Red Velvet Cupcakes

I found a recipe for red velvet cupcakes in a Family Circus magazine at my Aunt and Uncle's house, and when I stayed the night to watch my cousins I decided to make them. They turned out a brown color and they were a little harder than I would have liked but they were super delicious. I wrote down the recipe on the back of a piece of paper and since the chances of me losing it is high I'm going to put the recipe here.

Ingredients:
2 3/4 Cups of All purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

(2.5) In another bowl Mix butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the sour cream. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
