Red velvet cake is a classic American dessert, but it's becoming more and more popular outside of Although cake flour is usually used for classic red velvet recipes to make it light, I wanted to stick to.

Instructions to make Red velvet cake:
  1. Instructions - 1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F (all oven types). Butter two round cake pans (sides and base) and dust with cocoa powder. - 2. Shift the Dry Ingredients and whisk to combine in a bowl. - 3. Place butter and sugar in a bowl and beat with electric beater or in stand mixer until smooth and well combined - 4. Add eggs, one at a time, beating in between to combine. Keep beating until it's smooth.
    1. Add vegetable oil, vinegar, vanilla, buttermilk and red food colouring. Beat until combined and smooth. - 6. Add Dry Ingredients. Beat until just combined - some small lumps is ok, that's better than over mixing.
    1. Divide batter between cake pans. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes on the same shelf, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. - 8. Rest for 10 minutes in the pan then turn out onto a cooling rack and allow to cool.
  4. Frosting - 1. Beat together cream cheese, butter and vanilla for 3 minutes (this makes it really smooth and changes from yellow to almost white). Add icing sugar and beat for 2 minutes or until frosting is light and fluffy to your taste. If your frosting seems too runny (depends on quality of cream cheese/ if the cream cheese was too soft), just add more icing sugar.
  5. Frost Cake - 1. Cut the top off the cake using a knife (to make the layers meat). - 2. Spread one cake with 1 1/2 cups of frosting. Top with the other cake. Spread top and sides with remaining frosting.

One bowl, one spatula, one amazing cake! The cake is very light and delicate and very moist. A Red Velvet Cake is instantly recognizable with its bright red color offset by a white Cream Cheese Frosting. There are many theories as to its origin. Modern red velvet cakes are made scarlet with red food dye.
