I've been making Red Velvet Cake for many years, trying slight changes in the recipe until coming up with one I consider tried and proven. Conveniently, it starts with a cake mix and turns out beautifully every time. -Priscilla Weaver, Hagerstown, Maryland Ingredients:
1 package fudge marble cake mix (regular size) |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1-1/2 cups buttermilk |
2 eggs |
1 bottle (1 ounce) red food coloring |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
frosting: |
5 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup milk |
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the contents of cake mix and baking soda. Add the buttermilk, eggs, food coloring and vanilla; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans.
2. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
3. For frosting, whisk flour and milk in a small saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cover and cool to room temperature.
4. In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Add milk mixture; beat for 10 minutes or until fluffy. Spread frosting between layers and over the top and sides of cake. Yield: 12 servings.
