How to Make Red Velvet Cupcakes

[MsCoolstorybro1]

oh my goshh i love your converses. and your left eyebrow :) haha

[twinkle3210]

so is butter milk is just normal milk can you reply back please thanks as i live in new zealand and we just have normal milk is that just the same cheers

[averagebetty]

@twinkle3210 Buttermilk is not the same as normal milk -- You can make a buttermilk substitute like this:

1. Place a Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup.

2. Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line.

3. Let stand for five minutes and use in the recipe.

[wongtiff]

[averagebetty]

@wongtiff Aww! Sorry I missed this -- Thank you!!

[pantinello]

Nothing average about your Ta Ta’s.

[mylilhannah]

chef john would class you as a 'savage'.

[averagebetty]

@mylilhannah I love Chef John - and he's called me a lot of names... but never savage. Why do you say? :D

[mylilhannah]

@averagebetty haha, i was only joking. on his red velvet cupcake video, he said whoever ices their cupcakes with the lining on is a savage :-) didn't mean to offend you.

[averagebetty]

@mylilhannah Haha! Don't worry, I figured you were joking :) But if you take the lining off, aren't you getting your fingers all over the cake? I need to watch his red velvet video ;) LOL

[mylilhannah]

@averagebetty well, my neighbours mum is a cupcake fanatic, and she leaves the lining on... i think it's a pain because i get my fingers all in the icing and dug into the cupcake! but i guess it would be fine it she didn't put so much icing on x_x

[AnnaBanana24135]

just subbed!

[averagebetty]

@AnnaBanana24135 Thank you!! <3

[TequilaMonster666]

How about a recipe on getting a date with Sara?

[V1992J]

Wow, when you took those cupcakes out of the oven I could almost smell them! You are funny and remind me of Crista Flanagan :D

[averagebetty]

@V1992J That is such a compliment -- love her! Thank you!! :) Those were some of the best cupcakes I have ever made lol!!

[dinhkathleen]

I absoloutely LOVE & ADORE Red Velvet cupcakes! :D

[KirrrstenD]

Wow those look so good. it's my finals week at college, I think I'll make these to cheer up my roommates, and myself. I need a study break! haha. Thanks for the recipe!

[flylikeme010]

Paula Deen does use butter in her Red Velvet cake...

[HIGHSPEEDMAKION]

I'm going to make this cake on weekend =P

[macaroniladie]

im on youtube trying to pass the tim while mine are being made right now :)

[BewareOfHolyCrackers]

Hi, I was wondering do you find out these recipes by yourself? Or do you get them from family? Or on the internet or a cookbook? :D

[averagebetty]

@BewareOfHolyCrackers Haha! I develop and test all of my recipes. I find inspiration from all the places you mention and also eating at restaurants and recreating entrees :)

[TheMittyChannel]

You just made my day!

[SilverLuvIncx]

HI. Im just sad to say, sadly, Paula deen actually does use butter. Sad isnt it?

[TimmyFellDownTheWell]

i just love you lol

[averagebetty]

@TimmyFellDownTheWell Aww! I love you <3

[mmh3999]

She is so funny!

[Euroensiklopediya]

Hi Sara, just wanted to thank you for the response first. I have some real problems getting red food colouring and well... they aren't exactly red nor velvet without the magic food colouring... I'm gonna try requesting it at a store and maybe I'll vlog if I get to do this eventually (and if I have the guts).

[monstertiktok]

i wish i have kitchenAid!

