Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until it is just combined. 5.

To make the frosting, whisk the butter until light and f luffy, then gradually add the cream cheese in small cubes until well incorporated. Finally, start to beat in the sugar and vanilla. 7. Once cupcakes are cool smear the icing over the red velvet cupcakes and enjoy!
