In the Kitchen: Easy Red Velvet Cake

January 19, 2020

Share & tag megleonardco to show me how you enjoyed!

DETAILS:

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Serving: 16 slices

INGREDIENTS:

CAKE:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1½ cups buttermilk
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring

 

ICING:
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or rub cooking oil spray onto three 9-inch cake rounds. Dust the pans with flour and tap out the excess.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt using a low speed until combined (or by hand for a few minutes).
  3. Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, vanilla, vinegar, and food coloring. Mixon a medium speed until smooth, for a few minutes.
  4. Divide batter amongst the three pans.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Check with a toothpick or fork, if it comes out clean – it’s good to go.
  6. In a large bowl, mix together butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Add in vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Mix in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time until frosting is smooth. 
  7. Let cakes cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and allow them to cool completely before frosting. Assemble the cakes and frost to your liking – layers in between cakes are optional.
  8. Enjoy!
