LOVE! I am a cupcake lover and I am KNOWN for paying plenty for the "designer cupcakes". This recipe is simple, fast, and delicious. I baked it for my co-worker and I usually buy the expensive cupcakes for them and they could not believe I had baked them. I do recommend to place the cupcakes on paper towels while or after cooling because of the oil. Other than that I seriously recommend trying this recipe... It is truly worthwhile!

This recipe is awful !! One there is not enough coco powder and the amount of food color is wrong as well and its not moist enough the original recipe is not red velvet at all. It does make for a good cup cake but not red velvet in anyway what so ever.

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!
