Hi Craige– yes, buttermilk of any kind will work. I have notes in the recipe about making your own at home if you don’t keep it on hand. And yes, they would certainly work in another shape– likely as cupcakes. I am unsure of baking time!

Hi! I have 2 questions. You say you are requiring buttermilk in this recipe. Does that mean you require store-bought or the homemade variety? What about the stuff that comes in a tin that you can use to turn milk into buttermilk (I think that’s how it works; even though I have some I’ve never used it)? And also, do you think these would work in another shape for those of us who don’t have donut pans? Thanks!

In reply to Britney. Hmm, I'm sorry to hear that, Britney! Overmixing and/or over baking can definitely make the end result a tad dry, but if I'm not with you in the kitchen, I can't say exactly where you and I may have differed in our preparation.

In reply to Lynn. I made them. They were better then the other recipe I found but I followed everything but they seemed to come out too dry and no really tasting like red velvet.

In reply to Amy. Confusing and delicious, hahaha, yes, RV is certainly both of those things! The amount of cupcakes I used to make was one of the reasons I stopped. I have a tall order for my BIL's wedding coming up in June, but I'm not too worried about that one. Sometimes it's fun to do it all again! Just not when it's every weekend anymore :-) Can't wait to see your RV cake soon!

All that experimenting came to an awesome conclusion! These look so delicious Lynn! After testing red velvet stuff in my kitchen this weekend, my appetite is certainly whet for this confusing, but delicious, flavour – why not have doughnuts for breakfast!
Can’t wait to see what else you have come up with to use your massive bottle of red food colouring! And those sprinkles – I think I know what I’m bringing back as a souvenir this year 😉
My little sister makes cakes as a side business too and I am always overwhelmed by the sheer number of cupcakes that come out of her kitchen sometimes 🙂
