first you preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then line up two 12cup muffin pans and put cupcake papers in both

in a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder

next in a large bowl gently beat together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla with a handheld electric mixer. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth and thoroughly

divide the batter evenly among the cupcake tins about 2/3 filled. Bake in oven for about 20 to 22 minutes, turning the pans once half way through. Test the cupcakes with a toothpick for doneness. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before frosting.

For the cream cheese frosting:
