It’s so amazing when you find a baker on TH-cam that you can trust. I have made her carrot cake, red velvet cake, oatmeal meals and brookies perfectly adhering to Sam’s recipe and I got rave reviews on all of them (especially the carrot cake!). Now I can confidently follow any of her recipes and I know it’s going to be amazing!
That's so lovely. I have just came across her channel. I'm glad you wrote this. Looking forward to trying this recipe. It's my favourite cake but have never made it 😊
This is literally the best red velvet cake I ever had. I am a pastry chef and baker and I can actually attest to this recipe and say it's really good. Moist and not a dry cake at all.
I had been searching forever for a red velvet cake recipe that I liked. I had just about given up and came to the conclusion I just did not like red velvet cake. Knowing Sam is a great recipe creator I said to myself give it one more try. Boy oh boy am I sooo glad I did. This recipe is beyond ahmaazing! Sam you knocked it out of the park. Everyone was raving about this cake and more importantly I absolutely loved it. Now I know It wasn't the cake I did not like it was the recipes that I did not like. Thank you Sam.
I’ve made your Red Velvet and Chocolate cake with Chocolate Fudge Frosting. Both were amazing. I have a 5 year old grandson who is allergic to nuts and dairy. If you have any suggestions for me please post or reply. He just saw your Red Velvet cake and told my wife that for his birthday he would like a cake (as opposed to what he typically gets, a cupcake that’s “safe”.
I'm so glad you've enjoyed everything so much! Unforutnately I don't have much experience making things dairy and nut free so it's difficult for me to advise. :(
THIS is the Red Velvet Cake that I was raised on using the Ermine Frosting❣️😋 My grandmother or mother would make it for Christmas and it is my favorite cake ever‼️‼️ You're post has given me the idea to make one this Christmas to pick up the tradition and carry it forward❣️ Thank you for sharing your awesome talent‼️‼️😊
I’ve tried so many of your cake recipes and received nothing but praise from my family!! They love ‘em all and so do I! I’m excited to try this one. Thanks, Sam!
I made this cake with cream cheese frosting for a colleague’s birthday - my office gobbled it up! I’ve never been the biggest fan of red velvet cake but the texture of this one was just amazing! Soft and moist without being mushy. The only thing I did differently was replace the extra egg yolk with one tbsp of extra oil because I never know what to do with one egg white. After years of looking I can finally stop looking for a decent red velvet cake recipe - thank you!
I'm a pastry chef with 22 yrs experience. I can say this madam is a pro . The ratios are right on. And methods so simplified , even kids can follow this .
Hi Sam. As you mention it is the best red velvet cake and I say in the planet. I love that you can make it with just a spatula. I baked 1 1/2 times quantity into a 40cm x 30cm sheet pan and it was perfect. Thank you amazing Lady. 😋
Made this for Valentine's day. We called it Flame Red Cake when we were growing up. It was my Dad's favorite and always what he wanted for his birthday. Your recipe is different from my Mom's but I tried yours this time and it turned out wonderfully. Hope you have a wonderful Valentine's day.
I don't know what red velvet cake taste. But i decided to try . Last week was my Birthday and I made this with your ermine frosting. It was delicious, my family loves it. Next time I'll try the cream cheese frosting. ❤️❤️ Thanks for this wonderful recipe ❤️❤️
Omg I was literally thinking about adding brown sugar to my red velvet cake and the butter + oil I’m in the process of creating my own red velvet cake and to see someone else add brown sugar as I would is crazy and rare 😂 thank you for having like minds like me!
I first started baking your recipe from pumpkin cookies (after disappointed from many pumpkin recipes out there!) and it was the best ever. Pumpkin muffin and red velvet cake were next I tried and they were incredible. Love that all your recipes are easy to follow with simple method yet with great result. Definitely looking forward to your cook book if you will ever have one. Thank you so much for sharing the recipes!
That happened to me with Campbell's Bean with Bacon soup. I used to loved that soup as a child but on Christmas Eve the year I was 12, I ate it then was sick that night. Didn't touch the stuff for at least another 20 years, lol! Now though, the only Campbell's soup I can stand is their tomato soup but I do make homemade Bean with Bacon soup and like it.
Its funny how things stick w/u from childhood. My birthday is right after Xmas n every yr I would get a Red Velvet Cake n 56 yrs later still have Red Velvet Cake on my birthday. I love m can't wait to try ur recipe on my next birthday 🎂
Hello, I am thankful to have found this...I made your red velvet cake for Thanksgiving with the ermine frosting. In a word...WOW! After trying 2 other recipes some time ago, one of which was "ok" and the other a failure, I was thrilled to find yours the perfect one! I've subscribed and look forward to baking your other cakes. THANK YOU!!!