[averagebetty]

@monstertiktok You can do it without the mixer. It's a good arm workout :)

[TheMrFERD]

I made this red velvet cupcakes... but an hour later after baking it, it didnt taste velvety. it tasted like brownies! xP thanks though! (i think i put too much coco powder onto it. thats why it tastes like brownies i guess)

[averagebetty]

@TheMrFERD Sorry to hear it didn't go so well - can't use too much cocoa ;) On the plus side, at least they tasted like brownies and not... liver & onions :)

[TheMittyChannel]

@TheMrFERD try a recipe that uses cake flour. I tried making one with all purpose and another with cake flour, the one with APF tasted like "brownies" but the one with CF was more spongy. I also reduced the amount of cocoa powder to 1 tbsp because I wanted it to be commercially red.lol

[TheKlappers]

How did i bodge this up, i miss read(tsp)teaspoon & (tbsp)Tablespoon so my mix got a tablespoon of salt, baking soda & baking powder....Grrrrrrrrrr.........­..Being a guy who doesnt do this often something that might help my brothers is use a capital T in Tablespoon so they dont look so similar........... Yes i know i should have double checked & read it properly but im sure you know what men are like...... Anyway im doing your burritos tomorrow

[averagebetty]

@TheKlappers Bummer! Sorry to hear the cupcakes didn't go so well -- maybe you can come over and help me reformat my whole website lol :) Good luck with the burritos!! Let me know how it goes...

[1237therealdude]

is it ok if you use just regular milk for the frosting and regular milk for the batter?

[averagebetty]

@1237therealdude You can use regular milk for the frosting but for the batter, make this buttermilk substitute:

1. Place a Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup.

2. Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line.

3. Let stand for five minutes and use in the recipe.

Let me know how it goes!!

[Euroensiklopediya]

Will the batter be just as substantial if I use soy milk, egg substitute and all-out brown sugar? My culinary hands are twitching and I've gone vegan :P

[averagebetty]

@Euroensiklopediya I don't know, but I'd love for you to try! No twitching on Saturday morning :) Just do this "buttermilk substitute" trick to your soy milk:

1. Place a Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup.

2. Add enough (soy) milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line.

3. Let stand for five minutes and use in the recipe.

Let me know how it goes!!

[JosieJadore]

Eep! you made my fave cupcakes EVER! You truly are the best and this recipe looks amazing!

[heriberto2271]

you have precious smile so you are so beauty.

may be ill bake that cupcakes.

Saludos desde Mexico

[chromachan]

Can you use Dutch processed cocoa powder? I have a lot of it and want to use it for recipes. Thanks!

[averagebetty]

@chromachan You sure can! Let me know how they turn out :)

[shaunsparrow197]

[dvuo6720]

[xAppleHead]

Awesome job! I'm planning to make these for my sister's birthday :P

I just wanted to know if there are any substitutes for buttermilk cause I can't really find any of that :/

Thank you! =]

[averagebetty]

@xAppleHead Happy Birthday, Sis! Let me know if you give the cupcakes a try!

This "buttermilk substitute" should work for you:

1. Place a Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup.

2. Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line.

3. Let stand for five minutes and use in the recipe.

[xAppleHead]

@averagebetty Awesome! Thanks! :D

[AnzuUrumi]

I going to make some cupcakes now!!! ;D Tankyou x3

[averagebetty]

[d10230]

@averagebetty i'm a huge spinal tap fan!!! also cranking up my kitchen aid to full speed just make me so happy!!

[akaVerite]

I love that you took the time to mention that the authentic recipe does not include butter. :) I like knowing little details like that!

[averagebetty]

@akaVerite Thanks! I do too... Fun Facts! :)

[cheesymate]

so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[averagebetty]

@cheesymate Yay! Thank you!!

[sassywolf1]

God, I have SINNED! I lick the spoon!

[averagebetty]

[Gynatriod]

[averagebetty]

@Gynatriod Wow! That's a compliment :)

[MIDNAq1LINK]

I should make these instead of going back to school.

[averagebetty]

@MIDNAq1LINK Stay in school! Make these when you get home :)

[myalisa78]

And you're skinny because?

[averagebetty]

@myalisa78 I don't think most people consider me "skinny" lol :P

[DeepSouthCooking]

I'd kill a drifter for one of those cupcakes.

[averagebetty]

@DeepSouthCooking Oh my!

[heriberto2271]

whats the name of that girl?

