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~

[@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! 😋

[@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 :)

[@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

[@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!!!

[@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

[@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

[@shikinsaerah]

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

[@VideoRicetta]

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

[@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!

[@melitarolihpolajzer3340]

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! 😘

[@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

[@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!

[@virdaa.8094]

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

[@marcelamoukacher4679]

Hi Jemma. Could you please let me know how many times should i make this recipe for 10” cake tin and 12” cake tin please? Many thanks x

[@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

[@xeverinotroenodikromo5122]

I've tried many other redvelvet recipes and non of them are as good as this one!! Thank you for sharing it with us jemma! ❤🍰🎉

[@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

[@nadiaamaral3463]

Made this recepie for my husband's birthday and everyone loved it. Thank you so much 😊

[@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.

[@myatadekeye8160]

Heya! Love you recipes! Can I ask if I was to do 2x 8" tin, how long would I bake it for and at what temperature please? Thank you!! xx

[@ashleydludlu4407]

Cupcake Jemma will home made butter milk work just as well and beet puree for the coloring?

[@natskieloveslife4368]

I just love her very straight forward. I will definitely bake this cake recipe the soonest.

[@shannonnunnes5558]

Not sure if this has been asked before or not... what is recommended to do if you do not have 4 tins? Should the batter be refrigerated until the other cakes are cooled and you can reuse the same tins? Can it sit out? Also, can this recipe be doubled? Thanks! I’m kind of new here and I’ve decided to go on a spree of trying everything you’ve put out! 💕💕

[@anitadhm_]

no. it needs to be put in ASAP because of the raising agents

[@nelumfernando5407]

Hi Jemma.what is the difference adding vegetable oil and not adding to a red velvet cake?I love your cakes..I'm a bit confused some people adding it..this is my first time doing red velvet cake..

[@LittlePonny4965]

Hi Jemma, how can I make just 2 layers? Is the recipe devided two? Thank you before 😊

[@rushmerest]

Hi, I would like to try this for a birthday cake, can I use 3 x 8" tins (so just 3 layers) using same ingredients?

[@sdol2348]

I added 1/2 of each ngredient onto original recipe.This worked for 4 8" tins

[@bdclean4854]

Hi Jemma, Congratulations on the birth of your baby... can I half this mixture as I only need to make a 6inch cake?

[@sarahmcneice105]

I love that you explained a bit more about the cake science and history, educational and yummy!

[@su-786]

This not only looks so good, it tastes absolutely delicious! When I made this cake everyone loved it! What's not to love 😋

[@vanessanoboa4569]

What chocolate should I use? I use cacao powder (very dark) for my chocolate cake but I feel like this cake might use milk chocolate (used for pudding and mousse)? Thanks love your videos!

[@anagraca5575]

Hi that looks Amazing. Can I use 2 20cm cake tins??? Thank you xx

[@shahbanabhatti8926]

Hi Jemma, If i were to cover the cake in buttercream what would be the quantity for that? thanks! looking forward to making this cake in a few days!!

[@yusraahmad2873]

Hey jemma I simply love your baking. Really enjoy to see you making yumlicious things. I want to know that if we want to make 2 layered red valvet cake do we need to cut the ingredients half???

[@bdclean4854]

yusra ahmad hello... did you half the ingredients? Did it still work, as I only want to make a 6in cake.

[@lizethgonzalez7583]

If I want to make the half of the recipe, I make half of the vinegar mixture or the exactly amount?

[@AkosDee]

Do you still use sugar flair colour paste or something else? If another, what is it and is it accessible to everyone (as in non-bakers 😅) thank Jemma! Love your vids 😊😊

[@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.

[@janetbenn1328]

Hi is this cake firm enough to ice with fondant ?x

[@christineholland2557]

Hiya can i use this recipe for gluten free by just changing the flour and addingxanthan gum tia x

[@mjuinpasculado8708]

Hi Jemma, can i make use of this recipe to make cupcakes? (Although, you have a different recipe for cupcakes). Thank you.

[@drizzling7548]

Hey Jemma can we use liquid colouring instead of paste? because I am making this for my mum's birthday. Thanks Jemma.

[@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

[@hannabaroncelli8297]

Jemmy my dear I am diabetic so for the cream cheese icing I cut down on the amount of sugar by using half icing swerve and half icing sugar plus gelatine😃 to stiffen the cream cheese icing

[@cindy-4052]

Thank you so much for this recipe Jemma! I tried it out yesterday night and it came out wonderful and delicious! Love your videos! ❤️

[@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!

[@marissafigueroa2586]

Sorry for this silly question but I have to ask..could I use pink instead? I'd like to use it for a gender reveal cake I'll be making but wasn't sure if that'd even be possible if the coco powder is enough to darken the mix..

[@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.

[@sarahmajin5358]

Hello Jemma! Love your baking, haven't tasted any of your pastries tho but they look yummy and simple. Would like to ask: Will using oil instead of butter change the taste of the cup cake? If not what amount should be used? Also is it better to use butter/oil for a red velvet cake? Thanks.

[@Krimpers]

Fabulicous as usual ...can you tell me what make of colour paste you use Tia xx

[@amartaayudianirvani4954]

i've tried your recipe today. the cake is reallyyy nice and delicious!😍 also it's not hard to make. but my cream cheese is too sweet, so it's better if I reduce the sugar. thanks for the recipe🤍

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
