Becca A's Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting, modified from foodnetwork.com

Why I Love This Recipe
I had these at a Christmas party last year, and they were really good!! CHEMISTRY INFORMATION: The pure substances are baking soda {NaHCO3} and salt {NaCI}. The ingredients that are homogeneous are all purpose flour, cocoa powder, vegetable oil, butter milk, red food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla extract. The cupcakes rising is a chemical change. Another chemical change is when the cupcakes turn a lighter color when baking. When the cupcakes are being formed into the cupcakes in the cupcake tins, it is a physical change.
