Put on your red dress and bake a red velvet cake for Valentine’s. Just as that dress gets everyone’s attention so this cake turns a few heads, too. And when the batter is turned into cupcakes, there is more to go around, perfect for sharing with sweethearts large and small. Take these to the office, to school, to the weekend basketball game.

My favorite way to make this batter is to begin with a German chocolate cake mix and add buttermilk and a few other add-ins. These cupcakes are a fun twist in that the cream cheese frosting is flavored with a little peppermint extract and then topped with crushed peppermint candy. They are moist and memorable, a sweet token of your affection.
