Directions
- Prepare Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line twenty-four 2-1/2-inch muffin cups with paper bake cups; set aside.
- Combine oil and granulated sugar in large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed. Blend in vinegar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until well blended after each addition. Add red food coloring; beat until combined.
- Combine flour, cocoa powder and baking soda in medium bowl. Add to sugar mixture alternately with buttermilk. Beat on low speed until blended after each addition. Divide batter evenly into prepared cups.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
- Prepare Frosting: Place cream cheese and butter in medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed 1 to 2 minutes or until creamy. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; blend until smooth.
- Frost tops of cupcakes with frosting. Garnish with pecans, if desired.
Cook's Tip
To reduce the fat in the frosting, use 1/3 less fat cream cheese (Neufchatel) in place of the regular cream cheese.
To bake batter as a cake, spray three 8-inch round cake pans with PAM® Baking Spray; set aside. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans 5 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks. Proceed with recipe as directed.
