Was so skeptical about this recipe, and couldn't believe someone who has her own shop would be so generous in sharing their recipe. But still, I went ahead with it. I have to say this is the best red velvet cupcake I've ever made or had!
rianzwong wow thanks! x
CupcakeJemma Hi jemma, just want to let you know everyone loved your red velvet recipe and I've made it 3 times over the weekend, even making it into a cake.. :)
instagram.com/p/wRSBpwIQXI/
rianzwong I was in Soho London last week and tasted it. Today I made it, and OMG it tasted the same. Jemma has my loyalty and respect forever - she's so genuine!
Her business probably depends on the fact that most people are too lazy to make it themselves lol
@@kittenbath6630 Doesn't ANY business?
this has been my comfort video for 5 years 😭
I made this shortly after the video came out and still to this day it is THE BEST red velvet cupcake recipe I've come across! I'm making it this Tuesday too~
@@deathdiablo22can we use salted butter instead of unsalted butter for the cupcake?
Not that I'm an expert but I do, and mine taste great to me... But I'm not a professional so..... 😅@@Dipsys12
Still the best recipe that I have found and used, 5 years later! Thank you Jemma x
People are red velvet cray cray!!! Great vid x
omg donal ! ilysm
Dude. I find you very hot.
Serapia Bonjour to far wow this is awkward just no just that just weird
Serapia Bonjour I do too.....:)
Serapia Bonjour meiqin?
I am blown away by the library of sprinkles sitting behind you!!! X_X its heaven for any baker!
Thank you for the recipe Jemma, did this for a coffee morning at work and everyone absolutely loved them. I reduced the icing sugar to 500 grams though, the cream cheese topping went slightly softer so I just put it in the fridge for a couple of hours and it worked a treat 😋.
I just watched this now and I am inlove with almost all of your baking. Thank you so much Jemma. I really wanted to go to a baking class but watching all your videos I feel like I'm in a class with a very effective teacher. Love! love ! love!
the reason why red velvet is red is because of a chemmical reaction of unprocessed natural cocoa to vinegar, since now a days this cocoa is practically imposible to get a hold of we add red food colour.
just a fun fact
ohh :o then why do they use cream cheese instead of something else?
No.. because the real red velvet uses Morello Cherry..
+abdulmoti diab she's actually right , and I don't think I have ever came acroos a red velvet recipe which uses morello cherry and I have seen many videos which actually say that cocoa powder and vinegar and also acidic ingredients like buttermilk react together to get the red colour
go and watch how to cook that recipe
+abdulmoti diab Lies
I made these for church two days ago and everyone loved it, thank you for sharing and being such an awesome teacher.
I have tried a couple of other red velvet cupcakes recipes before and while they've been OK they haven't wowed. Anyhow tried Jemma recipe today and they turned out really well, I'm thrilled. Thanks Jemma
Omg!!! Finally a red velvet cupcake recipe without oil 😍😍😍 I'm so exited to make these, thank you ❤
your energy is so positive and contagious!! love It!
I was in London this weekend and i went to the C&D shop; i ate this cupcake... Amazing!!!!!! ❤
I baked red velvet cupcakes for the first time after watching dozens of RUclips videos! I put in a bit too much batter in each dip, but they evened out really well and it tasted so good (without the frosting). I had to substitute a few ingredients like buttermilk and decreased the sugar in the frosting by 25%, they were the best cupcakes I’ve ever had. Thank you so much for this recipe ahhhh I can’t wait to bake some more of these
Absolutely bloody perfect! Supplying cupcakes for a wedding in November and every single recipe we’ve tried so far has been a total flop or completely underwhelming. You are a godsend!!!
Just made this recipe for my father’s birthday tomorrow. The red velvet cupcakes are delicious. I used ordinary vinegar instead. I also use an ice cream scoop for measuring. Just the icing to do. Love your channel. Cx
Thank you so very much Jemma !! Your chocolate cupcakes were just awesome
I made these cupcakes today and they turned out the best cupcakes I have ever made . They are soooo soft and have a lovely flavour
THank You, Jemma!! I'm lookong forward to making this for my loved ones! I already know they'll love it!
