Ingredients

– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon baking powder

– 2 tablespoons red gel food coloring
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon cocoa powder


Instructions

Creating delicious Pink Velvet Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Frosting is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, gel food coloring, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined and no lumps remain.
5. Fill Cupcake Liners: Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until combined.
9. Add Vanilla and Cream: Add the vanilla extract, vanilla bean seeds, and heavy cream. Beat on high speed for about 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.
10. Frost Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a piping bag or a spatula to frost them generously with the vanilla bean frosting.
11. Decorate: Add sprinkles or other decorations if desired, then serve and enjoy!
