Red Velvet Cupcakes
  1. Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 30 muffin cups with paper liners.

  2. Make cake: Mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

  3. Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time.

  4. Mix in sour cream, milk, food color, and vanilla.

  5. Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed until just blended; do not over-beat. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each ⅔ full.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from the pans; cool completely.

  7. While cupcakes are cooling, make frosting: Beat cream cheese, butter, sour cream, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth.

  8. Spread or pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes.