It's truly an AMAZING recipe ! Tried it myself and fell in love! Thank you 😊
Hi Jemma! Thank you soooooo much for all your wonderful videos. I plan to try some of your recipes very soon. I hope to also try some of your decorating tips as well. Please keep on posting these great videos and thanks again for sharing your beautiful talent weigh all of us!
I tried this recipe and it was perfect!! The cupcake was soft and fluffy and the cream cheese icing was perfect! It wasn't too sweet either! Thank you so much for this recipe. 😭❤️
I love your videos Jemma, thank you so much for being clear and sharing useful hints and tips.
This recipe is amazing. I tried it and my cupcakes turned out really well. Thank you.
I tried & loved this recipe! For anyone new to this video, she has an improved cream cheese frosting (with less icing sugar) if you think it's too sweet. Thank you, Jemma!
Where can I find it?
Where can I find it?
Mine were v tasty. But mine had a 'crispy' top with a dome. Wonder what happened? Couldn't fit 24 cupcakes on the centre shelf and adjusted shelf positions with a slightly lower temperature. Maybe thats what was wrong but they still tasted fab.
@@marymccormack8118 they were probably either too long in the oven or too close to the heat source and it got toasted :)
This recipe is absolutely perfect and delicious I have tried it many times at the cafe that I work at and I get many many compliments thank you!
I made this over the weekend and my friends loved it!!
The reason its red is because back in the day cocoa powder, more specifically the anthocyanins that were in it reacted to vinegar and buttermilk creating the velvet color.
Now a day anthocyanin has been replaced with different ingredients which no longer creates the reaction, thus enter food coloring.
Maybe you'll know the answer to this....is it bad for you to have a cake that has that much food colouring in?
Does too much food colouring give you cancer?
aimstheotter
This is a tricky question.
Simple answer, we can't say for sure.
First off there are 2 types of food colorings, All natural ones and Artificial ones.
The latter, containing chemical compounds, are used for a variety of mass produced processed food and has been up for debate for a quite some time.
All natural ones on the other hand use certain vegetables, fruits and other plants for the colors they naturally contain. (Beats = red) I would stick to them.
There has been some debates as to the chemicals used to extract the color,
and that some people that are super sensitive and have allergic reaction should talk with their doctors before diving head in....but I won't go into all that. Its gonna get waaayyy too long.
Continue reading for a bit more info.
There are conflicting reports on the safety of the chemicals used in Artificial food colorings. While the FDA says its safe the CPSI insists they aren't. Some test results point out children with ADHD might be better off avoiding them.
Where you live and how your local government regulates food safety might change how much you are actually consuming it.
For example, In the United States the strawberry sauce from McDonald's sundaes are made with Red 40 (Artificial Food Coloring), but in the United Kingdom, they use real strawberries.
You might want to check the labels or kindly ask the baker for some info.
April Renee
I don't think I'm qualified to give you a clear cut YES or NO answer.
Search "food coloring cpsi" and "food coloring fda" for more info. I guarantee you, its gonna be some time well spent.

Thanks :)
best UK dessert youtube channel! love this

Made these today! My husband and kids loved them!! Thanks for sharing :)
OMG these were SO delicious, at first i thought the cake needed more sugar, but once i added icing the flavors balanced SO well
6:10 - every single cupcake perfectly flat along the edge of the paper, after being scooped in by hand using 2 spoons. The experience of thousands of cup cakes shining through, hah. Neat.
I can't wait to see your version of puffy lemon pie with meringue topping !
A parisian fan of your sweet sweet work
omg, I feel I'm falling in love when watching Cream cheese icing part, Really LOVE red velvet cupcake!!~~
Can't wait to try this recipe! Thank you very much!
She's so pretty I swear

Hello! Your videos really inspire me to get into baking business, and I'm in love with the way you perform your recipes. You are so adorable! Thank you for sharing tips to us through these videos.

You are so funny, sweet and SO VERY talented! Thank you so much for showing us all your ideas!
I tried it they came out perfect 😍 thanks for sharing this recipe
Love all the sprinkles in the background! :)
I made these cupcakes yesterday and they were soo good! Mine and my boyfriend's fam really enjoyed them as well.
I ended up with 17 cupcakes (slightly bigger than the ones she makes in the video). I used 1/4 teaspoon of salt (vs 3/4 tsp) because my self rising flour had salt in it already but I think I could have gotten away with using a tad more (maybe just under 1/2 a tsp). I had super concentrated food colouring gel so I used about 1/4 tsp and the colour was beautiful.
For the icing, I used lightly more cream cheese and butter and about 600 grams of icing sugar, added a splash of vanilla and a pinch of salt, to make it more to my preference.
Best cupcakes ever! 🧁 Thanks for sharing this!
Made this today and have no regrets! Must try!
no matter how many years have passed that i still come back to this video every now and then
You've got a lot of toppings and decorations... WOW!!!😘😍
That's because, in this video, Jemma is working from her cupcake store, so they have all the decorations for the store. She films some videos from her own kitchen too.
you are amazing Jemma, and I love red velvet cake!!
omg just tried it and WOW so moist and fluffy and 😍😍😍😍
Thank you Jemmaaaa.. I made these using ur recipe and they were DELICIOUS! #familyapproved
Hi Jemma! I have made this a few times and it's such a good easy recipe :) AND i also adapted it to make a red velvet cake which works out really well, I just adjusted the cooking time :)
Love all your recipes!
Omg I was thinking of doing the same! Could you please tell me how much you increased the cooking time to? :)
Oh Gemma, you cakes never fail me…. My kitchen smells so good, and the cake is divine ~~~🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕
These cakes are superb!!!! Thank you sooo much!!!
OMG thank you thank you so so much really I try it and really is amazing result , and by a way you are so beautiful nature
just tried this and the cakes were AMAZING i couldn't stop eating them!!! super fluffy and also moist. didn't hv cider vinegar so i swapped out for some white wine vinegar n it was more than fine! only problem was that i overfilled the liners so most of the cakes overflowed.... but i had a lot of fun eating those extra bits :-D
so good it was! ty for this amazing recipe
Absolutely love Gemma.
Jemma! Please do a baking essentials/starter kit video 😊 x
Me and my 2 year old son made your Victoria sponge cake last week and now we've just made these, we used liquid red colouring so they arnt as colourful as yours but both cakes have come out amazing. Thank you Jemma 😀
Yan Vast hiya, I'm from London so I used a stores own brand of self raising flour, but if you only have plain flour add a tea spoon of self raising agent Or bicarbonate of soda. It does a similar thing :)
Thank you Jemma! ❤
I tried this! It’s amazing my gosh love you
I am going to make this to myself for being a Red Velvet stan for 3 years in August. I am just so proud of myself.
6:59 I definitely love this sound :D
Tried for the first time and it turned out Amazing!
those little hearts on top are everything 😍
Jemma, love everything you bake and you always keep it real! The measurement of salt that flashes on the screen when you say 3/4 tsp says 1/4. Just wanted you to know in case something can be done to fix it😊 Sending huge cupcake love to C&D peeps from the Great White North here in Canada! Big fan!!❤️
Omg I added 3/4 I can taste the salt defo only adding 1/4 next time its needs to be changed its confusing
i screamed at "840g of icing sugar"
me too 😣
ill half it for a nice, cheesy frosting...
Gravy Bomb did you already try?
yup.... it was very liquid... not whip cream texture... might as well, use a recipe made by yourself..
I used about 400g and the frosting came out delicious.
i made thesse cupcakes they were so light and fluffy!! im defiantly going to make them again.
The compliments I get for this Recepie JEMMA. OH MY GOD.
can i borrow your wall? i promise i will give it back to you as clean as possible ;)
Berlitz Joseph 😂😂😂😂
How can u take her wall just buy the items at the store
U dumbass
How can you take her wall
@@brendenbruce2357 hahha it's just a joke
Hi
Just made a batch of these and they were amazing. So fluffy and moist. Just used half of the sugar for the recipe. Made my own version of cream cheese icing with very little icing sugar compared to the recipe and they still turned out perfectly sweet. Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe :)
May I know what your recipe is for the cream cheese Icing because i feel like this will be too sweet for my taste 😀
@@romaleeamolic1381 Hi. Sorry I didn’t record the actual proportion of sugar added, maybe half of the sugar in the recipe if not wrong.
Everybody loves my red velvet cakes! Thank u so much😘😘😘
Thanks Jemma, just made these. They are beautiful. I however used a different icing requiring less confectionery sugar.
Thank you for this awesome recipe. You're so cute and cool!!!
