Red Velvet Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This rich and moist red velvet cake recipe needs just a few simple ingredients. You will need all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, vegetable oil, white vinegar, eggs, granulated sugar, and buttermilk. For the cream cheese frosting, you will need cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. You will also need red food coloring.
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter and line the bottoms with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, eggs, sugar, and buttermilk until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
While the cakes are baking, make the frosting. In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined. Slowly add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Set aside.
Once the cakes have finished baking, let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, invert the cakes onto a cooling rack and let them cool completely before frosting. Once the cakes are cool, spread the cream cheese frosting between the layers and on top of the cake. Decorate with sprinkles or any other desired decorations.
