Red Velvet Cupcakes---Family Simple Version
Overview
Authentic red velvet cake requires buttermilk and sour cream. Most families do not always have these two things, so we simplified them and replaced them with our common yogurt. Although the copycat version is not original, it tastes good.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Pour the softened butter and sugar into a large container. Use a hand-held electric whisk to beat the sugar into the butter at low speed, then beat at medium-high speed until the butter becomes lighter in color and fluffy.
-
Add eggs and beat evenly.
-
Add yogurt and mix well. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
-
Sift together flour, cocoa powder, red yeast powder, baking soda, and salt and add to step 3.
-
Mix well with a rubber spatula.
-
Pour the batter evenly into the mold, no more than 2/3 of the mold.
-
Place in the preheated oven, 175°C, and bake for 22-24 minutes. Turn the baking pan 180 degrees at 12 minutes to ensure even heating. Prick the middle of the cake with a bamboo skewer. When you take it out, there will be no egg liquid attached and the cake will be clean and baked.
-
Take out the baked cake and let it cool in the mold for 5 minutes, then move it to the baking rack until it is completely cooled.
