I first heard of the red velvet cupcakes while scrolling through Martha Stewart’s website.It’s basically a lighter version of a chocolate cupcake but in the shade of dark red and topped with cream cheese frosting.If you must know,the color of the cake is achieved through a chemical reaction between the buttermilk,vinegar and cocoa powder and  a tinsy bit of red food colouring to intensify the colour.

Whoever said that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels clearly has never had a cookie & cream cupcake.
