Red Velvet Cupcakes

Recipe source from Wen's Delight-Red Velvet Cupcakes.
I halved the original recipe and make some adjustment to suit what I have in my pantry. I only mixed 1/2tsp of red colouring into the batter as my boy found it yucky when he saw the reddish batter and I was worried my family dare not eat it too. The texture is very soft and moist but I don't like the taste of the veg oil.
