Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a standard muffin/cupcake pan with liners.
Add the egg, butter, sugar, cocoa powder, food coloring, and vanilla to blender
For Blendtec: (Wildside Jar): Press the BATTERS button.
For Vitamix (64oz Jar): Select Variable 1, turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 5. Blend for 20 seconds.
You may need to scrape the side of the jar and continue blending for a few seconds, to make sure that all the batter gets color.
Add half of the buttermilk and half of the flour and follow instructions above. Scrape the jar and repeat the process with the remaining milk and flour.
For Vitamix: Select Variable 1, turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to high. Blend until completely combined and smooth (about 1 minute)
Divide the batter evenly between the cupcake liners and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a thin knife or skewer inserted into the center of the largest cupcake comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes and then remove cupcakes from the pan and place them on a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
All done! Enjoy!! Now take a photo, rate it, and share your accomplishments! :) Tag @BlenderBabes & #BlenderBabes
