Ingredients
For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the buttermilk, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla, and beat until combined. Gradually add the flour mixture, and beat until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cakes are cooled, you’re ready to assemble your cake. Place one cake layer on a cake stand or plate. Spread with a layer of frosting, then top with the other cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting on the top and sides of the cake. Decorate as desired.

Tips for the Perfect Cake
Making a perfect red velvet cake doesn’t have to be hard. Here are some tips to make sure your cake turns out perfect every time:
- Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Too much or too little of an ingredient can affect the texture and flavor of your cake.
- Be sure to use room temperature ingredients. Room temperature eggs, butter, and buttermilk will mix together more easily, and will result in a smoother and fluffier cake.
- Don’t overmix the batter. Once the ingredients are combined, stop mixing. Overmixing the batter can lead to a dense and heavy cake.
- Be sure to bake the cake until it’s done. Test the cake by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. If you frost the cake while it’s still warm, the frosting will melt and make a mess.
