Red Velvet Chocolate Cake
May 22, 2013
Ever since I came across a red velvet cupcake some years back, I've been in love with red velvet cakes/cupcakes. I don't know about you, but I think it's one of the prettiest looking cakes known to humans.
Red velvet cake is described as a cake with either a dark red, bright red, or red-brown color. It is typically prepared as a layer cake that has cream cheese or cooked roux icing as topping. You get the reddish color by adding in beetroot or red food coloring.
The most commonly used ingredients are buttermilk, butter, and flour for the cake and cocoa, beetroot, or red food coloring for the color. The amount of cocoa differs depending on the recipe.
Red Velvet Chocolate Cake Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter two 9-by-2-inch round cake pans. Sprinkle with flour, and tap out the excess; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk cake flour, salt, and cocoa; set aside. |
Enjoy! 🙂
