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!
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!
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~
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 😋.
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
+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
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
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!
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.
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
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
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'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)
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
Hii cupcake jemma... This is very special thankyou message for you.. I have been seeing many videos of cakes, cupcakes when I was as a learner and one fine day I found your video of basic vanilla cupcake and followed same because vif your confidence in teaching and about ingredients from your video, and it was an hit receipe and now in Singapore and many people are appreciating the cupcakes, you are my saviour, my best teacher in baking industry, I used to thank you Everytime I learn from your new videos... seriously a customer asked me redvelvet cake and i haven't done it before but I agreed to customer that I will make a cake and directly searched your video for redvelvet receipe and i did as you shown in video, thank you Soo much it came Soo nice and moist, fresh, spongy, perfect red color and am very very Happy, I salute you from here Singapore...
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 :)
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 :)
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!
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
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
Omg i couldn't even believe that it was almost 7 years ago! I've been watching this since when i was 7 yrs old and now im a teen. What a masterpiece video!♡
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!!❤️
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 !!
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. 😭❤️
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.
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!
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
Hi Jemma, I have tried so many red velvet cupcake recipes but thi recipe is by far the best .. with this recipe, i did blue, pink, purple and green relvet cupcakes. 😄😄 kids loves it. Lots of love from Singapore🇸🇬
I just made these today, and I can say they are the most delicious red velvet cupcakes I have ever made. The frosting came out a little thick but I added a tablespoon of milk and it was just right.
@@YabaiUki they were very light and fluffy. I tried to mix the batter as little as I could and rushed while filling the cups. Once all the ingredients were mixed I didn't waste any time.
I've made this, and it's delicious! Fluffy a bit, not to dense. But I reduce the sugar and used only 215 gram (I always reduce the sugar when I want to top with icing. Don't fancy too sweets). I can't fill 3/4 in cup, it will rise too high tho. So I've to reduce the batter a bit - not a problem. This taste amazing. Thank you Jemma! The basic icing is good. But I can't put all of the icing sugar, it's already too sweet for me when I just only put 250 gram. Although I didn't get that right consistency - can hold on the shape thang -, but I'm just afraid to add up more icing sugar on it. It's kind of dilemma, either beauty first or the taste first lol
Actually you can store it in refrigerator. You just have to let it sit in the room temperature about 10 minutes before serve :) If you want to store it outside, make sure it is covered (both with icing or without). And mine without icing can last at room temperature about 2 days after making (I put the icing later when i want to eat - the icing i store in refrigerator). Hope this helps ;)
Tried this out with your updated version of the cream cheese frosting and it turned out perfect!! Icing wasn't too sweet and the cake was really moist! Had so many amazing feedbacks👍👍 thank you so much for the recipe!!!💖
I made 48 cupcakes which i doubled the recipe given. They turned out supeeer amazing. Theyre light and fluffy and taste way better than the ones Ive baked using other recipes. 100% recommend you to try this one!
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.
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
I made these today, so delicious and so so fluffy. The creme cheese frosting I just add sugar to taste. I never really measure the sugar because I have tried in the past and it’s been to sweet for my family and I. Thank you so much we have enjoyed this so much.
I made two changes to the cakes. Used 3 Tbsp of whole milk with 1/2 tsp of apple cider vinegar to curdle for 5-10 minutes and then added 1/2 C of sour cream. Oh, on the food color I used about 1/2 tsp of Red Red gel color plus a couple of drops of black gel color (go easy on the black if you do this; just add one drop at a time until you get a nice deep red). I just prefer the dark red over the nuclear neon red some recipes produce. Haven't frosted them yet; will do that just before I get them ready to deliver. I baked at 345° Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Tried one of the cakes after cooling them off and the cake is DELICIOUS; light and fluffy and moist! Don't know how they would have turned out without the 1/2 C of sour cream; that's just one of my go-to tricks I went to when I saw there was no call for any vegetable oil in this recipe (which I appreciated actually). The recipe yielded 17 cupcakes for me, one of which is now in my tummy! :-)
Jemma jus a quick question I noticed u normally mix all your ingredients together. There's no creaming of butter and sugar. Does it make any difference as I'm so afraid of over mixing thanks!!
