Notes
- This recipe makes 24 slightly domed cupcakes like in the picture. Half the recipe for 12 cupcakes like I have done. You can also make 2 8 inch cakes with the full recipe or 1 8 inch cake with half.
- Vinegar and cocoa react together to give a rust color. If you use no red food coloring, you ll still get a reddish tinge to your cupcakes. They ll still taste damn good. The amount of coloring you add depends on how deep a red you want.
- I used 4 drops of Americolour XMas red . If you are using liquid food color, you might need around a tablespoon for the same red.
