Red Velvet Cake 



Red velvet cake :)




I don't know why I decided to try this recipe (as if I had not tried that many Red Velvet cakes recipes) , but I did...and I was glad I did! I love the simplicity of this cake, using corn oil, instead of butter but yet made you want to have a slice of the cake over and over again! A red velvet cake is a cake with a dark red, bright red or red-brown color. It is traditionally prepared as a layer cake topped with cream cheese icing, and sometimes dough filling. The reddish color is achieved by adding red food coloring. Common ingredients are buttermilk, butter, flour, cookie dough for the filling, cocoa and beetroor or red food coloring.
Okay so that's all. I love this cake! :)



Ingredients 


3 1/2 cups cake flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1 used Valrhona
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups corn oil
2 1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon red colour gel
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
