My daughter & I made these cupcakes for my husband and he LOVED them! He especially loved the cream cheese frosting. It was pretty time consuming but worth it. GREAT RECIPE! Paula, YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN!

These cupcakes turned out delicious! I made two dozen, and they were gone almost instantly. I added a pinch more cocoa!

Wayy to oily.

These cupcakes are awful, I followed the recipe to a T. And they are very oily and bland, gross!

By Alexa on December 16, 2012

very good! But I think that it needs a lot more coco powder. More like a tablespoon then a teaspoon!

I followed the recipe exactly but they were heavy & tasted like playdough. Worst recipe so far

I always love Paulas recipes, I followed this to the T and my cupcakes tasted like corn muffins. Can using unbleached all purpose flour make the difference? The cream cheese frosting was amazing!

So today is 8/26/12 and just made these today. First, increase the cocoa powder to 3 TSP Second, decrease the amount of vegetable oil to only 1 cup and use a full stick of unsalted, softened butter to make up for the 1/2 cup. It was not greasy and it was pretty good. The frosting is good as it is. I would make this again.

I love this recipe, except for the frosting. It's just a little too thin. I remedy this with an additional 2 cups of powdered sugar. They're always a big hit at bake sales and parties. They accompany me to any event.

i made these the first time as cupcakes and they were excellent. it was a bitt oily but other then that they were great! im making them again but this time im trying it in a cake form (13x9 cake pan)hopefully it comes out just as good. i did cut the oil just by maybe a 1/4 cup

These cupcakes were great! I have never had red velvet before making these and I was very happy with them! However, they are very, very oily and it seeps throught the paper, but this makes it nice and moist. They are very pretty and fun to make and it is a great treat to make with family and friends!It tastes sweet and delicious!
