Using a 12 cup cupcake pan or 2 6 cup cupcake pans.  Insert the cupcake papers.

Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. 

Add the eggs and mix well. 

Then add the Red Food Coloring,  Vanilla and Vinegar.  Mix until thoroughly combined.  Don’t forget to scrape the sides of the bowl.

In a large bowl combine all of the dry ingredients and mix well.

To the butter mixture, alternate adding the dry ingredients and Buttermilk.  Use at least 2 different cycles but 3 is better.  Mix each addition until just barely combined, don’t overmix.

Using a cookie scoop fill the prepared paper cups about half to three quarters full.  You should get 12-18 cupcakes depending on how full you fill them.  Do not overfill!

Bake for 15-18 minutes until they spring back when touched or use a toothpick and it comes out clean.

Let cool completely before frosting.