There is a video out there of her in which she said in cupcakes she didn't want to over mix the batter so that it will not become airy. She just throw all ingredients and mix but its perfect I have tried her some recipe they are great.
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!!!
Hi, I really love your video and your cakes are amazing! I wanted to ask about this recipe if it is a problem to mix the ingredients without "K" shape mixer? I have only the common one, but i'm afraid that it could generate too much air inside the dough, I don't know.. What do you advice to me? Thank you so much in advance
CupcakeJemma yes, I meant the hand mixer, I didn't know how it was called in english, in Italy it has different names. XD many thanks, I look forward to try to make this lovely cupcakes :)
+CupcakeJemma This simply goregous, I love how you execute the steps of each ingredient flawlessly. You make it look so effortless and easy, i just had to subscribe do to the amount of love i had for your videos. Anywho, i was thinking about starting an online cupcake service and i was wondering if you can share some tips and ideas as to: 1. How did you start and what was your inspiration? 2. What was your goal making cupcakes? 3. How to have fun while running a business? P.S. Is it possible that you can make a lavander chai cupcake or mango cupcakes,just for fun thankyou.
Hi Gemma, there's no buttermilk here in my country, and I have tried to make my own (milk + vinegar) but then I would have to make a lot and it's just going to waste. Can I use just regular milk?
You can make a small amount of pretend buttermilk. When I run out of buttermilk and the shops are shut, I just squirt some fresh lemon juice into the same volume of milk that I need and leave it for 20 minutes. It works fine!
How do your cupcakes always come out of the oven with a flat top? Mine always end up rising in the middle and ending up with one big lump on the top :( x
i live in mexico and self raising flour is impossible to find, what do you suggest in terms of adding baking powder??? also how do you get your cupcakes not to raise like a cone head in the middle???
use normal flour + baking powder if you don't want the cakes to raise too much, you shouldn't put too much baking powder, and don't fill them too much, 2 thirds is enough. If they still raise too much in the oven, press gently on them with the back of a spoon or a palette knife while they're still in the oven and almost cooked. Or, you know, just go ahead and cut a bit of the top when they're completely cool!
Wow, has it been 7 years already? This is the first vid I've watched in your channel and I came back today because I now have my own oven to try and test. Good times.
Hi! I wanted to ask how you get your cakes to be so flat and even? Mine always rise quite edgy, like little mountains, and because of that, I can never get the icing on top to be completely smooth.
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

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
Yes but might want to skip the 1/4tsp salt depending on how salty your butter contains. (I add a small pinch)

No.. because the real red velvet uses Morello Cherry..

I just made these today, and I can say they are the most delicious red velvet cupcakes I have ever made. The frosting came out a little thick but I added a tablespoon of milk and it was just right.
Were they like dense and a bit heavy in weight when baked.... or was it extremely light that it doesn't weight at all??
@@YabaiUki they were very light and fluffy. I tried to mix the batter as little as I could and rushed while filling the cups. Once all the ingredients were mixed I didn't waste any time.
Hi I wanted to know how sweet the frosting is coz I can’t handle overly sweet stuff, judging her recipe she use a lot of sugar
Jemma! Please do a baking essentials/starter kit video 😊 x
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
I've made this, and it's delicious! Fluffy a bit, not to dense. But I reduce the sugar and used only 215 gram (I always reduce the sugar when I want to top with icing. Don't fancy too sweets). I can't fill 3/4 in cup, it will rise too high tho. So I've to reduce the batter a bit - not a problem. This taste amazing. Thank you Jemma! The basic icing is good. But I can't put all of the icing sugar, it's already too sweet for me when I just only put 250 gram. Although I didn't get that right consistency - can hold on the shape thang -, but I'm just afraid to add up more icing sugar on it. It's kind of dilemma, either beauty first or the taste first lol
Actually you can store it in refrigerator. You just have to let it sit in the room temperature about 10 minutes before serve :) If you want to store it outside, make sure it is covered (both with icing or without). And mine without icing can last at room temperature about 2 days after making (I put the icing later when i want to eat - the icing i store in refrigerator). Hope this helps ;)
First of all on behalf of ALLLL Texans "We LOVE you Jemma and thank you for this recipe!!!!! It's absolutely FABULOUS!!