Hello again, I made this cake again Sunday for my sister's birthday. She requested a red velvet bday cake.. She flew in for a few days for the first time in years!! She and the others we had for her dinner LOVED it!! BEST red velvet cake EVER!! I cannot thank you enough!!!
maam.....MA'AM!!! I am so happy that you got over your red velvet cake phobia because SIS. that cake is beautiful!! I can tell the texture is PERFECT just by looking at it!!! i cant wait to try this cake. i have been searching for the perfect recipe and i feel it in my soul.... this is it. its divine. thank you so much!
I haven't tried sour cream here so I can't say for sure how to do it. I do have a post on making a buttermilk substitute if you don't have any on hand. :) th-cam.com/video/nzXgl6ayZxc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4YY5mD4isXH9N2Yp
Red velvet cake is not red velvet cake without Ermine frosting. This is the recipe that we always made by request in our family for Birthdays. It was definately a special occasion recipe. When I was a child I would save all the icing for last and I eat that by itself. We ate it cold from the fridge so it was kind of like the texture of the ice cream in an ice cream sandwich. Such good memories. :). I think we would make a batch and a half of frosting so it was extra thick.
I understand that kind of childhood trauma, lol. My uncle told me never to run around a tree multiple times, if there was an owl in the tree. The owl would follow me with its eyes, turning its head around until its head popped off! I believed him!
Thank you so much. I made this cake today and the ermine frosting. First off, the cake recipe is awesome. It was easy and the result is so delicious. I need to get the gel food coloring you used. The one I used the cake did not turn out as red, but really don't mind since it was tender and so good. The frosting was a first for me. I was a little more willing to try because the initial steps remind me of making country breakfast gravy and I have some practice making that. The key (and the same with the roux portion of the frosting) is patience and DON'T leave it or stop whisking. Like you mention don't rush it by increase the tempt. It turned out really good too and I am thinking I like it more than buttercream. Any suggestions what flavors of cake it goes well with?
I feel your pain with fear over some baked goods. Growing up my dad made banana bread and he mixed up the vanilla with mint because they were both in similar looking orange containers. It smelled so bad and tasted awful. I didnt eat banana bread for a while after that
Looks amazing! Thx sooop much! I've been wanting a Red velvet cake recipe for some time now. Love the frosting too! Thank you, thank you, thank you! XOXO Patty
I am eager to try this recipe because it looks so easy. I used to make red velvet back when I was in college. Several recipes alway came out tough even if i tried not to overbeat the batter. I see now that the recipes lacked the fat content that yours has. I did do the ermine frosting which was so delicious and creamy smooth that the less than perfect cake was tolerable. Lol! I don’t think I’ll have any problems with your velvet cake. Thanks for doing all the research so that we can be assured of great outcomes.
I've got a red velvet cake recipe that will knock your socks off ❤ I'm the family member that always has to bring the red velvet cake 😂 and mine's also a 3 layer cake 😋
I don’t know how you taste all those cakes and look as beautiful as you do!! This cake is in the oven right now and I’m so excited to bring it to my sister tomorrow she loves red velvet and this is my first try at this cake and with all these great reviews I’m looking forward to eating! But I’m dyslexic or just me and put in the egg white instead of the yoke then just put in three eggs Hope it doesn’t make a bid difference and you know I’m going to eat it regardless lol I’ve tried your carrot cake cupcakes and they were sooooo delicious! Have a blessed day ❤️
I don't have my recipe in front of me, I just remember it says the vinegar is last and it's important to add it last, the world will crash and burn if you add before, oh no!! LOL This sounds delicious, Sam! My daughters favorite cake! I'm not seeing a link to the frosting though? Just a small 3 after...³ like that...
the phenomenon that you experienced by getting sick from red velvet cake and then never being able to look or eat it ever again is called the Garcia effect
Same I made a few red velvets there's times they red n some times the colour does come thru...but looks like a chocolate cake but the texture would be great but not the colour...wat will the reason b for the colour...I'm going to try ur recipe....thanks your cakes are always yummy 😊
Trina Harris put a couple teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice into the bottom of your measuring cup and then fill it up with milk to the 1 1/4 cup line. Mix, let sit for a few mins, then use in place of buttermilk :)
Here's the video for the substitute th-cam.com/video/nzXgl6ayZxc/w-d-xo.html and the blog post if you'd like to see that instead. :) sugarspunrun.com/easy-buttermilk-substitute/
Hi, this cake has a good flavor but mine came out a little gummy and sunk in the middle while baking, can you possibly tell me why? I live in Colorado, does the altitude have anything to do with this?
