GF Red Velvet Cupcakes are the perfect valentine's day treat made even better with addictive about cream cheese frosting. This recipe is made even easier with Addi's Chocolate Cupcake & Cake Mix as a base.

ALL YOU'LL NEED:

Cake

• 1 box of Addi's Chocolate Cake Mix
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1 ounce bottle red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Frosting

• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
• 8 tablespoons butter, room temperature
• 2 cups confectioners sugar, sifted well
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

LET'S START BAKING!

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
   
   
2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, sour cream, water, oil, food coloring, eggs, cocoa and vanilla. Mix with an electric mixer on low for 1-2 minutes. Scrape sides, then mix again for 2-3 more minutes.
   
   
3. Spoon batter into 30 paper-lined muffin cups, filling each cup 2/3 full. Bake for about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
   
   
4. For the frosting, put cream cheese and butter in large bowl. Mix with electric mixer about 30-45 seconds.
   
   
5. Add confectioners sugar a little bit at a time, mix on low speed until sugar is totally blended. About 1-2 minutes. Add vanilla, mix on medium speed until fluffy. About 1-2 minutes more until smooth.
   
   
6. Once fully cooled, spread cupcake tops with frosting, cake crumbs and a macaroon for that extra special touch. Enjoy!
