Best Ever Red Velvet Layer Cake Recipe! | Cupcake Jemma

[@fatwajackal]

Hi just made this cake and I have to say it is the best red velvet recipe I have ever used !! I’m a chef of 23 years and felt compelled to leave this comment . AMAZING recipe from an amazing baker 🙌

[@davidalexander9214]

The red originally came from the reaction between the anthocyanin in the cocoa reacted with the baking soda and turned reddish. Nowadays cocoa is generally processed in a way that means this does not happen.

[@chinkrisbe1508]

I genuinely think why put the red colour in!!! Thanks for the explanation ^_^

[@nivrrtakr2891]

Thanks for this😍😍😉

[@marilyntchatch6801]

But before they used beet juice for red food coloring

[@fathima737]

great explanation :)

[@MovingT5]

What’s the cocoa powder to purchase pls?

[@orlandoT98]

I`m a culinary student and don`t have the money to buy your merch but I do make sure to watch every ad on your channel. Hopefully, that`s enough to help your channel. PS: Loved the Red Velvet Cake 😍

[@CupcakeJemma]

That's awesome! Hahah. Thank you xxx

[@masha7377]

Same haha (although economics, not culinary), also for Alex, the French Guy Cooking :D

[@afunctional-space]

I watch all the ads too!

[@pinkybear7692]

just made the cake with this recipe, it's incredible!!!!! i've got thousands of compliments already, everyone just loves it!! my sister usually doesn't eat my cake but this one, she gave me a high five!! love it so much, thanks for the recipe jenna! 💞

[@iBakaRanger]

I can't say how much I love this channel just because the measurements are given in metric system. Thanks for the recipe! Subscribed~

[@Sharp90210]

The wife and I made this recipe for a birthday party, and it turned out amazing!! Actually better than what we’ve had in restaurants! Thanks Jemma! You’re amazing!!!

[@anateles3616]

I did this recipe yesterday 🤩🤩🤩 it was perfect! Apart from the icing it was good but few minutes after started decorate the cake, the icing was melting, maybe put in the fridge for few minutes before decorating would be easier, after I left the cake in the fridge it was perfect ! My friends loved! And I was so proud of myself, it was my first time baking and decorating a cake. It did take 3h, but in the end worth it!

[@thabisoluh4016]

Make sure your have fully cooled before icing

[@kathunter8058]

My house smells SOOOO good right now. I actually asked to make my own bday cake this year because I've had so much success with your recipes for family members and I've always wanted to make red velvet. I'm so excited about this. I did split the batter in half and do red and purple for the color, but other than that, no changes. So happy with this!

[@aalleyne2484]

Ive made this recipe& i can promise you it is perfect! First time trying it& no faults. Tastes delicious, not too sweet not to bland, just right👌🏾 It's soft and moist. You will definitely be able to use this recipe for cakes, cupcakes, cake pops, cake jars etc... will 100% recommend:) Gemma thanks for sharing your recipe, youre a life saver lol x

[@shuvanidev]

I've never used cream cheese frosting on red velvet cake, the recipe I got back in the day used boiled milk or ermine frosting and I love it on red velvet's, it's delicious :)

[@Emmbeekay]

I have used your cupcake recipe for ages now and every time people compliment the texture and flavour. I ordered my son’s birthday cake from you this year and had a fan moment outside your wandsworth head quarters which is a stones throw from my house. Love love love you and your cakes xxxxx

[@minasmaa2860]

I have to admit, I was worried that this cake might be dense, but after making it and following everything to the ‘T’, this cake was absolutely scrumptious! It was light, fluffy and everything you’d want! I made it for my family and after persistent demand had to make it again the next week. Stay Safe guys!

[@Hannah-ng5qs]

I accidentally overmixed this the last time I made it which did make it dense but it surprisingly still tasted delicious

[@mitchellashley62]

I have been making red velvet cake for years and the tip about the apple cider vinegar and the baking soda was very helpful! My cake came out taller than usual and was twice as moist! Thanks!

[@itsmewende]

My Aunt use to make this cake for me every yr for my birthday, as it was my fave, this recipe is pretty much the same except her recipe calls for making a paste of the coloring with the cocoa. I'm 60 now an my Aunt is long gone, but I remember enjoying that cake like it was yesterday....edited to mention, she used boiled icing to top it off

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

I love how you used the cake crumbs to decorate! So easy!

[@Comptonisa]

Cooking Lessons for Dad it's the way it's ment to be

[@kristinabenson2758]

That is the most common way of decorating a red velvet, never mess with perfection! 😋

Tqvm jemma. U have very kind heart to share ur precious recipe

[@virdaa.8094]

Made this for my sister's birthday..it was a huge hit! Finished in minutes!

