It might be known as a southern thing, but red velvet actually got its start up north. Waaay up north, all the way in the North Pole, where legend has it that Mrs. Claus baked the first cake in honor of her hungry hubby’s fuzzy red suit. No holiday treat will bring out a hearty “ho-ho-ho” quite like that sweet, slightly cocoa-y, cream cheese frosting covered deliciousness. Santa loves it so much he’d blend it up and drink it if he could. So, in an effort to stay off the naughty list this year, we did just that. Our Red Velvet Cupcake combines the luscious flavors of your favorite Santa-inspired cake with the rich, nutty flavor of coffee. Stir in a little milk and cream and don’t forget to leave out an extra mug for St. Nick.
