Dye-free Red Velvet Cupcakes
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 tbs. cocoa
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg
3/4 cup beet puree
Preheat oven to 350; put 12 cupcake liners in tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In another bowl, add the oil, lemon juice, vanilla, and egg to the beet puree.
Pour the beet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, and mix well to combine.
Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full and bake for 18-22 minutes, until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar
Beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until the frosting is smooth. Put frosting into a pastry bag and pipe onto cupcakes in thick swirls.
