Ingredients

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp unsweetened or Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup water
4 tbsp red food coloring
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp distilled white vinegar

Directions

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cocoa powder and baking soda.
2In the bowl of a stand mixer fixed with the whisk attachment, combine sugar, butter, eggs and food coloring.
3Combine water, vinegar and buttermilk in a separate bowl and, while the stand mixer is mixing on low, alternate pouring in flour mixture and buttermilk mixture.
4Once mix is combined and lump-free, fill 24 lightly greased baking cups in cupcake pan(s) 3/4 full with the batter. Bake about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5Cool about 10 minutes in the cupcake pan(s) before removing and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack.
6Refrigerate cupcakes for at least 1 hour before frosting. Make sure frosting is at room temperature before using, too.

Hi @rtorr05! In order to get the rich vibrant color pictured, you will need to use the whole 4 tablespoons of food coloring; however, if the color is unimportant to you, feel free to lower the amount to a unit you're more comfortable with.
