Red Velvet Cupcakes

Allergy friendly naturally colored Red Velvet Cupcakes, my friends!!

Naturally colored because you should always do your best to stay away from artificial anything, especially dyes that stain your skin. If it does that, imagine what it does to your insides!!

Am I right or what??

When you treat your body well, it’ll return the favor. Makes sense to me.

How to get that natural red

Making naturally colored foods can be tricky because you have to get the ratios right, especially when it comes to red; the batter has to be acidic enough to preserve that pretty pinkish red hue. Not sure if the same applies to the other colors but I’ll let you know once I experiment with them.

Getting the pretty red to show in this recipe was kind of challenging, and I failed so many times because of it. But with perseverance came success and unwanted pounds – and thankfully I got something so good, it was worth the little muffin top I’m currently sporting, and also worth the extra time I’m spending at the gym to shed what I’ve deemed as ‘necessary poundage’ for the cause.

If only you knew how much I love you :)

Simple to make delicious cupcakes

These red velvet cupcakes are dye free and simply made using everyday ingredients. You are going to freak at how easy this recipe is to make. And the cupcakes taste so super good: hint of chocolate, sweet, pretty, allergy friendly. Can’t beat that combo.

Cream cheese icing is typically suggested for red velvet cakes and cupcakes. But I say use whatever you like on top – don’t feel limited to only one type of icing because someone said it has to be that way. Be a rebel in the kitchen!

For example, the icing pictured in this recipe is a whipped cream icing and it worked out superbly. One day I’ll share that recipe with you – once it’s perfect :D
