Red colored chocolate cakes and cupcakes are a favorite among everybody everywhere. They are moist in the center and topped with delicious flavored or plain cream cheese frosting that makes them a treat to look at and relish. This red velvet cake recipe can be served at birthday parties, dinner parties, tea parties and even at some cocktail parties as a dessert. Here is one of the simplest and easiest to prepare red velvet cake recipes from scratch.
What you will need:
- 8 large tablespoons of unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups of packed white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons of cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 4 tablespoons of red food coloring (use only high-grade food coloring)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
- 1 cup of buttermilk (use fresh)
- 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 3 teaspoons of white vinegar
Method:
Mix the red food coloring with about 2 teaspoons of water and set it aside.
Grease two 9-inch baking cake tins or 24 cupcake pans (regular size) and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
In a deep bowl, mix the butter and sugar, and beat the two together using the paddle attachment of an electric mixer at a high speed until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs to the mix and beat for about 2-3 minutes until the ingredients are well incorporated.
In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder, red food coloring and salt.
Add this mix to the batter and use a wooden spoon to mix everything so that the color mixes well.
Add half the buttermilk and half the all-purpose flour to the above mix and use a mixer at low speed to mix all the ingredients well.
Now add the rest of the buttermilk and flour to the mix and beat until you get a smooth batter.
Add the baking soda and white distilled vinegar to the mix and beat for about 2 minutes at high speed. Make sure that there are no lumps in batter.
Pour or spoon the batter in the prepared cake tins or cupcake pans.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes (check by inserting a skewer; if it comes out clean then your cake is done). Bake the cupcakes for 20-25 minutes.
Let the cake cool for at least 15-20 minutes before taking it out of the tin.
You can serve the cake as it is, or decorate with some cream cheese frosting.
