How to Make the Best Red Velvet Cupcakes

[@rohinilall4602]

You remind me of some of the nicest, greatest teachers I’ve had. You take away the fear of going wrong, the fear of always being perfect and make failing seem acceptable. I teach grades 6-7 and show my students your videos at our weekly cooking club. My entire class loves you so much! ♥️♥️♥️

[@rohinilall4602]

I will! ♥️

[@kb-ih7ni]

Not lucky enough to have had a teacher like that but glad to know they exist!

[@Rihanna482]

You look sad and grumpy

[@SilentReader2]

I agree!

[@cutedinosaur3265]

Ikr , I agree!

[@hangiewangie]

I made this today and it was so fluffy and moist. Thank you so much! For those who are worried about the sugar, just cut it down. I cut about 30g from the batter and about 150g for the icing. Still worked!

[@ethelmartinez3465]

enjoyed watching almost all.😊

[@Growing_foodie-y4e]

Thanks

[@nasuhaaqilah5305]

hi may i know when u cut 30g of the batter, u reduce the cream cheese or the butter?

[@dimplesjohnson5812]

How many cupcakes did you get

[@OlasimboPopoola]

The picture speaks. Thank you so much, Preppy Kitchen. I added 60g more of flour though.

[@johnnycelusta3495]

I absolutely love this guy! He’s wonderful and laughs when he talks. He is the only person that explains everything while he instructs. Thank you for making the world awesome!!!

[@Vampyresdontdodishes]

He would make an amazing culinary instructor. He’s clear and charming and has such a natural and normal sense of humor with his presentation. This was the first channel that gave me the confidence to begin baking at 32 and it’s been so inspirational. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 🧁 🥧 🥮

[@PreppyKitchen]

You are too sweet! THanks so much and happy baking!!

[@RamkrishanYT]

I mean he is a culinary instructor

[@payton9696]

I just took my cupcakes out the oven and omgggggg I am so happy. Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to start baking. Your instructions are perfect. Your energy is so positive. Thank you thank you!!

[@anneagesa8125]

love how the lowkey sense of humor shines out.. what a fantastic teacher!

[@aprill.k1188]

This is the best cupcake ever. It is soft and crumbly.I have tried making a few from different channels n this is the only one that worked so far, it usually end up failing with a tofu like texture. Didn't make the topping but everything was done without machine, I got discouraged when I saw the standmixer😅 even without it the result is such an encouragement as I am a failure when it comes to cooking/baking.

[@Growing_foodie-y4e]

Thanks

[@shamolbegum3807]

I love love the fact you put grams measurements as well, I'm from England so this really helps, and I just love how you are too! Thank you!

[@rudolphjackson9496]

shamol begum I’m in the states but I love this too! Keeps everything precise and consistent.

[@ninyt]

I'm from Europe so I actually need grams to

[@faithharrison3755]

American baker here. Grams are a must when baking.

[@nadiaverbeeck6109]

#PreppyKitchen ; I'm curious ; how is it that you don't have a tv-programme yet ? You would an absolute hit ! I absolutely adore you and your clear and fun, passionate way of teaching us, thank you so much ! Love from Belgium ! ❤️

[@CherryJ2911]

Nadia Verbeeck right ?

[@MrsSmudger1]

I agree

[@cutedinosaur3265]

[@serenityfortune]

Totally!

[@ravneetbhogal2569]

100% agree but it’s more authentic this way, I think.

[@Angel-xg6bl]

My family loved this recipe...thank you

[@apv866]

I love how all his cakes as well as cup cakes come out flat! There is something so satisfying about flat cakes and cup cakes.

[@babyvlad007]

I think he said in another video they turn out this way because all the ingredients are at room temperature when he begins.

[@celeste8389]

My favourite teacher on KZbin! Yours was the first video that made me love baking. The buttercream flowers video. Love you so....

[@charmainemiranda2025]

I tried these cupcakes, they are super moist and just melt in your mouth. This is now my go to recipe. I baked 50 of these for my sons birthday and they all were consistent. Thank you @preppykitchen for this amazing recipe.

[@ineyyiaweems6202]

How many grams did you have to use ?

