Red Velvet Cake 🎂

By Foodistan_travels

I have finally got a chance to bake Red Velvet Cake and I found appreciative results and feedback.

I used Emma's Goodies recipe for the cake sponge👍🏼

RECIPE✍🏼

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp cocoa powder (dark/unsweetened)

2 cups brown sugar

200g butter (unsalted)

3 eggs

1 cup milk

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup oil (vegetable)

1 to 3 oz. red food colour (quantity, depending on how deep you want the color)

1 tsp white vinegar

Method:

Preheat oven to 180 C

Grease and flour two (2) 9-inch round cake pans (spring foam). Then set aside.

Take a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Keep it aside.

Take another large bowl, combine the sugar and butter and mix it well until creamy.

Mix in the eggs, and beat them again.

Add oil, milk, vanilla and red food coloring until combined.

Stir in the white vinegar.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients a little at a time, mixing after each addition, beat only until combined. (The Cake batter will be thin)

Then pour the batter evenly into each pan.

Bake in the middle rack for 35-45 minutes or (until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs).

Let pans cool on a cooling rack until the pans are warm to the touch. Slide a knife or offset spatula around the inside of the pans to loosen the cake from the pan. Gently remove the cakes from the pan and let them finish cooling.

Filling and Frosting:

Frost the cake with cream cheese or whipped cream and keep it in refrigerator for 2-3 hours then. Make a butter frosting and cover the cake. You can also cover the cake with cream cheese. Serve the cake when completely cool.
