I was going through my last post on a snack platter of Black Chickpeas Kebab and Red Velvet Cupcakes that I have prepared for 20 underprivileged children on Asthami and found the post a bit clumsy with two recipes! On that thought I have decided to just to post the Red Velvet Cupcake recipe separately for the sake of my eyes! As I already mentioned in my last post that it was an amazing feeling to cook for the group of little angels and my own little tadpole helped me a lot with her shining smile and she was excited too since She loves cupcakes! I have made Whole Wheat Red Velvet Cupcakes and used oil instead of butter in the batter of the muffins! My Cupcakes came out superb and apart from the 20 cakes I prepared 5 pieces extra for us so that Pasta can cherish her portion with milk and me with my cup of Coffee!
The miniature of the classic Red Velvet Cake with a twist of Whole Wheat Flour and no butter along with a charming Red colour! Here goes the recipe again for Whole Wheat Red Velvet Cupcake! Do try it and let me know how it comes out! Believe it is a pleasure to bake Red Velvet cupcakes and amazing to grab those without thinking about bad calories since these cakes are made up of Whole Wheat Flour!
