Making Red Velvet Cupcakes is a straightforward process. Follow these easy steps to create your delicious treat:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and fully mixed. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Frost: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with cream cheese frosting using a piping bag or a spatula.
9. Decorate: If desired, add sprinkles or other toppings for an extra touch of flair.

By following these steps, you’ll have a batch of Red Velvet Cupcakes that look as good as they taste!
