red velvet cake recipe | easy & moist eggless velvet cake recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. a traditional red coloured or dark red brown moist red velvet cake with white cream cheese icing or ermine frosting. it is considered one of the moist cake ever, perhaps due to the alkaline acidic substances used like vinegar or buttermilk in this cake recipe.
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.
furthermore some important tips and recommendations for a perfect and moist red velvet cake recipe. firstly, i have used 4 tsp red food colour in this recipe which can be replaced with gel food colour as well. if you are using gel colour, 1 tsp should be more than sufficient. secondly, velvet cake is typically prepared with maida flour, however wheat flour can also be used as alternative. lastly, apply the cream cheese frosting only after the baked cake is completely cooled down.
finally, i have posted quite a few eggless cakes recipes collection and i would request to visit them. it includes, eggless chocolate cake, cupcake, black forest cake, rava cake, choco lava cake, cream cheese cake, ice cream cake, vanilla cake, mug cake and plum cake recipe. in addition do visit my other recipes collection with this recipe of red velvet cake,
