this cupcake recipe, the flour substitutes of choice are rice flour and quinoa. They also contain layer of spiced apples (made from scratch by apples, rum, water, sugar and cinnamon) as well as eggs, butter and more sugar. After baking, top them with a penuche frosting and then serve!
