  • 2 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao
  • 3 tablespoons natural red food coloring
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
  • Cream Cheese Frosting

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.
  • Add the salt, baking soda and vinegar.
  • For Blendtec: Use manual SPEED 10.
  • 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
