Red velvet is my favorite I love it

[@lovelucily]

I have tried this recipe and it was delicious. Light and fluffy and moist. I didn’t put enough red food color so it wasn’t as red :)

[@elizabethbrown8096]

[@AmericanBaker]

I need to try this one. I haven't found a red velvet cake I'm in love with yet.

[@jasminedavis7236]

Have you tried this red velvet recipe yet?

[@AmericanBaker]

@@jasminedavis7236 not yet. Haven't had an occasion where I needed a red velvet cake yet. It will be the next time I need one, though.

[@ummy_zara]

@@jasminedavis7236 I did it's good

[@raymensoin8010]

well explained steps👍 cn we use half oil n half butter?! in the cake

[@Chelsweets]

You totally can!! If you plan to make it in a bowl by hand, I recommend melting the butter, so that it easily incorporates into the batter ❤️❤️❤️

[@maryammohammed6754]

I made this cake today but the color is way different i use the super red gel food color from chefmaster but it turned brown red !!!! I did all the tips u were talking about

[@mariliaviana4055]

Your videos are amazing!

[@Chelsweets]

[@nitaspastries]

Hi Chelsea. Very detailed recipe. Can I use cake flour. Instead of all purpose flour.

[@hmongcakechannel6522]

made this receipe it was soo moist :D

[@suzanelima6299]

Love love love.. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Chelsweets]

Thank you Suzane!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@black.rose.books123]

I'm going to use this recipe for my red velvet cake!

[@dollysdzyns4949]

Hi love,can I use the same recipe for cupcakes

[@aryannasampath1418]

“Comes together in one bowl”, (has a million bowls around the bowl)

[@ish8678]

It’s makes it easier for her to film if she has all ingredients measured

[@shannongeorge1168]

And coming together in one bowl means not mixing the wet ingredients in another bowl and the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. It is all just done in one big bowl.

[@ummy_zara]

This looks amazing I m definitely going to try it👍

[@Johal-fm5fi]

Was it good

[@ummy_zara]

@@Johal-fm5fi yes it was Very good

[@valeriemeza4080]

Hi ! I just found your channel and am amazed at your beautiful cakes! I was wondering if I could use two 8 inch rounds for this recipe ?

[@theapan4889]

I would recommend looking up some useful cake batter conversion charts for future reference in case this question comes up again (if you bake, it almost certainly will). I think the conversion is one 8 inch cake = two 6 inch cakes, but I'm not sure for 7 inches. I think 2 8-inch should do just fine? but yeah you should def try printing one of those charts and stick it on your fridge if you bake a lot.

[@ericamartin7590]

Amazing! do you use lowfat or whole buttermilk?

[@rubytetteh4529]

Wow so beautiful. Can it be covered in fondant? Can it take the weight of fondant? And also how many days can the cake sit without being in fridge? Thank you❤

[@anabelcontreras565]

Does this cream cheese butter cream last a while in room temperature ? & how does it hold up?

[@edithavilez3536]

Hi Chelsea, I’m planning on making this recipe and a pink velvet cake. Would I omit the cocoa powder or keep it and add a little extra pink food coloring? Also, on the video you used 11/2 c of buttermilk but your recipe states 1 cup. I currently have 2 cups sitting on my counter to get to room temperature but I’m wondering if I need another cup 🤔 I hope you respond to my comment soon, I want to bake them tonight. P.S. I loved your black velvet recipe 😋 Thanks in advance!😀

[@Chelsweets]

The recipe is always the latest and greatest, so follow that!! Sometimes when I go through iterations of recipe testing I tweak things a bit, or change the overall volume of the batter. I always recommend sticking with the recipe. Hope that helps!!

[@rockythomas3399]

How much flower's

[@rockythomas3399]

[@RVC0902]

[@alanalynch8631]

[@helenscakevlog4403]

Love it 😍

[@bethstophel8344]

I am making a naked Red Velvet Cake for a Bridal Shower this coming week. They want 3 to 4 layers to feed 30 people. I was thinking to make 10 inch. How do you recommend doubling this recipe. Or would you recommend making 2 to 3 batches. Thank you!

[@theodoraumogbai8061]

😋 Yum!!

[@Chelsweets]

Thanks Theodora!! ❤️

[@christineholland2557]

Hiya could i use this recipe for a gluten free red velvet by changing the flour and using xathan gum tia x

[@emmawakefield1000]

Hi! I’m really enjoying your videos. I am a fairly new amateur baker and have bought a bunch of food colours that are really good for buttercream (except the red and the black) but are weaker when using them for cake batter. I know you have a link to Amazon for the red colour you used in this video but I can’t work out which one it is.... I am in the UK so not sure if that makes a difference. But I would love it if you could let me know which you use as I would like to buy the same. Thanks so much x

[@datbluekidti]

Can i use cake flour and instead of AP

[@dharnajohari1085]

I checked ur reciepe and i followed it for cake & icing....but my my it was way too sweet for icing ....did u really add 1372 gms of sugar...i am confused

[@sairalin.6556]

Tips on what to do with leftover frosting? Such a beautiful red velvet cake! I’d love to give your recipe a try!! 😋♥️

[@Chelsweets]

I usually just put it in a piping bag and refrigerate it until I make another cake! You can also use it to fill sandwich cookies, or frost cupcakes! :)

[@varbiedarlmejia9247]

I hope I can make this on my birthday

[@amthatdad3450]

My son just asked me last week if I'd make a red velvet cake. Guess I know what I'm baking next.

