All-time Favorite Brownies Recipe

There's nothing like a comforting dessert to cap every meal and you will never go wrong with these fudgy brownies.  Just bake and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!  Both kids and kids-at-heart will drool over these brownies.  I have made thousands of these, not only to serve to friends and relatives but even to sell as well!  It was a great Christmas giveaway.  A friend who bought boxes to give to her friends for Christmas actually received a special note from the recipient thanking her for the best brownies ever.  My friend was kind enough to inform me afterwards.  No doubt, it made my day.  It was a great start to celebrating the Christmas holidays.  I hope you experience the same with this recipe.  Enjoy!

FUDGY BROWNIES RECIPE

Cupcake Recipes: Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Cupcake Recipe: Red Velvet Cupcakes

The Red Velvet Cake or Cupcake is a cake with a dark red, bright red, or red-brown color.  Originally, the reddish brown color comes from the reaction of the chocolate to an acidic substance like buttermilk.  The cake is mostly chocolate flavored but it can also just be plain vanilla.  It is then topped with a white frosting that can either be a white Buttercream frosting or a Cream Cheese Frosting.  A Cream Cheese frosting is better suited since there is not much flavor in the cake itself.

The reference to the word "velvet" is to associate the cake with luxury and also to describe the cake's texture which is suppose to be smooth and silky just like the fabric.  In this recipe, the use of vegetable oil instead of butter makes this Red Velvet Cupcake recipe smooth and fluffy.  Get the recipe after the jump.
