Red velvet cupcakes

Recipe please??

Hi Tracy. Due to the tragic loss of my recipe folder in a move, I no longer have my original red velvet cake recipe, which I'd cobbled together from a bunch of different sources and my own embroiderings. This time I used Paula Deen's recipe, and I don't recommend it, thus I didn't post -- it's heavy on the oil, which I could see from looking at the ingredient list, but I was curious to see how they would come out, having never really baked with oil like that. This cake recipe (though not the frosting) from Stephanie Jaworski looks something like the one I used to use: http://www.joyofbaking.com/RedVelvetCake.html. Note that I haven't tried it, but that might be my starting point next time I'm in a red velvet mood.

Thanks....I did a quick search online and the first recipe I found was - I thought - Bobby Flay's recipe - from a Throwdown episode. Some of the reviews said it was oily too - also had 1 and a half cups of oil. I think I would prefer a batter made with butter.

I will try the recipe you suggested....this weekend to bring to a party.

I hope it's good! Let me know how it turns out.