Tried this out with your updated version of the cream cheese frosting and it turned out perfect!! Icing wasn't too sweet and the cake was really moist! Had so many amazing feedbacks👍👍 thank you so much for the recipe!!!💖
The best red velvet cupcakes I've ever made!
Thank you for sharing your recipe 😘
This recipe is amazing. I tried it and my cupcakes turned out really well. Thank 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
I made 48 cupcakes which i doubled the recipe given. They turned out supeeer amazing. Theyre light and fluffy and taste way better than the ones Ive baked using other recipes. 100% recommend you to try this one!
THank You, Jemma!! I'm lookong forward to making this for my loved ones! I already know they'll love it!
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.
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 can't wait to see your version of puffy lemon pie with meringue topping !
A parisian fan of your sweet sweet work
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’m still watching this after 10 years… best recipe ever
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.
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 😊
Thank you Jemmaaaa.. I made these using ur recipe and they were DELICIOUS! #familyapproved
I made these today, so delicious and so so fluffy. The creme cheese frosting I just add sugar to taste. I never really measure the sugar because I have tried in the past and it’s been to sweet for my family and I. Thank you so much we have enjoyed this so much.
Made these today! My husband and kids loved them!! Thanks for sharing :)

Gemma! What do you think of using buttermilk in place of vinegar?
I made two changes to the cakes. Used 3 Tbsp of whole milk with 1/2 tsp of apple cider vinegar to curdle for 5-10 minutes and then added 1/2 C of sour cream. Oh, on the food color I used about 1/2 tsp of Red Red gel color plus a couple of drops of black gel color (go easy on the black if you do this; just add one drop at a time until you get a nice deep red). I just prefer the dark red over the nuclear neon red some recipes produce. Haven't frosted them yet; will do that just before I get them ready to deliver. I baked at 345° Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Tried one of the cakes after cooling them off and the cake is DELICIOUS; light and fluffy and moist! Don't know how they would have turned out without the 1/2 C of sour cream; that's just one of my go-to tricks I went to when I saw there was no call for any vegetable oil in this recipe (which I appreciated actually).
The recipe yielded 17 cupcakes for me, one of which is now in my tummy! :-)
omg just tried it and WOW so moist and fluffy and 😍😍😍😍
all I'm thinking about when the video just started, OMG the sprinkles
Y a s s s s
Jemma jus a quick question I noticed u normally mix all your ingredients together. There's no creaming of butter and sugar. Does it make any difference as I'm so afraid of over mixing thanks!!
Have you tried to do it this way?
There is a video out there of her in which she said in cupcakes she didn't want to over mix the batter so that it will not become airy. She just throw all ingredients and mix but its perfect I have tried her some recipe they are great.
@@reddraws7551 it turns out fluffy i love mixing everything
The sprinkle in the background 😍
😍😍😍😍
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!!!
omg, I feel I'm falling in love when watching Cream cheese icing part, Really LOVE red velvet cupcake!!~~
6:59 I definitely love this sound :D
Hi, I really love your video and your cakes are amazing!
I wanted to ask about this recipe if it is a problem to mix the ingredients without "K" shape mixer? I have only the common one, but i'm afraid that it could generate too much air inside the dough, I don't know.. What do you advice to me?
Thank you so much in advance
***** If you mean a hand mixer with the two beating things which stick in to the machine then it's absolutely fine to use this!