[@hasnaineesarvary3550]

I've tried a bunch of red velvet recipies but this was THE BEST. The texture and flavour is perfecttt

[@lilacscorpion]

Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe! I made these last night for the first time and they turned out AMAZING

[@cynthiagonzalez3334]

Thank you for translating from cups and sticks of butter to gr!, you have no idea how useful it is for some of us!! :), your recipes are always amazing, can’t wait to make these for my daughter’s birthday🎉

[@TristansMom10]

I made these for my sons on valentines day. They were really good! They had been asking for red velvet cake for the longest time, my oldest wasnt a fan of the cream cheese frosting. It was a bit sweet for me however it was the silkiest most beautiful frosting ive ever made. The cupcake was a weird color but I think it was because I was using a natural food coloring...i could not get it to be really red so I gave up! lol! overall this recipe was easy to follow, was super fast, and turned out great! Also I have never used a scale for baking but I will from now on! its so much easier!!!!

[@karin732]

I planned on making red velvet cupcakes today and you just uploaded a video with a recipe😍😍best coincidence ever

[@abhikumar4913]

Omg! Same here~ :)

[@Kanden_AX]

I love the funny comments in the video, like when you were struggling with the flour, or when you admitted you forget the sugar all the time. Instant subscriber just for that.

[@lynnjepson8218]

this guy cracks me up! LOL....all those empties around, just like MY kitchen! and one episode the towel wrapped around the beater, and it was a riot. He doesn't edit anything out, and I love him for it. It was the royal wedding cake episode....I still go back to it...

[@celestemalec5043]

Made these today for my son-in-law's birthday. They are the best I have ever tasted. I have never used this method of creaming before and must admit was a little sceptical. The end result is absolutely superb, thank you.

[@gizzykatkat9687]

You have got to be the cutest and happiest guy ever! I just love you and all of your recipes! Thank you so much.

[@1gttoepicks]

After going down the rabbit hole, I clicked on your video. Thank you! You speak my language. I have never made red velvet anything before, but feel I can do a great job with your teaching and techniques. Love it!

[@karimyousfi9831]

Thank you ever so much John for this wonderful recipes. You are just a joy to watch and so entertaining. My daughter and I can't have enough, all she watches on you Tube is you! Big kiss from London

Tried this recipe, and I have to say, it was really good. Moost and fluffy. Will be using this recipe from now on!😊😍

[@summerjohnson7913]

Omg you are just so welcoming and I always enjoy your videos. I’ve always had this fear when it comes to baking but your videos takes that fear and replaces it with confidence and a sense of “it’s okay to make mistakes, just relax”. Thank you! 😊

Thank you. This is now the fourth recipe I’ve tried from you channel and every one of them have turned out delicious. Your instructions are easy to following. You’re fun to watch and overall I enjoy your channel. The one problem is that my husband and I can’t eat them fast enough for me to try the next recipe. Thanks again😁👍

[@kimberlywilsonvincent6608]

I have a beautiful KitchenAid stand mixer that is more kitchen decor than anything. You’ve inspired me to whip that baby out and start baking. I ❤️ your videos!! Your spirit as a teacher really shines through. Thank you!

[@foghorn90leghorn73]

Excellent recipe and it was perfect the first time I tried it. For my taste, the cream cheese frosting was delicious but made twice as much as I wanted to use and the cupcakes had plenty of frosting.

[@sugarpop7377]

This is the easiest and best explained red velvet cupcake recipe that I have ever tried ...and I have tried several from different bakers here on you tube . No fail recipe for anyone that is wondering if to try his or others out there. 🤔

[@annalisaosei6047]

John Karnell uplifts me whenever I watch his videos because, he smiles when he talks and has such a positive outlook on life! He is very uplifting to watch especially during the tough times we all live under covid 19 lockdowns. He cheers me up and makes me smile anyway and ought to have his own TV cooking show, because he would be great to entertain all his fans. I am his biggest fan.

[@tabi1214]

I made them yesterday and they were okay but today they're amazing. Yesterday there was quite a bit dough on the paper when i unwrapped it and the flavour wasn't strong but today overnight it must have settled and they were just delicious. Thank you.

I’m so glad he said that he forgets sugar while making desserts. I did that yesterday making coconut rock buns and felt like a dope. Ended up with what I assume a scone would taste like