O no! I’m so sorry this happened! 😔 Altitude can play a role here but unfortunately I’ve never baked at high altitude before to be able to advise. Under-mixing, under-baking, or not enough flour can also cause these issues. I wish I could help more. 😔
Fantastic! Thanks so much... I've tried to find the answer to one question for months now- as a new baker, when I use convection on my oven (at home), am I actually baking at 25 degrees less than 350? It seems every baker uses convection so I assume that means on convection what the recipe calls for. Please, help a new baker out... Thanks again
Unfortunately I don’t have a convection oven so I’m not really sure what the adjustment is to cook with it. A quick google search says yes set your oven to 25 degrees lower but I can’t say for sure that is accurate. My temperature listed is for a conventional oven. 😊
Unfortunately I think there would be a good bit of adjustments needed here and I haven’t tried it so I’m not sure exactly what would need to be done. I’m sorry. 😔
Everything went according to plan, BUT why did mine sink in the middle slightly? I used a 9 x 13 baking dish which the batter filled to perfection. It wasn't easy getting that gel food coloring to dissolve. I still saw tiny bits of it in the batter. I figure the bits really won't show in such a dark cake...hopefully.
@@SugarSpunRun No, I didn't want to leave it in the oven any longer because I was afraid it might turn out dry. Anyway, everyone LOVED the cake. I managed to score a small slice and they were right. It was spectacular, a keeper. People were throwing me kisses. Not a single crumb was left in my 9 x 13 dish. One of the ladies asked me to make the exact same cake for next week's meeting. Personally, I prefer to try some of your other cakes. As a matter of fact, I'm going in search of one right after this comment. BTW, the gel coloring DID dissolve but there were little specks of undissolved cocoa throughout the cake (nobody cared). The only thing I can think went wrong was that I didn't beat the batter enough. I was concerned about beating it too much making the cake tough. There's even a possibility it was cacao instead of cocoa (I don't know if there's a difference). It was given to me in a ziplock bag by a friend. Maybe next time, I'll add it to the buttermilk instead. Well, thanks a bunch for the great work on this recipe.
Will this recipe work if baked in 8 inch heart-shaped pans? I'd like to do this for Valentine's Day, and will trace the parchment paper to the heart shape. What would be your suggestions for adding a bit of decoration to a Valentine's red velvet cake?
It will work in a heart shaped pan, but I'm not sure of the capacity of that pan so you will most likely have excess batter. Don't overfill your pan. I'm not sure on the bake time. I think I would do varying shades of red and pink and use different tips to pipe decorations on top. I will be sharing a post next week on basic decoration of a cake that may be helpful. :)
@@SugarSpunRun Thank you! I'm thinking I would be better off getting the 9 inch pans, then. Wilton has 8, 9, and 10 inch pans, all 2 inches deep. I think the 10 inch might be too much, though.
Does the cake have to be stored in the fridge if making the day before due to the cream cheese? And can I add sour cream to the cake batter or does that not work with the buttermilk?
There is no cream cheese in this cake, but with the frosting, whether you use ermine or cream cheese frosting, I would recommend refrigeration. I wouldn't recommend adding sour cream with the buttermilk. You will end up messing with your ratios and I'm not sure it would turn out quite the same.
@@SugarSpunRun Thank you so much! I normally make cakes the day before and am always concerned with whether to put it in the fridge or not and whether to ice it the same day or not
Hi Sam! Can i use a two 6” pans with this recipe? and does the time of baking is need an adjustment if i use the 6” pans? Thank you and I can’t wait to try this recipe for my mom’s Birthday and also the stuffed cookies!
You can use your 6 inch pans, but this recipe will make enough for three 6 inch pans so make sure you don't overfill the pans. I'm not sure on the bake time but it will definitely be reduced. Be sure to keep an eye on it. :)
hi thanks for all your tasty receipes,,kindly advice should we use 1 3/4 cup of granulated sugar as on video or 1 1/4 cup as per below written receipe,,thanx
Hi Sam, I have made five of your cakes; one was the red velvet stuffed cheesecake. My family is celebrating a birthday, my so in law is asking for this cake. I cannot find the recipe on your web slight, any chance I can get this.
I don't actually have a red velvet cake with a cheesecake, but you could use this red velvet cake and the cheesecake from my carrot cake cheesecake. :)
This recipe looks delicious! Can't wait to try it with the ermine frosting. What is the purpose for the white vinegar? Do you use it in other cake recipies?
It’s so amazing when you find a baker on TH-cam that you can trust. I have made her carrot cake, red velvet cake, oatmeal meals and brookies perfectly adhering to Sam’s recipe and I got rave reviews on all of them (especially the carrot cake!).

