Ingredients

This red velvet cake recipe is a delicious treat for your family and friends. To make it, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/4 cups of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1 cup of buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons of white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon of red food coloring

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and greasing two round cake pans with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, vinegar, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and whisk together until just combined.

Divide the batter between the two cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove the pans from the oven and let the cakes cool completely before frosting.

Frosting

To make the frosting, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup of butter, softened
  • 4 cups of powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder

In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Slowly add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until fully incorporated.

Add the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and cocoa powder and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.

Spread the frosting onto the cooled cake layers, then stack them on top of each other.

You can also add a layer of raspberry or strawberry jam between the cake layers for a delicious twist.

Serving

This delicious red velvet layer cake is perfect for any occasion. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly decadent dessert. Enjoy!
