Directions
- FOR THE CUPCAKES:
- STEP ONE
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Line 2 standard cupcake pans with 12 baking cups each.
- STEP TWO
Sift together the flour and salt in a bowl and set aside.
- STEP THREE
Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer. Beat on medium speed until fluffy. Stop to add the sugar; beat on medium speed until well incorporated.
- STEP FOUR
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly after each addition. In a small bowl, whisk together the vanilla extract, red food coloring, and cocoa powder.
- STEP FIVE
Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the red food coloring and cocoa powder mixture and mix until just combined.
- STEP SIX
On low speed, add one-third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then gradually add one-third of the milk, beating until well incorporated. Add another one-third of the flour mixture, followed by one- third of the milk. Stop to scrape down the bowl as needed. Add the remaining flour mixture, followed by the remaining milk, and beat just until combined.
- STEP SEVEN
In a small bowl, add the baking soda to the apple cider vinegar, whisk together to dissolve baking soda, and immediately add to the batter and mix in on low speed, until fully incorporated in batter.
- STEP EIGHT
Add the Baileys Red Velvet and mix in on low speed, until fully incorporated in batter.
- STEP NINE
Use a standard-size ice cream scoop to fill each cupcake paper with batter, so that the wells are two- thirds full. Bake for 16 to 18minutes (start checking at 15 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- STEP ONE
Place the butter and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer. Beat on medium speed and slowly add the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract, and once all confectioners’ sugar is added, beat on high speed for 3-5 minutes. Add the Baileys Red Velvet and mix in on low speed, then beat on high speed for an additional minute.
- STEP TWO
Transfer to a plastic piping bag fitted with a plain round metal tip and frost each cupcake with a swirl of frosting. Decorate each cupcake with a red fondant heart.
- STEP THREE
Serve and enjoy!
