I cannot understand why this recipe is rated so highly. I just made these cupcakes and followed the recipe exactly. Just because this is a Paula recipe doesn't automatically make it good. The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cup of vegetable oil! Are you kidding? There is nothing about these cupcakes that tastes like red velvet. So disappointed that I felt like it was a waste of my time to finish frosting them.

Did I read this right? It only called for 1 teaspoon of cocoa. The cupcakes were great but very mild in cocoa flavor. I could hardly tell it was there. Next time I'll add more.

I'm a novice cook, and tried this recipe for my first cupcake cooking experience. They were great! I read the reviews and tweaked the recipe a bit. I cut most of the ingredients in half since I only wanted to make a dozen. I used 2 teaspoons of vanilla and 2.5 of cocoa powder and the flavor was there. I only used 1 tablespoon of food coloring since I saw complaints about the taste and it did the trick. I used one cup of oil and there is still some residue. I may cut it just a little more. I also cut the frosting ingredients by half and still had enough for about two dozen. It is really light and not overly sweet at all. My family loved them and were surprised at how well they came out. I recommend trying this recipe!!

These are amazing cupcakes. A couple notes
1 Use 1 cup oil and 1 1/2 cup buttermilk
2 Only make half the icing
3 Only use half the food coloring
4 If you make the buttermilk use a combination of yogurt and milk. It tasted delicious!
I'm very glad I found this recipe!

Pretty good cupcakes. I made these as large cupcakes and baked them for 23 minutes. Two things to note: (1 watch the red food coloring (everyone will end up with red tongues and (2 this is a really oily cupcake (let them cool on paper towels to soak up some of the oil. If you're going to pipe the icing on your cupcakes, chill the icing a little bit before piping so that it's the right consistency.

These cupcakes are delicious. They are so moist, but also sooo greasy. I want to try this recipe again, but with less oil. Hopefully using maybe 1 cup of oil instead of 1.5 will not compromise the taste.