LOL This sounds delicious, Sam! My daughters favorite cake! I'm not seeing a link to the frosting though? Just a small 3 after...³ like that...
O no! I added it in a card at around the 6 minute mark, but I forgot to add it in the description. I have updated it for you. :)
@@SugarSpunRun thank you! I can't wait to make this, my daughter will be thrilled!! ❤
the phenomenon that you experienced by getting sick from red velvet cake and then never being able to look or eat it ever again is called the Garcia effect
Very interesting. Thanks for the tidbit of information!
I tried this recipe. It was sooo good!
I'm so happy you loved it!
This cake is delicious! Thank you!
Glad you like it!

Bahaha, your uncle played mean tricks on you 🤣🤣🤣
🤣 He definitely did! 😃
You can use beets for the coloring
Looks delicious and cannot wait to try this out!! Can you make a recipe of donuts with apple cider vinegar?! Yuuum 😋
I hope you love the cake! I have not experimented with a donut using apple cider vinegar, but I will have to see what I can do. :)
Wow, that looks amazing
Thank you! :)
Thnks for sharing amazing recipes👌👌😘lots of love
Thanks for watching ❤
Oh waw that looks amazing..I love u Sam for all ur wonderful recipe😍
For ur vanilla cake can u please please tell me what the substitute for 11/4 cup whole milk into buttermilk as I don't have buttermilk on hand
Trina Harris put a couple teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice into the bottom of your measuring cup and then fill it up with milk to the 1 1/4 cup line. Mix, let sit for a few mins, then use in place of buttermilk :)
Here's the video for the substitute th-cam.com/video/nzXgl6ayZxc/w-d-xo.html and the blog post if you'd like to see that instead. :) sugarspunrun.com/easy-buttermilk-substitute/
@@SugarSpunRun ok great.. thanks
@@briannatuttle1028 thanks
Hi, this cake has a good flavor but mine came out a little gummy and sunk in the middle while baking, can you possibly tell me why? I live in Colorado, does the altitude have anything to do with this?
O no! I’m so sorry this happened! 😔 Altitude can play a role here but unfortunately I’ve never baked at high altitude before to be able to advise. Under-mixing, under-baking, or not enough flour can also cause these issues. I wish I could help more. 😔
Fantastic! Thanks so much... I've tried to find the answer to one question for months now- as a new baker, when I use convection on my oven (at home), am I actually baking at 25 degrees less than 350? It seems every baker uses convection so I assume that means on convection what the recipe calls for. Please, help a new baker out... Thanks again
Unfortunately I don’t have a convection oven so I’m not really sure what the adjustment is to cook with it. A quick google search says yes set your oven to 25 degrees lower but I can’t say for sure that is accurate. My temperature listed is for a conventional oven. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun Thanks for responding! Next time I'll use conventional to be sure. Look forward to more good food....
Hi. For the cocoa powder, is it 3 tablespoons or 3 teaspoons? 1 tablespoon is 15 g.. and youve mentioned 19g..
It’s 3 tablespoons which is about 19 g in this case. A tablespoon of cocoa powder is pretty light, just over 6g. 😊
Can I suggest to rename the title of video to "Red Velvet Cake: "? People might not be able to find it, SSR.
Looks great! Can you suggest some adjustments to the recipe if I were making cookies instead of cake?
I am assuming you mean cupcakes here? I actually just published red velvet cupcakes on my blog. sugarspunrun.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/
@@SugarSpunRun No, I have a request for Red Velvet Cookies. I've made them using box cake mix but I prefer to bake from scratch.
Unfortunately I think there would be a good bit of adjustments needed here and I haven’t tried it so I’m not sure exactly what would need to be done. I’m sorry. 😔
Este pastel parece muy rico .Pero es un poco difícil hacerlo .Para eso prefiero comprarlo en una panadería
Everything went according to plan, BUT why did mine sink in the middle slightly? I used a 9 x 13 baking dish which the batter filled to perfection. It wasn't easy getting that gel food coloring to dissolve. I still saw tiny bits of it in the batter. I figure the bits really won't show in such a dark cake...hopefully.
O no! I’m so sorry to hear this! It may have just needed another minute or two in the oven. 😔
@@SugarSpunRun No, I didn't want to leave it in the oven any longer because I was afraid it might turn out dry.
Anyway, everyone LOVED the cake. I managed to score a small slice and they were right. It was spectacular, a keeper. People were throwing me kisses. Not a single crumb was left in my 9 x 13 dish. One of the ladies asked me to make the exact same cake for next week's meeting. Personally, I prefer to try some of your other cakes. As a matter of fact, I'm going in search of one right after this comment.
