Red Velvet Cake

I got this from here, and it turned out quite delicious. Since I only had one pie foil I only made half the recipe (single layer), but it was delish nonetheless.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 330 g oil
  • 240 g buttermilk
  • 1 Tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 50 g red food coloring
  • 300 g all purpose flour
  • 400 g sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 175 C.
  2. Grease and flour two 8 inch cake pans.
  3. Lightly stir eggs in a medium bowl with a wire whisk. Add remaining liquid ingredients and stir together with whisk until blended. Set aside.
  4. Place all the dry ingredients in your food processor and stir together.
  5. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix on medium-high for about a minute or until completely combined.
  6. Pour into cake pans and then drop the pans on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
  7. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. After about ten minutes, remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack. I also cover in plastic wrap while the cakes cool.
  9. Then make the frosting.
  10. Frost!
