1. Beat eggs, oil, buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla extract and food colouring until combined..
2. Add sifted flour, bicarbonate of soda, cocoa, as well as salt and sugar..
3. Spoon mixture into cupcake holders. (Tip: use a measuring cup in order to get the cupcakes to be equal sizes, I use a 1/4 cup).
4. Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes. (However every oven works slightly differently so I suggest checking on them after 15 minutes as you don't want to dry them out and 5 minutes can make a big difference).
5. Remove cupcakes from the oven and leave to cool completely before putting topping on..
6. Place all ingredients for the cream cheese topping in an electric mixer and mix until well combined. It should be an off white colour with a light and fluffy texture..
7. Put topping on cooled cupcakes and enjoy.
