Happy St. Patrick's Day!

"GREEN VELVET CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING"

A moist, fluffy cake with melt in your mouth Cream Cheese Icing.

I love baking. I love giving gifts. So I combine the two for nearly every holiday. For St. Patrick's Day I made Green Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing.

They are amazing. 

Green Velvet Cupcakes

2 1/2 Cups Flour

2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder ( I always use Hershey's)

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

1 1/2 Cup Canola Oil

1 1/2 Cup Sugar

2 Eggs

1 Teaspoon Vanilla

1 Teaspoon White Vinegar

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 Cup Buttermilk ( If you don't have it do 1 Cup Milk with 1 Tablespoon of Vinegar)

Green Food Coloring, I used a whole bottle, you can use more or less to suit you!

I just throw everything above in the mixer and press mix until smooth. About 2-3 minutes. 

Line the cupcake tins with papers and bake. Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees F. As soon as you put the cupcakes in change the temperature to 325 Degrees F and bake for 25 minutes. You will get large fluffy cupcakes

Nice and Fluffy. This trick has changed the way I bake cupcakes!

Frost with the following recipe:

Cream Cheese Frosting

16 Ounces Cream Cheese, Softened

1/2 Cup Butter, Softened

7 Ounces Marshmallow Fluff

1 Cup Powdered Sugar

Green Sprinkles, of course!
