Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

In a mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together.

In a separate bowl, add the buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla, and red food coloring. Stir together.

Then, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until combined. Do not overmix.

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each one ⅔ full.

Bake for 18 to 21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove the cupcakes from the oven. Let them cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cupcakes are fully cooled, make the frosting. In a mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar, butter, cream cheese, and vanilla. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth and creamy.

Frost the fully cooled cupcakes. Serve!
