well i have baked couple of other basic cake recipes, but red velvet cake recipe wasn’t the easy one to bake it. i had to try it 3 times till i get a near perfect and moist one. hence i can say that this recipe is tried and tested one and you would not be disappointed with the result. in the initial attempts i had prepared with buttermilk, but the results were not pleasing. the main reason to use buttermilk was due to its easy availability in every kitchen. but i had to fall back to the vinegar and i was comfortable with the end result.

notes:

  • furthermore, use oil instead of butter if you are preserving the cake and eating later. as butter hardens once refrigerated whereas oil doesn’t and keeps cake more moist.

  • finally, eggless red velvet cake recipe is traditionally prepared with cream cheese frosting, however you can replace with vanilla frosting used for black forest cake recipe.

  1. Hi ,Red velvet cake looks yummy.iam.baking this for my nephew’s birthday.I will have to travel an hour to reach his place.will the cream cheese frosting melt if it’s kept outside for an hour? Also planning to use butter only.so it should be okay for a day right?

  2. I have a very small baking vessel. So can I mix the whole batter at once and bake it two times? My question is when I bake it for the 2nd time the batter will remain soft n same as the first round of baking?
