I hope they at least tasted terrific? What sort of cocoa powder did you use? Light (milk) cocoa rather than dark cocoa is preferable. Then, make sure you use the correct amounts of buttermilk and vinegar, as the acidity will help bring out the red in the cocoa. Finally, maybe try gel food colouring next time, as I think it is more intense, although you shouldn't need more than a couple of teaspoonsful. Good luck!

I added a whole bottle of liquid red food colouring but still my cupcakes were nowhere close to red. In fact, they almost looked like chocolate cupcakes. Could you let me know what possibly went wrong. I was really upset to see the final result. Look forward to a reply.<br />Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259536473826194612.post-29696489163151525732012-07-24T08:28:52.970+10:002012-07-24T08:28:52.970+10:00Your cupcakes look delicious and cute.
