    I have never made red velvet cupcakes before and because I love Annes recipes I decided to try these ones. Having read the other reviews I decided to use just 1 cup of oil. They turned out beautifully. I place a bowl of water in the oven whenever I bake, don't know if that made a difference but they were perfectly cooked after 20 minutes. I waited to do the frosting until my 8 year old daughter came home from school and we had great fun doing it together, we stuffed the cupcakes with some cherry jam for a more gruesome treat!! A wonderful way to start the halloween holidays!!

    DElicious cupcakes! I didn't do the brain decoration, and I think that made the entire process a lot simpler. When I baked them, I had to wait until the edges were slightly burnt for the inside to cook, but they still tasted delicious.

    Took the advice of others and increased the food coloring to one TBS. I also baked this in a heart-shaped springform pan for a Valentine's cake. I put all the batter into that pan, it rose a lot in the middle and cracked, but I didn't care. It needed almost an hour of cook time b/c it was a cake and needed to cook in the center. That meant the sides were a little OVERcooked. I imagine cupcakes would be perfect. The taste reminds me of a pound cake.

    I don't know why this recipe has such mixed reviews but giving the overwhelming number of positive to negative reviews I gave the recipe a try.

    I literally had little puddles of oil underneath the cupcake holders when I took them out of the pan. I pulled them apart and they looked incredible oily. I'm from Utah- maybe there is something about the altitude that makes them turn out so oily or not? Anyway- yuck. It was pretty gross.

    Made this for a bake sale and it was a hit! The only thing is that I would add a little more red food coloring for a more red tint in the cake but beyond that it came out perfect. Not oily at all! And the frosting!! So yummy!

    I had a order for a customer for red velvet cupcakes..so after reading the reviews i tested this one. Im a experienced baker (gourment & homecook let me tell ya...CUPCAKES ARE VERY OILY! I cannot sell these..you can see the oil thru the jumbo white cupcake liners. It was not "red" enough for me either. I could just imgaine a customer eating this cupcake asking for tons of napkins! I know quaility..i know taste and this cupcake is NOT the one. Sorry on to the next....

    I've never had red velvet cake before and I think I just found my new favorite cake! Very moist and tasty! I'm sure it will be a hit at work for my co-workers birthday tomorrow. Thanks Anne!
