Eggless Red Velvet Cuppies with Cream Cheese frosting

My Achilles heel seems to be red velvet. Always stayed away from it. I attempted it once on my birthday and got a Maroon colour cake with a crusty texture. It was tasty but not the red velvet I wanted

Tried another recipe today and the taste and texture is awesome but still didn’t get the bright red I am looking for. Maybe I was stringent with the colour, also I reduced the cocoa instead of using the mentioned amount. Next try will stick to the recipe and hope for a lovely bright red.
