Method:
Preheat your oven to 176°C, line a muffin pan with cup cake liners and set aside (you can oil the surface of the cupcake pan so the batter wont stick to it)
In a small bowl mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt, set aside
In the bowl cream together the sugar and butter
Add the egg and vanilla and mix until well combined and creamy
With the mixer running on low, add half of the dry ingredients and half of the buttermilk, make sure its combined and add the remaining dry ingredients and buttermilk making sure to combine everything together but not over mixing
Using a spatula mix the batter from the bottom to make sure nothing is left stuck to the side of the bowl
Add enough food coloring to get the desired red color for your cupcakes
Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop the batter evenly in your prepared pan
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until when you insert a toothpick in the center it comes out clean
Let the cupcakes cool completely
Frost the cupcakes with vanilla frosting and they are ready to serve
