RED VELVET CUPCAKES - The Scran Line

[@__-dc9ig]

I wanted to say a big thank you Nick for the recipe, I used it recently for a charity whose logo is red, it raised quite a lot for the charity all thanks to your genuine advice, one of the people who donated said it was the best cupcake they ever tasted-result!

[@hayleykwan09]

This is by far the best red velvet recipe of all time. I paired it with the cream cheese frosting, which is also the best of all time. The balance is perfect. Thank you!

[@youtubeaccount1892]

Watching you frost is extremley satifying to watch :))

[@thescranline]

haha thanks!

[@khanhngoctran6665]

[@mama.bear.06]

I was not expecting you to use the whole of the food colouring😐😐 took me a bit by surprise😂

[@kree7313]

Bobbie Bee Yeah he has too to make it more red-ish but it was funny 😂

[@phoenachirachanakul4714]

Bobbie Bee, I know, right?

[@anjalisaroya5120]

Bobbie Bee lmao me too!😂😂😂

[@toshiyukisuzuki7610]

I have a feeling you guys make really pale red velvet cakes or perhaps you have not made one yet. give it a try. I also think this recipe is badass. go on!

[@emily444l]

Bobbie Bee me too

[@rikkeenora]

Made these earlier today and they came out amazingly!! Tried to make red velvet 3 times and it always tasted like food dye or was just bad. Also your recipe on cream cheese holds it self perfectly!! Thanx for the really great recipe Nick 😊

[@kt-nv1lb]

Just made this! And i'm speechless this is like the BEST red velvet recipe i have ever tasted even my family and visitors loved it. Thank you so much for the recipe. I have been searching and tried several recipes but this is lime the ULTIMATE. DEFINITELY THE QUEEN OF CUPCAKES👑👑👑👑👑🙈😋😋😋

[@thescranline]

+KT Amon I'm not even gonna pretend that I don't agree, it is the best red velvet recipe ever lol. Thanks for the feedback! x

[@linh1098]

I make this recipe many times and it comes out perfectly every time. Taste amazing, moist!! Thank youuuu nickkkkk

[@thescranline]

Thanks Linh! x

[@tomatobash2000]

I don’t have anything to ask you, all I wanted to say is I came about your videos a few days ago and I friggin love you! Your technique is FLAWLESS. your recipes are fresh and well balanced, and trust me honey, you’re definitely my cupcake idol!!

[@thescranline]

Thankyou so much for taking the time to write such a lovely comment :0) x

[@Sappaya]

This recipe gives you moist and shiny cupcake, also easy to make. I've tried using only bottom heat on my small oven, came out without cracked tops. Thanks for the recipe.

[@noopurjoshi20]

I just recently subscribed to your channel, and I am so glad I did! This was the first recipe I tried from your website and they've turned out amazing :) I actually divided the recipe by four to make a batch of 6 cupcakes as I have a smaller oven. loved the addition of milk powder to the frosting, they are much better consistency and look great after piping. Will try more recipes now.

[@thescranline]

+Noopur Kawathekar yay! Thanks for sharing that! These are my fave cupcakes so I'm glad you liked them!

[@GullKhana]

Hey I just wanted to ask.. can I have the recipe you used to make a smaller batch of cupcakes coz I don't want to make a bigger batch and waste ingredients.

[@noopurjoshi20]

+Samia Gull I divided the recipe by 4 and made 6 cupcakes, it was just slightly more, which I put in a single silicon mould and baked that too :D

[@georgeparemo7250]

OMG! Tried your recipe and the kids loved it better then another one i tried that didn't work out. Best red velvet recipe i haved tried!

[@sarahapel9]

Made this recipe today! Great taste and made exactly 24 as recipe said! Baked mine at 320°F and they were done in only 17 minutes! Thanks!

[@asit1]

Nick you're just fantastic. Tried these and it turned out beautiful in taste and texture except for one thing, I dislike ever so slightly the flavour of oil and I just love the flavour of butter. So question for you would be, why oil? Why not butter? Can one use clarified butter as a compromise?

[@goddaholic]

This looks delish, can't wait to try your recipe!! :) Just a question: why did you use a rose pink food coloring instead of red? Is that better to use? Because I noticed that no matter what brand of red food coloring I use, my red velvet always turns up maroon or brown. Do you recommend this color for red velvet?

[@Shaima7717]

I hate the fact that you dont have so many subscribers! Such a great channel nd amazing recipes! Keep on going! Love from UAE, Shaima

[@thescranline]

Hey Shaima! Haha, I'm working hard to change that :0) I want to visit the UAE, looks like a wonderful country! It's on my list of places to visit! :0) thanks so much for watching :0) Nick :0) x

[@heartylara7843]

Thank u for all the recipe you share Nick its so nice and colorful and amazing! Now i planned to make a business a home self study and your style and presentation makes me interesting to make. I wish i will be successful in baking.🎂🧁🧁🧁🙏🙏🙏

[@ronnyyen4521]

I have tried a lot of red velvet recipes and haven't really found the 'one', I'll be sure to give your recipe a go tomorrow. I've just found out about your Channel when searching for caramel brownies and your channel is ACE, very well produced. I'll definitely recommend your channel to my friends and family. Thanks for sharing your recipes.

[@thescranline]

Ron Afro Thanks for the kind words Ron! :0) Cheers, Nick xo

[@sterrevangennep]

did he just put the whole bottle of food coloring in the cupcakes? really like his vids btw

[@clinhhh6436]

Sterre van Gennep that’s what it takes to get the vibrant red color

[@SN_1561]

No it doesn’t if you use paste you can use a teaspoon and it will have the same effect

[@mrtigerballs7878]

you are a great cook. I'm using your recipe for my school project. I tried it at home also and it worked great and tasted amazing

[@nayaerfe9051]

Yes ! The old time favorite !! Thank you for doing this ! I had a red velvet cupcake when I went on vacation but it was so dry ! And the icing was terrible! But I know just by looking at yours that it's super moist ! I will make these definitely !

[@thescranline]

Thanks Naya! Yeah I had the same experience more than once on my trip. I was disappointed. But this recipe is yummy! Yay! Let me now how they go :0) cheers, Nick

[@shanlim-acebes2083]

This recipe is just awesome!However,I noticed that he didn't use apple cider vinegar or white vinegar?Excluding vinegar doesn't change anything when it comes to the taste or moistness? Thank you!Looking forward to try this tom.

[@mariatheresaquindo4990]

You are a joy to watch. Happy baking! 🎂🍰🍪

[@deirdreblignaut7390]

Love and hugs from South Africa, Nick! Your presentations are great and you are a true artist xxx

[@suebulles6802]

Looks really really delicious. I've been craving for this for the past 5 days and still didn't get any. This video made my mouth water :)

[@amie677]

Look amazing, will definitely be trying this

[@thescranline]

Yay! Let me know how you go :) xo

[@itsyoanita]

love your recipe so much! it's the perfect texture and tastes amazing. thank you for sharing ❤

[@buckybarnes2026]

Hi Nick ! I'm making the cupcakes right now and there are some contradictions in the recipe: do i cook them for 30 minutes or 20 ? Also, the recipe for the frosting is for 12 cupcakes, and the recipe for the cupcakes is for 24, which kinda messed up my thing because i couldn't buy more than 250g of philadelphia. This is the third recipe I'm trying and they always turn out great, keep up the good work !

[@thescranline]

+Bucky Barnes it depends on your oven. Mine bake for 30 min. Will fix that in the recipe. You can make the frosting stretch to frost 24 if you don't first as high as I do.

[@buckybarnes2026]

thank you very much! that's what I did and they turned out pretty good :)

[@torigadney1912]

So I've used this recipe many times and I absolutely love it! I have a question, is this recipe easily converted to baking a cake? And if not, could you please make a video on a red velvet cake!

[@nicolebradley1097]

HEY NICK!!!!! I’m new to your channel, and I love every last single recipe 😋😋😋 I have one question...if I use food coloring gel, will that change the consistency much?? Thanks for posting such delicious delectables! Nic

[@meganblaisdell8513]

If I wanted to bake this as a cake, would I need to do anything different in regards to batter? Thanks in advanced! I love your channel!

[@daniellagp1693]

Hi Nick!! I want to make these red velvet cupcakes but I have the food colouring in paste, I don't know if that can cause less moisture in the final cupcakes. Should I use more buttermilk to supply those 50 ml of liquid food coloring you used?? Plss help!! Ps: YOUR RECIPES ARE AMAZING!!!!!

