Red Velvet Cupcakes with Dark Chocolate Ganache

To be fairly honest, this recipe happened by mistake. My red velvet recipe has always worked and I have never had a need to change it. Then last month, I sat for my master’s exams, and got slightly disoriented while working on a cupcake order, I added double the amount of buttermilk that was required, and had a bit of a panic attack when I realised it. My first instinct was to redo the cupcakes when that batch comes out because no one wants a soggy cupcake.

When these babies came out of the oven, they were super moist and had risen oh so beautifully, that i couldn’t resist sharing them. This has now been my go to red velvet cupcake recipe and topping it with dark chocolate ganache brings in a whole new level of decadence that I am living for!!
