Easy Red Velvet Cupcakes or Cake

 

Ingredients

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
2 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
5 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 (1 ounce) bottles red food coloring (do not reduce amount!)

Directions:

Set oven to 350 degrees.

Line 24 regular-size muffin tins with paper or foil liners.

In a large bowl beat the cake mix with baking cocoa, eggs, oil, buttermilk and food colouring for about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.

Spoon the batter evenly between the muffin tins about two-thirds full.

Remove from the pans immediately and cool on wire racks.
