The Perfect Red Velvet Cupcakes (Updated Recipe)

Perfect for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, and special occasions

Hi foodie,

If you’re in the mood for a classic that never disappoints, this one’s for you. I’ve just updated one of my all-time favorites with fresh new photos, clearer steps, and a few small tweaks to make it even better. These red velvet cupcakes are soft, rich, and topped with the creamiest frosting — exactly how they should be.

Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

These red velvet cupcakes are moist, fluffy, and lightly chocolatey, with that signature deep red color and a subtle tang from buttermilk. They’re finished with a smooth, tangy cream cheese frosting that perfectly balances the sweetness. Perfect for birthdays, holidays, or whenever you want a reliable, bakery-style cupcake that always works.
