Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups plus 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (recommended : valrhona)
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 7/8 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 fl oz red food coloring
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
1 1/4 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
almond cream cheese frosting , recipe follows
11 1/2 tbsp butter, at room temperature
24 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar , sifted
3 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp almond extract

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 muffin pans with 24 cupcake liners.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the vegetable oil, buttermilk, sugar, eggs, food coloring, applesauce, vinegar, and vanilla on medium speed until incorporated, about 2 minutes. Turn the mixer to medium-low speed, and add the dry ingredients a little bit at a time, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary. Mix until just combined.
Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full, and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely.
Generously frost the top of each cupcake with the Almond Cream Cheese Frosting.