[@bknightify]

I agree ...buttermilk homemade and oil ...is the best recipe - New Subbie

[@bebo6667]

Just made the cupcake...they are super delicious and moist... Thanks alot for the full prove recipe... :) Can you just telme why only the base of my cupcakes is slight brown? Like it feels the cocoa powder settled in the bottom? Thank you

[@emily444l]

Noor Danish did you convert the recipe?

[@Nettkin]

Hi Nick just wanted to let you know I made a vegan version of this recipe using soy milk and flax egg substitutes.. and vegan margarine and Toffuti cream cheese for the frosting. They worked out and tasted great! Vegan red velvet perfection :)

[@sofiatomasello3413]

o loooove these cupcackes they are really good and amazingly easy to do!

[@sneezinboca3946]

watching your videos make me so happy I can't wait to try this recipe red velvet is one of my favorite cupcakes and you seem like a rlly nice and genuine person and I'm rlly glad I subbed to this channel:]

[@yoyomax12]

LOVE your video making style. Why don't you have more subscribers? So happy I sat behind you at the panel at vidcon and had a chance to meet you. Looking forward to more.

[@thescranline]

yoyomax12 - the diet free zone Ok, first of all I'm literally dying right now. I'm dead lol. As soon as I read your lovely message I called my mum. I was thrilled to get to meet you at Vidicon! And thanks so much for the kind words! I'm working hard on growing my channels community, unfortunately I don't know how to do it other than create videos I love and I think people will love. I'm doing all the other stuff like tags, and sharing on social media etc. I'm so thrilled you watched my videos, you have no idea, you're like a rock star to me haha. Nick xo PS. I was a little bummed I didn't get a photo with you. I'm hoping to get to Vidicon again next year, if you're there it's the first thing on my to-do list ;)

[@CookingAndCrafting]

[@fayewayson3827]

You deserve more subscribers

[@radgielhaorea1750]

your cupcake is so good and it's so easy, I have a few questions what if I don't have a buttermilk what kind of milk could I use? and why don't you use a vinegar while some did. thanks

[@leena3504]

Hi Nick! Can i make the cream cheese frosting a day in advance and then bake the cupcakes on the following day? Will the results be the same?

[@d.denissemm]

Hi, Nick! Question, can I double the recipe without a problem or should I change something to make twice as many cupcakes? I'm making these for Christmas, but I'll have lots of guests, and one batch won't be enough lol. Thanks :)

[@thescranline]

Hey Denise! I can't say for sure because I've never tried but I don't see a problem with it. I'd judt recommend having a nicer big enough to do it :) x

[@JaniahDay]

finally a red velvet recipe with metric measurements I can use. Thanks

[@ohjascha6588]

Hi Nick! I just wanna ask how many cupcakes does this recipe make? Thank you! Your vids are awesome! You totally deserve way more subscriber than you have!

[@thescranline]

+XxjaschaxX Hey there! This recipe makes around 20 cupcakes from memory :0) x

[@hystericalriot]

Dying to try this recipe :) I don't know why my swirl doesn't look like yours, ever... I use the 1M tip too but your frosting looks a little bit more ruffly and pretty.

[@biscottyreposteriafina2084]

Hi!! I love your recipes, but i want to know if i can use this recipe for a red velvet cake or i have to make some modifications? Thanks!!

[@naritta6636]

Hi! I love your recipes! Subscribed! And btw can I not use a mixer? Because I don't have one. Thanks!

[@thescranline]

+Velvet Target You may use a hand mixer, otherwise you can do it by hand using a whisk, but I've never tried doing it by hand. Let me know how it goes! :0) x

[@SamAlex-xe7so]

I have a question. You used all the food colouring to make it red would the cake taste weird because of all the food colouring? Just wondering love your channel

[@claudiensporkslede3730]

You give me so much inspiration! I really love your videos

There is nothing better than presenting lovely cupcakes to friends :) I'm glad Tammy made her way over. I am so happy you were dying hahahaha Not in that way, but you know what I mean. I think that you are not going to have a hard time growing your channel. You are the total package.

[@colormecarine2498]

Nick, I have a question, if I were aiming to make a royal/navy blue version of this cake (like a dark blue not the typical teal color that they usually come out) how much food coloring would I need for this batch

[@fleurfernandez]

That icing looks divine!

[@thescranline]

[@ervynaasalimukaa854]

Hi. May i know, will the cream cheese frosting melt when its outside for a while?

A question instead of the red dye can I put beet droplets on it?

[@bushrahanif4302]

hi can we make this as a cake? will it hold up under fondant?

