Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   Mix sifted flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat the butter for 2 minutes, then add the sugar and beat.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat eggs with vanilla and coloring.

5. STEP 5

   

   Stir the whipped butter and sugar into the flour. Add buttermilk to flour. If you don’t have buttermilk, prepare it, pour 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar into kefir - 1.5 cups. leave the spoon for 10 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add egg mixture with dye. And soda slaked with apple cider vinegar.

7. STEP 7

   

   Mix well. If you see that there is not enough dye, add it. (Dilute the dry dye with some water and mix it into the dough).

8. STEP 8

   

   Line the pan with parchment paper and grease with oil.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour out 1 part of the dough. The pan needs to be raised above the table and thrown (2-3 times) so that excess air comes out and the cake then bakes evenly. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees. You can bake 1 cake and then cut it. Time and temperature are approximate, be guided by the characteristics of your equipment.

10. STEP 10

    

    Prepare the cream. Whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla. Then add soft cream cheese and mix. Place in the refrigerator. It is necessary that the cream does not spread when spread.

11. STEP 11

    

    Leave the finished cake to cool. It is necessary for the biscuit to compact, then it will be easier to cut it. Bake the second part of the dough.

12. STEP 12

    

    After cooling completely, divide each cake into 2 more layers. This will make 4 cakes. But you can leave 2. Coat with cream so that the thickness of the cream is approximately 1 cm and separates the red cakes well.

13. STEP 13

    

    We also coat the entire cake with cream on top. There is no need to decorate further, the red velvet cake is ready. But, if this is not enough for you, you can draw roses along the edges and decorate with red berries. Or, after baking, you can cut off part of the biscuit, crumble it, and apply crumbs in the center or along the edges - like an imitation of velvet. There is already room for your imagination.