I love watching your tutorial videos.
The sprinkle in the background 😍
😍😍😍😍
First of all on behalf of ALLLL Texans "We LOVE you Jemma and thank you for this recipe!!!!! It's absolutely FABULOUS!!
Thanks Jemma..love your video’s..love to try these..!! 💕
I've made these twice now and they do not disappoint. They're light as air, hella moist and delicious. I did notice that I had a LOT of icing left over after the first go around. The second time, I halved the cream cheese buttercream recipe and still had some left over so from now on I'll go with the 1/2 recipe on the frosting (or double the cupcakes)
do you know how to make 235g self raising flour?
@@ZarnabAhmed Hi, too make self raising flour, for 1 cup (125g) of flour put 1 teaspoon of baking powder. In this recipe, Jemma use 235g self raising flour, which is 2 cups flour (250g) minus 15g of cocoa powder. So, for 235g flour you can add 2 teaspoons of baking powder. I hope this help you.
I tried. The cupcakes taste amazing but the topping really sweet. I have to reduce the sugar more than half.
thembitch yeah I was skeptical about the amount she used as well so I did 2 cups instead of 3 cups of icing sugar & it came out perfectly.
thembitch that's a relief..
Same I used half
yes thats true because its very sweet and i put 500 grams of sugar in it
It'll depend on your cream cheese since it's mostly to make sure it's pipe-able, some are softer than others so it'll vary from place to place
Can't wait to made them.thank u.
Love your Sprinkle Cupboards ! Going to try these with Swiss Merangue Buttercream.

Best. Comment. EVER!!!!
Jeez! 840g sugar in icing! 840g! I use only 250g for my recipe of 24..
It depends on your cream cheese, in some places it has a lot more whey in it than in others so it just depends where you are 😊 where I live there's always at least half a cup of whey in my cream cheese that I pour out and even then it's way too soft so I need a crap ton of sugar to make it pipe-able, I usually add a little lemon juice to cut through the sweetness a bit
WOW thanks for sharing 💜
Can we use cream instead of cream cheese??
@@sadiatariq9583 nooo don't do that...it's not gonna come together and it will not be the same flavour
HOPE IT HELPS 😊
i love you sooooo much jemma,you are the best
Tried your recipe and it turned out amazing. By far the simplest way to get the perfect red velvet. Like many others I thought sugar for the icing for too much and used 220 grams and it was just right... thought the consistency was not right, I need some work on my icing :-) Thank you for a recipe that works !!
Hi Jemma I'm a 12 year old that loves to bake and I watch your videos EVERY day bye
Same
Can we make cake with the same recipe???
HaniAli yes you can, just in a different tin
made this yesterday! the cupcake itself is AMAZING. I only added about 300g of icing sugar for the frosting tho .... it was still quite sweet. idk how is it even possible to add in 840g of icing sugar to be honest
Did you follow the description down the video or the description in the video
María José Rico Marin Hi i followed the video description... its almost the same as the description below but i used 1/4 tsp of salt & 300g of icing sugar instead :)
@@suh5402 it depends on the icing sugar sometimes you use that can also make it sweeter and gritty. I began using silver spoon or Tate and lyle and sieving the sugar through once or twice helps with the grittiness and I’ve realised I don’t know how it’s not as sweet. Since I found this technique for 2/3 years my buttercreams and other frostings turn out fine. I also add a bit of salt. I guess it also depends on how much of a sweet tooth you have. As I also sell cakes and usually if I’m making buttercream the quantity is also double the butter. It can be a lot but with buttercream the double cream reduces the sweetnes too in my opinion I add more than other state to
This recipe is accurate. My red velvet cupcake turns out so yummy and fluffy! 💖
This recipe was so easy to follow and went down a treat 👌👌
First time making these. Came out amazingggg..Soft, fluffy, moist! I used red color gel, worked fine. I did not use her creamcheese frosting recipe used my own.
Do you know if I don't use eggs what's the substitute?
Ajita Nawathe She has a vegan recipe too.
Gemma! What do you think of using buttermilk in place of vinegar?
It's my favorite recipe!!! Thanks for share with us.
I tried this and it was soo good!!
I want to live in the sprinkle cupboard
all I'm thinking about when the video just started, OMG the sprinkles
