Red velvet cake is traditionally a red, red-brown, crimson, or
scarlet-colored layer cake, layered with ermine icing. Traditional
recipes do not use food coloring, with the red color due to non-Dutched,
anthocyanin-rich cocoa. The red velvet cake is incredibly soft and moist
paired with a tangy and sweet cream cheese frosting. If you are craving

Ingredients
butter 🧈
flour two cakepans 🥞
sugar
vanilla 🍦
vinegar food coloring
3 eggs 🥚
oil
sifted flour
cocoa podwer 🍫
baking soda
salt 🧂
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Butter and flour, two six-inch cake pans
and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Add sugar and
beat until well-combined, about 2 minutes.
Add egg, oil, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla, and beat until
well-combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together sifted flour, cocoa podwer, baking
soda, and salt.
Add all of the buttermilk, mixing until just-combined, repeating with
the rest of the flour mixture. Use a rubber
spatula to scrape down the edges and bottom of the bowl to make sure
everything is mixed.
Divide butter evenly between prepared cake pans.
Bake for 21 to 26 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the centers
of the cakes comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Cool cakes in their pans for 10 to 15 minutes before running a plastic
knife or spatula around the edges
of the cakes to make sure they're not stuck to the pan.
Remove cakes from pans and transfer them to a cooling rack (discard
parchment paper).
