These cupcakes came out very nice. However, the recipe calls for way too much food color. The first time i baked these, there was no chocolate flavor, so then instead of using 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, i used 4. Overall not bad!

i made these cupcakes exactly as instructed, they were so terrible. almost play-dough consistency. they barely rose, the cake was dense and oily, and it tasted like food coloring. the frosting was very good but the cake was so terrible. i will never make these ever again. i suggest trying another recipe, or altering it based on the comments.

This was my 1st attempt at red velvet cupcakes, and they turned out really well. I used a little less oil (after reading the negative comments about too much oil and baked them for 20 minutes instead of 22 minutes. I also only had 1 tbls of red food coloring, so I added a little more cocoa powder to get a nice dark batter. The cupcake itself came out moist and delicious - a little TOO chocolate-y tasting for a true red velvet taste, but I didn't mind, they were still delicious! The cream cheese frosting was super easy and tasted great - it made about double the amount I needed though. I would definitely make this again.

Huge hit!!! I ran out of the cupcakes so fast that because of everyone wanting more, I had to make another batch a few days later. Great recipe....I will keep it as a regular in my kitchen. Easy to make, great to eat!!!

the only problem i had with the cupcake is that i ran out of one kind of food coloring and tried to fix it with a paste... long story short, the cupcakes had a bit of a food coloring after taste XP that may have been my own fault, but they were the right color ^ . ^d
in any case, good frosting fixes everything. i like these cupcakes. i would make them again.

oh...
i also had to increase baking time, but that situation seems to be different for everyone.

This receipe does cause for a few additional steps but it was well worth it! The cupcakes were moist,and very good. I didn't try the cream cheese icing receipe, I used a store bought cream cheese icing. I will give it a try the next time, I see alot of great! comments on it!

I saw the review was low for a lot of people, but i know even when you follow someone else's recipe you make it your own, the only thing i did different was not bake it as long as said to, and i used the icing recipe that was with it, I LOVED IT! It was not bitter or too sweet, and everyone i gave some to for valentines day loved them too....awesome recipe!

Thank you

I am so sorry I tried this recipe. The cake was so bitter because of the red dye food coloring. And it calls for 3 tbs. of coco powder and it should be no more that a teaspoon. It calls for 2 ozs. of red FOOD COLOR but it only needed 1 ounce. not enough sugar should be butter instead of oil. Horrible and bitter. The icing was fantastic. I cannot servE this to my guest. I will remove the iceing from the red mess and rebake chocolate cupcakes and plsce the icing on them. NASTY CAKE!! Yuk!!

I followed the recipe exactly as directed and the cupcakes came out a little dry and not very flavorful. They were ok but not great. I loved the frosting it was very yummy..
I made the cupcakes for a holiday party @ work everyone said they liked them but they also agreed that they were dry. I think that because the frosting was so good it made up for the cupcake not tasting so great.
