I'm only as good as the recipe, and tonight, I failed. This recipe is awful. All I could smell was oil. I didn't think I'd need to read the reviews and I was crunched for time - I trusted the star rating and after all, it's a Paula Dean recipe! Big fail. The cupcakes look great, and the frosting is fantastic, but between the terrible taste of the cake, and the fact that the frosting recipe creates at least three times as much needed, Food Network should be ashamed for allowing this to be published.

Like I rated these cupcakes...They are excellent! I made 12 using exactly half of the amounts listed for my wife for Valentine's day. She loved them; I loved them! I don't really know what the people who reviewed down below were talking about. I followed the recipe to a T and they are absolutely scrumptious. They have a sweet, light, and not too dense sort of taste, and the frosting was simply amazing!

I should have done the modifications that people have suggested... the cake was not good at all. It had the consistency of cake but no flavor. It was between this recipe and another one I found on pinterest and I wish I would have gone with the other one. Was making these for work and I ended up having to bust out the box mix which was much much better. I do have to say though that the frosting is AWESOME which is why I had chosen this recipe over the other. I had used the frosting recipe on some pumpkin spice cupcakes and I had figured the red velvet cupcakes would be just as amazing. NOPE.

Great recipe. I read some of the reviews under modifications. I did follow a few of them and I had wonderful results. I increased the buttermilk by a 1/2cup and reduced the oil to 3/4 cups. I also added an extra egg, for moisture. I decreased the sugar to 1 cup. I increased the cocoa powder to 4 tbsp and I used 1oz red food coloring. All this gave me a rich and very moist cake. The frosting I cut by half. I had more then enough to cover 36 cup cakes and I still had some leftover.

Thank you Paula for another great receipe! I love red velvet with a birthday by Christmas, I usually get one every year. But not this year with my M-in-Law gone. I've always heard how hard they are to make but this was super easy and tastes great!

I followed other reviews ans substituted an additional 1/2c buttermilk for 1/2 c oil. They came out great. The icing is awesome! I started by halfing the icing recipe as some suggested. I was piping the icing onto the cupcakes, so for me half the recipe wasn't quite enough. The cupcakes were a big hit at our super bowl party.

I am an amateur baker determined to learn how to bake this year, so I tried this recipe and it turned out FANTASTIC !!!!! The measurements were precise, I baked 24 cupcakes for my family of 5 so we had some left overs which were still moist and delicious 3 days later. I would absolutely recommend this recipe.

These were not good at all. So disappointed as I had used all my ingredients for a fund raiser the next morning and couldn't make another batch. Though I give the frosting 5 stars! The cake in the cupcake was bland and tasted more like cornbread even though used less oil as posters recommended and doubled the cocoa powder. They were also not " red" more like a dark pink. I'm a very good baker and I love Paula and her recipes, but I won't be making this one again,
