  • A light chocolate cake with lots of addictive cream cheese frosting and a crown of buttercream roses. This cake is moist but so light and fluffy, it really is the perfect match for all that delicious frosting! You can make this without any food coloring and it will be a light tan color, not quite red, but it will be eaten just as quickly!

My mother had her make 2 sheet cakes for after my wedding dance. When she went put out the cakes, only one was there....we never did find out who took (stole) the other red velvet...her cakes were that good! Thanks for the video, the cake is beautiful!

    I made this yesterday for my daughter in law's birthday after reviewing multiple recipes for red velvet cake. Your's seemed most likely to be successful... It was! She loved it! Probably the most tender, delicate cake I've ever made. My husband, not a frosting fan, thought it was delicious and frosting was perfect. I did two 9-inch layers. Baking time in my oven was a little more than 20 minutes as a result. Even though layers weren't terribly domed, I trimmed the tops just a bit. I salvaged and crumbled up those discards for the decoration around the bottom edge of the frosted cake. I didn't bake a separate cupcake. All said, the cake turned out very impressive in looks and taste. 😊 Thank you! BTW, my daughter in law loves your channel too!

    I love red velvet also. Had never heard or it until I was in high school and a family friend would make it for special occasions. She always made it super red so for me that nostalgic deep red seems to make it taste better😀. I also like the oil based version, it's super moist.

    Nicely done. Our family recipe has hint of cherry flavor and hint of almond flavor added to the cake as well and does a butter/béchamel/sugar frosting. It is the best cake ever IMO. I find the traditional cream cheese frosting over shadows the amazing light cake and subtle flavors.

I'm going to do this cake as well, I love that it uses butter instead of oil.

  • @jenieceryan5352

    Hello Preppy. I actually made this cake and it turned out wonderfully... Only change is I had to add extra eggs as our eggs here in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 are very small and I noticed your mixture was more runny than mine. I thought I'd have gotten a pink velvet, but I also realised that with Wilton's gel food coloring, the color darkens when baked. Two thumbs up!!

    Hey John, I just wanted to let you know that there might’ve been a slight mix up in your recipe with ingredients listed, you mentioned here that you used 150 grams of sugar and in the online recipe it says 300, for anyone reading this i believe 150 grams is the correct amount, anything more than that would make the creaming very difficult (i did this twice because of the mix up) so i would say please correct this information🙏

    Try gel colour. Also, ermine frosting is the classic pairing with this cake. Fun video though, I always enjoy watching! Regarding the creamed cheese frosting, there is a technique in the beating process that can make it the most light and fluffy almost like italian buttercream and super easy to work with. It takes a while but totally worth it.

    I love that you showed the "mistake" with the first not-red-enough batch. It would have been really easy to just cut to the remade cakes, but showing that you redid it really helps other amateur bakers to know that mistakes are normal and ok, and even the best bakers mess up sometimes!

    I made this recipe for my boyfriend’s birthday and it was an absolute hit! It was such a beautiful, moist cake and everyone loved it. I think the only thing I’d do differently next time I make this is add more food colouring. I added about two tablespoons but i didn’t use gel food colouring so I think that had an impact?
    Anyway, thank you for this absolutely wonderful recipe. Your recipes are my go to for cakes and bakes and they’re always a crowd pleaser.

    The original frosting for Red Velvet cake isn’t a cream cheese based frosting - it’s milk and flour briefly cooked til thick then refrigerate til cold - then comes the butter, salt and vanilla. And I strongly recommend using a high power stand mixer because this frosting breaks then comes back together after several mins .
    Oh and for the red food colouring, use 2 1oz bottles of food colouring not 1 2oz bottle and yes there is a major diff in the outcome. The 1oz bottles always makes a deep DEEP rich dark red crumb whereas the 2oz bottle generally makes a dark pink to light red .

      Is that the frosting called Ermine frosting ?🤔 I've heard that one is made with cooked flour🤷.

    i literally just used this recipe and video to make my first cake, i dont know where i went wrong but my icing is soo runny, made a huge mess in the kitchen and got a word or two from mum, but tasted too good, i ate the dough mix, someone said ill get food poisoning, i feel fine now, waiting for the cake to come out of the fridge to eat so ill tell you if i die, i made a cupcake too but didnt crumble it up. ended up eating it, also mine looks brown. not red. i used a whole tube of red gel

      If you are from the U.K and you used Philadelphia then you'd be be better off using Cupcake Jemmas recipe for cream cheese icing, as for red colouring a concentrated gel colouring is best or sugar flair colour paste you can order from Amazon or eBay.

    I am so thankful for the science tips you gave along the way! Im a science geek/educator. Life is so much better when we understand the WHY. Lol! I started making homemade bread a few months ago. Before that time I didn’t know anything abt diff types of flour, never mind, what a gluten network was. 😂 I’m 42 yrs old, have been baking since childhood & never understood WHY baking ingredients were combined or creamed together in a certain order & in different ways, until today, thanks to you! Hallelujah! Baking is actually making some sort of sense to me now. I never realized until your video why it would be important to combine flour at the very end! The biggest lightbulb went off when I heard you say that now thatI ama bread maker! Of course, we don’t want to activate the gluten! 🤣 Yes, yes, yes! Also love your tips about acidic ingredients, and low & slow tip abt frosting. You’re awesome! I am definitely watching more of your videos! Thank you much! 💕🙏🏼🤩

    I’ve been subscribed for quite a while, but I have never actually tried any of your recipes until yesterday. Everything you makes looks like absolute perfection, but I’m such a terrible baker. I tried your Devil’s Food Cake recipe with chocolate buttercream, and oh my goodness! It was the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had! I wanted to tag you in a picture of the cake I made on Instagram, but I was too embarrassed. It genuinely is the ugliest cake I have ever seen. What’s worse is that I made it for my partner’s grandma’s 80th birthday. I felt awful, but no one cared because it tasted sooooo good! My partner’s favorite cake is red velvet, so I’m going to use this recipe for his birthday next month. I can’t wait!
