The cream cheese frosting is from my favorite cupcake shop here in DC called Georgetown Cupcake. I love their red velvet cupcakes and the frosting is amazing with just the right amount of fluffiness, sweetness and tanginess from the cream cheese. However I could not duplicate their red velvet cupcake, so when this recipe came along I decided to try it out with their frosting and much to my amazement it tastes even better, if that is possible. The taste is very much similar with the hint of cocoa flavor in the cupcakes but the difference is in the textures, the NY times recipe has such a light and moist texture much more preferable than the Georgetown's moist but slightly dense texture.

Red Velvet Cupcakes
These are the most amazing, moist, melt-in-your-mouth cupcakes I have ever tasted. Thanks to NY times and Elisa Strauss for this recipe. I am crazy about everything that is cakes and cupcakes and this is going to be my number one cupcake.
