Red Velvet Cupcakes - Finding Out What The Fuss Is All About!

I'd not a clue what a red velvet cupcake was until I received an email from Nosh Food Market with a link to their recipe. Being the "Google Queen" that I am, I began to search more information on this... quote, "delectable peice of heaven" unquote...well this is how one person described the little red cake. After 15 mins of browsing delicious looking images, I was hooked and decided to dash to the supermarket and gather up the ingredients to see what all the fuss is about!

Along the way (Google way that is), I discovered...
These gorgeous cupcakes featured for Valentines on the most delightful blog,  "Made From Scratch".  I'm proud to say, another fellow "Kiwi" blogger and this little blog has real "style". Click "here" to view their version of this delectable cupcake.


My Red Velvet results using Nosh's recipe below. (note: I replaced the buttermilk in their recipe with 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup of runny natural yogurt). 

Handy Tip: Place your cupcake papers in a patty pan/muffin tin as this will help to keep their shape and the mixture won't spread. Alternatively use several papers and remove the outer ones after cooking. I didn't  do this and mine spread considerably.


To download the recipe I used, please click on nosh logo below or you can visit the Nosh website to see more recipes, news, specials etc


If your not sure how to ice your cupcake, visit Glorious Treats for some simple instructions.

  1. Mmmm...red velvet cupcakes are so yummy!

    Thank you for leaving me such a nice comment on my blog, Lee. My mom was 40 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and it returned when she was in her 60's. When she died, she had survived breast cancer for 26 years! I was 27 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and so she was still alive and was my caregiver. You can find out more about my story on this page: http://www.lemondroppie.com/my-breast-cancer-story/

    Being a caregiver for someone you love with cancer is a difficult job. Your mom is so lucky to have you! Blessings to you and your mom!

    1. Thank you so much for your comment, Its a tough time when someone has been diagonsed with cancer but I do know many survivors, unfortunately for my mum it's stage four breast to bone. Screening is just so important because if they catch it early it can be beaten for sure.

      I will read your full story on your site.
