Prepare the Beetroot Puree: In a blender or food processor, puree the grated beetroot along with the buttermilk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
-
Sift the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the Vivatta Maida (all-purpose flour), cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. This will help ensure the cupcakes are light and fluffy.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, place the butter (kept at room temperature). Beat it using an electric mixer on medium speed until the butter is smooth and creamy.
-
Add the Eggs: Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture. Beat well after each addition, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
-
Combine the Sugar: Add the sugar to the butter and egg mixture. Continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Incorporate the Dry Ingredients and Beetroot Puree: Alternately add the sifted dry ingredients and the beetroot puree to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix well after each addition, beating for 8-10 seconds after each one to ensure everything is evenly combined.
-
Fill the Cupcake Liners: Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
-
Bake the Cupcakes: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcakes comes out clean.
-
Cool the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the tray for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
-
Prepare the Oreo Frosting: While the cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and caster sugar. Beat on low speed until the ingredients are well-blended.
-
Increase the Speed: Gradually increase the speed to medium and continue beating for 2-3 minutes, or until the butter and sugar mixture becomes light and fluffy.
-
Add the Vanilla and Whipping Cream: Add the vanilla extract and heavy whipping cream, one teaspoon at a time. Continue beating until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
-
Incorporate the Oreos: Add the finely ground Oreo biscuits to the frosting and stir until well-mixed using a spoon.
-
Frost the Cupcakes: Transfer the Oreo frosting to a piping bag fitted with a decorative nozzle. Pipe the frosting onto the cooled beetroot cupcakes, creating a swirl or your desired pattern.
-