[@theunicahijaph]

I’ve been waiting for this for YEARS and it’s finally here. I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy about seeing a baking video 😭

[@immarkhan8286]

I’m so happy with how mine turned out, I decided to use some purple food colouring because why not, and made a 3 layer cake

[@darcy9435]

Sounds good :) what size pan did you use?

[@immarkhan8286]

Darcy to be honest I’m not really sure my mum bought them for me, one was a really big one I’d say 30cm then the other was a medium sized which I think would be 20cm and the last one on top was I think 10cm, they came together

[@VideoRicetta]

Bellissima e sicuramente buonissima questa torta nella tua interpretazione! Grazie mille!

[@carolinasammartino3096]

Jemma, me and my 6 years old boy made this cake today. Absolutely incredible flavours! Thank you so much for your channel

[@FasterThanLina]

Made this cake for my mother-in-law’s birthday and it was a success! Everyone loved the cake and i even made the frosting purple since it was her favorite color.

[@Mysterywoman50]

Brilliant! Can I bake in one 10 inch pan? For how long and at what T? Will it rise enough to cut it to 3 layers? And...is that cake moist enough so it doesn't need extra moisture? Thank youuuu! 😘

[@ntmn8444]

Your channel is fantastic. You're a professional, you obviously use high quality ingredients to produce your cakes, and the standard to which you all hold yourselves is astounding. I can't think of better teachers. You've elevated my baking to the next level! Thank you so much!

[@TutuAdebesin]

Your cream cheese receipe has made my day. I have tried several recipes but left me frustrated. Your receipe is the stiffest cream cheese that I have ever come across. So thank you so much Jemma

[@H4biCh4n]

Thanks sooooo much Jemma! My experience with baking red velvet has always been that it tastes great but it's... brown despite varying amounts of liquid food colouring (last time it was a whole bottle and bitter). It is now RED because I used the extra red paste instead. It just came out of the oven but I'm sure it tastes great too haha.

[@beepbop3600]

Jemma,you're the one who brought me into baking..Thank you so much for all your recipes. PS:Hoping to make the RED VELVET soon

[@annienriquez_]

hello! how about the sweetness, isn’t too sweet?

[@emiliaj7375]

@@annienriquez_ Its perfect. It might seem like a lot of sugar, but I think it really contributes to the taste. Cream cheese frosting makes the taste balanced.🙂

[@BigGen222]

Thank you for explaining why you alternate the wet and dry ingredients; I have wondered why but have never been able to find out.

[@pradnyaw9716]

Hows the cheese cream? Did it melt after sometime? Do we need to freeze it for sometime?? Can you share your experience??

[@cindy-4052]

@@pradnyaw9716 sorry late reply since my notifications were not working, the icing did not melt because I kept it in the fridge when my cake was still baking, I made sure my butter were cold and not soft since my kitchen is very hot/humid. If your icing is melting on the cake/in the mixing bowl then I advise you to put the whole thing in your fridge until it’s cold enough to continue your icing. I hope this helps!

[@cl0udtears]

Please never stop making videos, you make the best ones for baking ❤️

[@RachelBuxton]

Hi Jemma. Love your videos and working my way through watching every one. Can you answer this question? Some other bakers on KZbin douse their cakes in sugar syrup, but you don’t? What’s the advantages and disadvantages of using the sugar syrup? Are their particular cakes it should be used on, and some cakes it definitely shouldn’t? I never know whether I should use it or not, and the fear of ruining a cake, either way, is putting me off baking big fancy cakes xx love from up North xx

[@aishailyas5702]

Would the amounts for the cream cheese icing ingredients be enough for if I wanted to cover the whole cake with it or would I have to double or triple it?

it should be enough for a thin layer

Can cornflour be substituted for like half or more of all of that icing sugar?! (Because they have the same texture) I want to make this cake but that’s cream cheese frosting is faaaaar to sweet for my liking. Plus, there are diabetics in my family xx

[@annikacerejo9389]

I tried this recipe, and it turned out great! but I agree, even though I used less sugar, the icing was waaaayyyy too sweet im not sure if u can use cornflour though, because it has a weird taste if used in a large quantity

[@shaz185]

Annika Cerejo Yeah true... and I read in the comments on one of the many cake videos that I watch, that you shouldn’t put raw flour or cornflour in buttercream, so I guess that’s a know... I’ve seen a buttercream called ermine which has less sugar, probably because it also uses cooked flour x

My oven can fit only two tins at once so I always end up leaving my batter out till each layer is baked. Nothing changes in the texture, they all turn out good! Leave it out - it will not be an issue. Don’t leave it out for more than 2 hours tho!

[@robynjohnson1283]

Hi Cupcake Jemma, I am planning to make this for my daughter's birthday. Do you think it would be possible to marble the batter from this recipe into a sponge (butter cake) batter for one layer? I am wondering if the texture/density is the same or similar enough for marbling to work. Thanks - love your work!
