Red Velvet Cupcakes

This was the first ‘scientific’ cake I knew. The red velvet cake uses buttermilk and vinegar to create the soft velvety texture unique to the cake. To me, it is simply delicious. I love my red velvet slightly moist on the inside and in this version, I added rum to the cream cheese icing.