CupcakeJemma yes, I meant the hand mixer, I didn't know how it was called in english, in Italy it has different names. XD many thanks, I look forward to try to make this lovely cupcakes :)
+CupcakeJemma This simply goregous, I love how you execute the steps of each ingredient flawlessly. You make it look so effortless and easy, i just had to subscribe do to the amount of love i had for your videos. Anywho, i was thinking about starting an online cupcake service and i was wondering if you can share some tips and ideas as to:
1. How did you start and what was your inspiration?
2. What was your goal making cupcakes?
3. How to have fun while running a business?
P.S. Is it possible that you can make a lavander chai cupcake or mango cupcakes,just for fun thankyou.
Lmao dough ? It's a cupcake not a cookie
It's called a stand mixer
Hi Gemma, there's no buttermilk here in my country, and I have tried to make my own (milk + vinegar) but then I would have to make a lot and it's just going to waste. Can I use just regular milk?
You can make a small amount of pretend buttermilk. When I run out of buttermilk and the shops are shut, I just squirt some fresh lemon juice into the same volume of milk that I need and leave it for 20 minutes. It works fine!
So 3 tbsp of buttermilk = 3 tbsp of milk + about 1-2 tsp of lemon juice and leave it for 20 minutes?
Sasha Nandini Sasmaya i guess 3 tbls milk + 0.5 tsp lemon will be fine 😊

I guess I'm a little late to the party haha. I made this the other day and it was great. Everyone loved it... thank you for sharing this! :)
Oh Gemma, you cakes never fail me…. My kitchen smells so good, and the cake is divine ~~~🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕
I hope she makes a video talking about what inspired her to get her tattoos. I love girls with tattoos.
How do your cupcakes always come out of the oven with a flat top? Mine always end up rising in the middle and ending up with one big lump on the top :( x
i live in mexico and self raising flour is impossible to find, what do you suggest in terms of adding baking powder??? also how do you get your cupcakes not to raise like a cone head in the middle???
use normal flour + baking powder
if you don't want the cakes to raise too much, you shouldn't put too much baking powder, and don't fill them too much, 2 thirds is enough. If they still raise too much in the oven, press gently on them with the back of a spoon or a palette knife while they're still in the oven and almost cooked. Or, you know, just go ahead and cut a bit of the top when they're completely cool!
you don't have harina con polvos de hornear? :o
thanks guys. no unfortunately i haven't found such a flour Rocio
Erouda Iyer solo ponle una cucharada y media de royal 😊 entiendo tu pena jajaja
Thanks Jemma! I'm addicted to your videos. Literally. I'm going to try this recipe soon!
I love your videos Jemma, thank you so much for being clear and sharing useful hints and tips.
2024 STILL WATCHING THESE
"If its too lose just add more icing sugar"🤣🤣🤣 Madam, I think we have enough, usual with 200 g its enough
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
Best red velvet recipe EVER. You heard it here!!!
Wow, has it been 7 years already? This is the first vid I've watched in your channel and I came back today because I now have my own oven to try and test. Good times.
I made these that are so yummy but I did not have any red colouring so I used blue any I made blue velvet cup cakes LOL !!!
Can u put cream cheese icing on chocolate cupcakes????♥️
Yuritzi Reyes yes
Yuritzi Reyes whether you are beautiful beautiful
Hi! I wanted to ask how you get your cakes to be so flat and even? Mine always rise quite edgy, like little mountains, and because of that, I can never get the icing on top to be completely smooth.
Iva Božić I just cut off any dome to make it flatter, the frosting will hide it.
A even and correct temperature. Many ovens don't do this as well.
Tried this recipe today and it's the best red velvet sponge I've ever eaten 😭😭😭😭😍😍😍
Hi Geema, I tried this cupcake recipe to make a cake. It came out really tasty. Only used 150g caster sugar in cake and 300g icing sugar
In video it is said 1/4 tsp salt but in description it is mentioned 3/4 tsp salt? Which is ✅correct?
Have you made an Black Forrest cup cake yet?
in the video you have 1/4 tsp of salt ? but say 3/4 tsp ??
lishieandfamily Check the description because the correct recipe is there but basically you have to use 3/4 tsp of salt
lishieandf
Uh oh!
I put 1/4
