I know what you're thinking. Huuuuge shocker. Red velvet cupcakes on Valentine's Day. But I'm a big believer in the mantra, "If it ain't broke...don't fix it." And coincidentally, another mantra I live by is, "Everything tastes better with cream cheese frosting." Seriously. Everything.
I visited Manhattan with my sister last fall, and we went to two different bakeries and were shocked and disgusted to discover that neither bakery used cream cheese frosting on their red velvet cupcakes. Buttercream? Really? I flew all the way from Oregon for buttercream? Not up in here.
I have experimented with quite a few red velvet recipes in my day, and this one takes the (red velvet) cake. Happy love day!
