In honor of Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share a fabulous recipe for the loveliest of all desserts — red velvet cake! Courtesy of All Recipes UK, these particular steps are easy to follow, and when she peels back the parchment paper she reveals a cake so vivid and gorgeous. It's the reddest Red Velvet I've ever seen! She says as long as you follow this recipe, it will always turn out this beautiful.
“We found that using a red gel food coloring produced a more vibrant result than using liquid food coloring, so that is one tip to keep in mind when shopping for ingredients. We also found that mixing in the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar at the very last minute ensured a well-risen cake with a lovely texture. So fold this into the cake mixture at the last minute, just before transferring to the tins and placing in the oven. Finally, many red velvet cakes out there contain too much cocoa powder and thus are more likely to produce a brownish cake. This recipe for red velvet cake contains just the right amount of cocoa powder, so no worries there!”
Yummy, easy-to-follow and simply stunning. I’m not a great baker, but I’m still going to attempt this awesome cake for Valentine’s Day. How about you? Let us know, and please SHARE this video tutorial with your friends on Facebook!