BTW, the gel coloring DID dissolve but there were little specks of undissolved cocoa throughout the cake (nobody cared). The only thing I can think went wrong was that I didn't beat the batter enough. I was concerned about beating it too much making the cake tough. There's even a possibility it was cacao instead of cocoa (I don't know if there's a difference). It was given to me in a ziplock bag by a friend. Maybe next time, I'll add it to the buttermilk instead.
Well, thanks a bunch for the great work on this recipe.
Week 2 and the ladies are still raving about your red velvet cake.
Such a great cake and such a beautiful woman
Would i be able to half this recipe? 🍰
Sure thing! :)
Will this recipe work if baked in 8 inch heart-shaped pans? I'd like to do this for Valentine's Day, and will trace the parchment paper to the heart shape.
What would be your suggestions for adding a bit of decoration to a Valentine's red velvet cake?
It will work in a heart shaped pan, but I'm not sure of the capacity of that pan so you will most likely have excess batter. Don't overfill your pan. I'm not sure on the bake time. I think I would do varying shades of red and pink and use different tips to pipe decorations on top. I will be sharing a post next week on basic decoration of a cake that may be helpful. :)
@@SugarSpunRun Thank you! I'm thinking I would be better off getting the 9 inch pans, then. Wilton has 8, 9, and 10 inch pans, all 2 inches deep. I think the 10 inch might be too much, though.
In the video, you used All-Purpose flour, will using Self-Rising Flour make any noticeable difference?
Yes! Do not use self-rising flour here.
Great, thank you...I've just started baking and am having a blast. You're recipes are awesome and easy to follow. God Bless
Suscrita y mi like y comentario 😊💫💫💫 gracias quiero hacer este pastel , se ve tan suave y húmedo omg delicioso 😋
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the cake! ☺️
@@SugarSpunRun 🙂🤩💫💫
yessssss ive been waiting for this!!!
I hope you love it! :)
Sugar Spun Run I love ALL YOUR WORK!! Ofc I’ll love 💕!!!
I appreciate your support. 😊😊
Does the cake have to be stored in the fridge if making the day before due to the cream cheese? And can I add sour cream to the cake batter or does that not work with the buttermilk?
There is no cream cheese in this cake, but with the frosting, whether you use ermine or cream cheese frosting, I would recommend refrigeration. I wouldn't recommend adding sour cream with the buttermilk. You will end up messing with your ratios and I'm not sure it would turn out quite the same.
@@SugarSpunRun Thank you so much! I normally make cakes the day before and am always concerned with whether to put it in the fridge or not and whether to ice it the same day or not
Hi Sam! Can i use a two 6” pans with this recipe? and does the time of baking is need an adjustment if i use the 6” pans? Thank you and I can’t wait to try this recipe for my mom’s Birthday and also the stuffed cookies!
You can use your 6 inch pans, but this recipe will make enough for three 6 inch pans so make sure you don't overfill the pans. I'm not sure on the bake time but it will definitely be reduced. Be sure to keep an eye on it. :)
@@SugarSpunRun Thank you! This really helps 😊
Ahhhhhh i needed this last week lol but I'm excited for this
I hope you love it! :)
@@SugarSpunRun i normally like your recipes. They are consistent with what you show in your videos
hi thanks for all your tasty receipes,,kindly advice should we use 1 3/4 cup of granulated sugar as on video or 1 1/4 cup as per below written receipe,,thanx
I'm so sorry about that--the recipe is correct, so 1 1/4 cup. I'll make a note in the video about that. Thanks so much for pointing it out!
Omg 🤤 can’t wait to make this !
I hope you love it! :)
Looks delicious!!! Would this recipe work with a Bundt Pan? 😃
Hmmm I haven’t tried it. You probably won’t have quite enough batter but it should bake fine.
@@SugarSpunRun Definitely giving it a try!! 😃
Hi Sam, I have made five of your cakes; one was the red velvet stuffed cheesecake. My family is celebrating a birthday, my so in law is asking for this cake. I cannot find the recipe on your web slight, any chance I can get this.
I don't actually have a red velvet cake with a cheesecake, but you could use this red velvet cake and the cheesecake from my carrot cake cheesecake. :)
This recipe looks delicious! Can't wait to try it with the ermine frosting.
What is the purpose for the white vinegar? Do you use it in other cake recipies?
Thank you! The vinegar is a classic red velvet cake ingredient. It adds a slightly tangy flavor 😊
@@SugarSpunRun Thanks!
How do I double this recipe
