Red Velvet Cupcakes

1.Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2.In a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. With your mixer, combine oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vinegar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix to combine well.
3.Line cupcake trays with paper liners. Fill each cupcake 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean.
4.Transfer the cupcakes to wire cooling racks to cool completely.
5.While the cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting. With your mixer, beat cream cheese to soften it up a bit. Add in butter and mix well, then add in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add in powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Beat until the frosting is light and fluffy. Spread frosting on cupcakes and garnish each with a fresh raspberry.
