Bake #2: Jenny Bakes Red Velvet Cupcakes

I've been hooked on Red Velvet Cake for quite a while now. A Southern delicacy, its exact history remains a mystery but the cake has regained much popularity since it was featured in the 1989 movie Steel Magnolias. Moist and chocolaty yet carries a distinctive flavor unlike any other chocolate cakes, this decadent dessert is heavenly when paired with cream-cheese frosting. I love its sensual reddish hue, which definitely sets the mood for a romantic celebration. But really, it's a tad difficult to be romantic when you're busy gorging yourself with this oh-so addictive cake. Those who taste it for the first time may find the vinegar aftertones slightly strange but this is what sets the Red Velvet apart from a regular Chocolate cake, and oh, yes, that made-in-heaven pairing with cream cheese frosting. Definitely! Tina has yet to get addicted but I know she will one day!
