Directions
Bobby Flay Throwdown Red Velvet Cupcakes and Cream Cheese Icing,I saw this recipe on the Food Network show Bobby Flay Throwdown. He challenged a lady who has a cupcake store. This is the recipe she uses and says she sells the most of. You want to make these huge. She makes them to feed 2 people. Opening them up and cutting them in half like a regular cake. The icing recipe makes alot,,,but plan to use a heaping scoop on top of the cupcake. Since you cut it in half and eat it with a fork every forkful can dip into the icing. I double the cocoa amount for more flavor. Also,,it calls for 2 tbs of red food coloring, it does make it very red,,but even 1 tbs will make it red enough.,Amazing,Mine came out super bright red I followed everything in the recipe using McCormick liquid food color and it was lacking that red velvet flavor I almost feel like there needed to be more coco powder in it and a little less food color second cupcakes in photo are carrot with a citrus orange cream cheese icing
