Whats all the HYPE!?

What the heck is all the hype about RED VELVET Cupcakes??? I mean… really??? Why do you like them? Because they are RED? Because they aren’t VELVET!!! I mean, they are good, but I would prefer chocolate any day… and… I bet you didn’t know, but Red Velvet… is really chocolate, with food coloring, and vinegar… See ingredients below….

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tablespoons red food coloring
1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Okay, so… REALLY??? Do you really feel that much more excited about it??? I don’t get it… I prefere chocolate, with chocolate frosting… oooo soo good!!! with a big tall glass of milk, or maybe a cup of coffee… either way, chocolate is the way to go!