[@frazzemozz8100]

Hello Nick! Wanna ask you.. what is the alternative or substitute to vanilla extract? Looking forward to your reply! Cant wait to try ur recipe this weekend

[@thescranline]

vanilla essence, or vanilla bean paste :0)

[@frazzemozz8100]

+The Scran Line Alright, noted. Thanks!! :)

[@moukanism]

Hi Nick, It's hard to find buttermilk in my country. Can I use other ingredients instead of it?

[@lilo7890]

Hi Nick! I have a question, what's the difference between creaming together butter and sugar, and crumbling the butter with the dry ingredients? I noticed some cupcake recipse use the creaming method. I'm awfully confused why though haha.

[@awefffffff]

Creaming butter and sugar does two things: incorporate air and dissolve sugar. Rubbing the butter into the dry ingredients coats the butter with the flour.

[@dreamer0georgi]

Hey Nick, I love your videos so far, but can you give us more info about measurements? Like the direct link to the recipe for cupcakes and for the butter cream? It's easier than just looking through the entire website :). I mean your recipe is on the first page now, but in a couple of weeks/months it won't be and it will be much more difficult to find it. Good luck with everything.

[@thescranline]

Hi Georgi (hope that's your name!) I really appreciate your feedback. I've been receiving similar messages over the past week as more and more people discover my channel. A lot of people have been having similar problems finding the recipes to my videos. After receiving your message this morning, I decided to spend the day reorganising the recipe section on my website. All of my recipes have now been put into categories and in alphabetical order to make it easier to find them. I've also gone through all of my videos on KZbin and included a direct link to the recipe in the description box to make it easier and quicker to find the recipe once you've finished watching the video. I hope this helps. Please feel free to take a look at the changes I've made on the website and give me any feedback you have. It would help me out a lot! Cheers, Nick xo

[@Gulshens]

Hi nick, Red/Pink velvets look great! Quick q, your granulated Sugar is in grams, do U have a caster sugar conversion? Thanks :)

[@thescranline]

Thanks! My apologies it's actually castor sugar not granulated sugar. Will change that right away :0) N

[@HumeraAmla]

Hey, can you use butter instead of oil in the recipe? Also what difference does it make if you use oil or butter in the batter? Thanks! btw you videos are amazing and can't wait to make some of these recipes!

[@salmajarrar5644]

Butter in cakes or cupcakes makes the batter go dense , or heavy.. If u refrigerate cupcakes with butter inside of them you'll notice they'll harden when you're ready to eat them,, because the butter in the batter is back to its block form.. However oil gives the batter a moist , fluffy texture to cakes , and doesn't make them dense.. Im sorry but u cannot replace butter with oil or vice versa ... Simply because oil is unsaturated fats and butter is saturated , hope this helps! :)

[@HumeraAmla]

I asked because some cake recipes call for oil instead of butter so I just wanted to know why. Thank you so much! :)

[@draytonwifecooks]

+Humera Amla Butter gives a better flavor! Never put cakes in the fridge. It can dry out. It doesn't really make the cake dense. Oil does make for a more moist cake but butter adds a better flavor. You just have to decide which you like better.. ;)

[@HumeraAmla]

Hey! thanks! just one more question. lets say a recipe calls for 1/2 a cup of butter, can you sub that for 1/2 a cup of oil or not because the solid amount is different from the liquid amount?

[@draytonwifecooks]

Humera Amla Yes! You can sub the same amounts.....just soften butter to room temp. 😊

[@MrsLPerez]

I really like your mixing method.

[@sandidranchak403]

I've never been a fan of red velvet because to me it has no taste; that being said, what is it exactly supposed to taste like? Love your work and watching you on KZbin!

[@supriyalal]

Wow...you gave the best red velvet recipe I ever found! Thanks! obviously ...subscribed you...YAY! Glad

[@Noname-lk5qb]

He is very generous with the buttercream.. but I'm just surprised with 1 bottle of food colouring.. is it bcoz he is using rose pink?.. the more u put the more darker the result?

[@yasminchan9223]

[@madiiing]

what can i use as a substitute for buttermilk? :) love this recipe!

[@thescranline]

In my experience nothing. I've tried making my own buttermilk using a tap of vinegar or lemon juice per 250ml cup of milk but they just don't come out as moist. You'd could substitute it with milk or home made buttermilk. :0)

[@rashasamir2468]

If you are making a layer cake would you use same recipe or change it to butter oil combination