[averagebetty]

@heriberto2271 I'm Sara :)

[sQr3bykuMT2]

whhat a shiet >.<

[kefrank12]

I made these but totally stuffed up the icing

[KeegoNguyen]

Your video is very upbeat it made me giggle alittle. Your cupcakes looks so moist compared to most and that's what I love . Do you maybe suggest using oil instead of butter in most cupcake recipes to get that result?

[averagebetty]

@KeegoNguyen Thank you for your sweet comment! You know, I don't think you can exchange oil and butter on a one-to-one ratio but the two are interchangeable. It would require experimenting with your recipe...

[KeegoNguyen]

@averagebetty oh ok thank you for your reply :) well i hope to see more cupcake recipes soon. Would love to see a chocolate or vanilla that is as moist as this. I really need to learn some basics :P But then again my oven's temperature sux. neways thanks again.

[averagebetty]

@KeegoNguyen I have a vanilla cupcake recipe on my site (no video yet but lots of photos) that is super moist I am here to teach you the basics :P

[alexpringle20]

you make cooking fun!! :) im going to make these sometime!

[averagebetty]

@alexpringle20 WooHoo! Thank you!! Let me know how they turn out if you give them a try :D

[ManaJunkie]

They taste delicious... but they didn't look as hot as yours! One of these years I'm going to make a video reply showing how I made what you've made... but I'd prolly die of shame.

[averagebetty]

@ManaJunkie How cool you made them! I bet they looked great -- I'd love to see sometime; post a pic on my FB wall!

[NekoCylestia]

Yummy! I can't wait to try to make these!

[averagebetty]

@NekoCylestia Yay! Let me know if you try them!!

@dude1764 I know. Silly huh?

[guitarrahombre]

damn this chick is like weird al but with boobs and shit

[BewareOfHolyCrackers]

Hi ! Great video, I looked up the recipe but may I ask what kind of oil should I use? Cooking oil, olive oil, vegetable oil? Thanks in advance !

[averagebetty]

@BewareOfHolyCrackers Thanks for checking out the recipe! You can use any type of "flavorless" oil... vegetable, canola, corn, "cooking" oil -- even a light olive oil would be fine; but regular olive oil may impart a taste you won't enjoy...

[BewareOfHolyCrackers]

@averagebetty Oh okay ! Btw, thanks for replying ! :)

[CupcakeAndTea]

@BewareOfHolyCrackers Canola, Vegetable, Grapeseed, Sunflower oil etc... any flavorless oil would work but don't use olive oil unless you want the cupcakes take mildly taste like it.

[Lenna646]

Out of all the cooking vids on youtube. I really enjoyed your vid. :)

[averagebetty]

@Lenna646 Yay! Thank you so much!!

[KieferKhaos]

[granmaknowsbest]

And to get that extra boost just Sprinkle it with a coat of cocaine

[frogsoda]

Sorry, but the food processor is no replacement for the champagne POP! Jus sayin....

[averagebetty]

@frogsoda Wow! Are you going back to 2008? lol :)

[frogsoda]

@averagebetty lol You make it seem so long ago!

[averagebetty]

@frogsoda it seems so long ago!! I need to dig out a wig pronto lol!

[frogsoda]

@averagebetty AWWI still love ya Betty. It's just that sometimes I think you might be trying to hold back on the average. I can spot it trying to get out sometimes. LOL!

[bestvicious]

let me try some!!@#!$#@#$@

[averagebetty]

@bestvicious Oh my! It's all yours...

[TheMrFERD]

heyy! instead of using coco powder (i dislike the taste), can i use something similar but with a different taste? like vanilla or strawberry?

[averagebetty]

@TheMrFERD You know, you can't even taste the cocoa powder... it really doesn't taste like chocolate cake. It tastes like... red velvet. So, you could try another flavor, but you wouldn't be making a red velvet :)

[FlurpzZ]

"You beater lickers know who you are."

Guilty.

[averagebetty]

@FlurpzZ HeeHee :) Me too...

[velvetQueen699999]

You should have your own show on The FOOD Network, you have what it takes!
