Red Velvet Cake

Red Velvet Cake Photography

Red Velvet Cake is a cake with either dark red, bright red or red-brown color. Red Velvet Cake is traditionally prepared as a layer cake topped with cream cheese or icing. Common ingredients include buttermilk, butter, cocoa, and flour for the cake, beetroot or red food coloring for the color. In recent years, red velvet cake and red velvet cupcakes have become increasingly popular in the US, many European countries and now all over the world.

Recently (2-3 months before) I bought the red velvet cake mix from a store and made eggless cake for my kids. My kids loved it so much, and demanded to make it again, so I decided to make it at home to avoid store bought unhealthy mixtures. After researching so many recipes, I made eggless red velvet cake at home, and you can’t believe, it’s so easy, no fail, super moist, eggless and yes very tasty. Now I am very used to making this vibrant colorful red velvet cake whenever kids demand for cake.
