Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/355°F.
  • Combine cream, water and 1 tsp vinegar in a jug or similar.
  • Combine almond meal, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt in a bowl and set aside.
  • Cream together butter, sweetener and vanilla in a large bowl.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. I highly recommend using a stick mixer to emulsify your ingredients or the mix can split.
  • Add cream/water mix, remaining vinegar, red food colouring and combine.
  • Add in your dry ingredients you combined earlier and mix with a stick mixer or similar to create a smooth and fluffy batter.
  • Line a 12 cup muffin/cupcake pan with patty pans/cupcake papers.
  • Divide batter between patty pans and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove and tent with foil to prevent the color on top darkening and bake another 10 minutes.
  • Remove foil and leave in the muffin pan until completely cooled.
  • Place softened butter in a bowl and beat until pale and creamy, scraping down the sides occasionally.
  • Add in softened cream cheese and beat together until combined and fluffy.
  • Add in powdered sweetener, beat to combine.
  • Pipe or spread frosting on top of red velvet cupcakes.
