The next thing we need - the cake!

Red Velvet Cupcakes (not from scratch but they are "home made"!)

Buy a box of Duncan Hines red velvet cake mix. Mix all the wet ingredients listed on the back of the package together first, then add in the box of dry mix, 1/4 cup of extra cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, a dusting of instant espresso powder, some Hershey's chocolate syrup. (This is also way easier than having to buy a new bottle of red food coloring for each from-scratch batch!) Then bake the cupcakes, and test them AT LEAST 10 MINUTES before the suggested minimum time. Makes 24 cupcakes. Cool completely before filling and frosting.
