Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325.
2. Generously grease two round cake pans with Crisco and dust with flour.
MAKING
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine the sugar and vegetable oil.
5. Mix in the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and red food coloring until combined.
6. Stir in the coffee and white vinegar.
7. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients a little at a time, mixing after each addition, just until combined.
8. Pour the batter evenly into each prepared pan.
9. Bake in the middle rack for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not over bake as cake will continue to cook as it cools.
10. Let cool on a cooling rack until the pans are warm to the touch.
11. Slide a knife or offset spatula around the inside of the pans to loosen the cake from the pan.
12. Remove the cakes from the pan and let them cool.
SERVING
13. Frost the cake with cream cheese frosting when the cakes have cooled completely. Slice and serve.
Editors Review
Red velvet cakes are very popular in the US but this simple recipe is quick and simple. The cake is soft and luscious and extremely easy to make. Traditionally, most cooks suggest frosting the cake with cream cheese. However, buttercream frosting is just as great. Listen the video properly as Monique has great tips to share.Chef