[@Chelsweets]

yay! hope you love this recipe as much as I did!

[@maeee3456]

hello! for the frosting, did you use heavy cream like it says in the recipe?

[@harisaini6640]

Did u freeze the cake before adding the crumbs for decorating??

[@2010stoof]

So your link for the red show both super red and redred. Which is it?

[@kchasehenson57]

What about making a cream cheese frosting like the Russian buttercream? Is it possible to make it that way with sweetened condensed milk instead of powdered sugar. I love your Channel. I'm now a new subscriber and I rang the bell for all notifications. 💜

[@hexagon8314]

May I know what brand of food color you are using? Thank you

[@figueroasfamilyfunvlogs1646]

On your web page recipe you put 1 cup buttermilk and in the video you said 1 1/2 cup so which one is the correct???????????????

[@peachescollins2302]

She said it in one of the comments that she adjusted it and she prefers to use 1 cup instead.

[@crystalbowie8152]

Can this recipe be used for a bundt pan?

[@jp-yp2ol]

Do you know I have to say you think of it as just having a channel but if you really think about it you’re doing a great thing part of life I wish I can go back and be Young age and do that but take care and thank you about the cake the red velvet was great thank you

[@pervinpurde7740]

Instead of red color, can I add blue color? Is it gonna give me the same result?

[@fasternights297]

yea it does

[@rofiatibrahim4151]

How many cups of oil do u use?

[@samanthaschaffer14]

I wish youtube would let me show you pictures but my batter came out thick like brownie batter and after 35 minutes it still wasn't cooked. Is this due to high altitude?

[@mojos3613]

Can i make this as cupcake? Thank you!

[@katewalsh5954]

I've started baking do you know any places to get equipment

[@aoibhemk7483]

Amazon is great! It has everything! I bake a lot at home and almost all of my equipment is from Amazon!👍 and if u don’t want to use amazon there are always great stores online that have all the same items, u just might have to pay a bit more🤷‍♀️

[@susannaallison4773]

Hi please can you tell me if I can adapt this recipe for a 12 inch cake? Thanxx

[@vikkig87]

If making this into cupcakes, how many would I get and how long would I have to make them for?

[@lasashagreene9927]

Can you do a cheesecake recipe

[@lorenagutierrez8063]

can i make it red instead of pink? tnx

[@mkms1322]

Is it ok if i will add 1 tsp of cocoa powder?

[@kgarduno59]

Hi was wondering can I use powder pure cane sugar for the frosting

[@Chelsweets]

as long as the sugar is refined as much as regular powdered sugar, it should work! I'm not sure what the consistency of powder cane sugar is, I've never worked with it before!

[@figueroasfamilyfunvlogs1646]

Love it!!!😍😋 Can you please tell me wich color exactly did you use and brand? I really want to make it the exact same way your recipe please thank you

[@Chelsweets]

Hi! I always use americolor super red gel food coloring, and I used about 1 1/2 tsp of food coloring!

[@harlemking0810]

I’m trying this recipe out but using three 9 inch layers

[@nyeinayekyi4395]

can i add apple cider vinegar instead of white?

[@Chelsweets]

you can! ❤️

[@luwelleparker]

For a 12 inch layer, how many time would I have to multiply the recipe by?

[@arafahmiti2260]

In the video you said 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk but in your website you wrote 1 cup of buttermilk. I got confused and used 1 cup of buttermilk. Is that ok?

[@evijensen9769]

How much oil you put in ?

[@avnichandra3636]

Hey, what can I substitute eggs with?

[@hjeminex_]

Your Mrs. White daughter right? She’s my art teacher and stem!

[@kanishkasharma3441]

What can i use instead of eggs??

[@anitamanalang118]

Can i have the exact measurement of your ingredients. Pls

[@Couponingwithpay]

I made the Oreo red velvet cake but the batter is so thick. Why is the batter much thicker than this recipe?

[@kirtikamarwaha385]

Can we subsitutie eggs...???

[@Chelsweets]

I haven't tried it with this recipe, but you should be able to swap 1/4 cup of applesauce for each egg a recipe calls for! ❤️

[@JessicaE88]

Did you manage to assemble and decorate with only one batch of this cream cheese frosting? Or did you more then one batch to achieve this result?

[@Chelsweets]

I made 1.5 batches of frosting, and ended up using about 1.25 batches. I always make extra to be safe, then save the leftovers for future baking project :)

[@marie6519]

You never said salt and the recipe says 3 , 6 inch pans and is it three sticks of butter like the recipe says or 4 like you did ?

[@KevinPedrosa]

do you deliver in brazil PLEASE

[@KevinPedrosa]

its for tomorrow BUT NO WORRIES

[@KevinPedrosa]

[@Chelsweets]

haha sadly I don't sell any of my cakes, but I do share the recipes so you can recreate them wherever you live :)

[@virus323g]

HELP!!! I am making this right now, and I have a problem: the recipe says 1 cup of buttermilk, but in the video you say 1 and 1/2, please help!

[@jackiekinyanjui2991]

How many inches deep are your cake pans?

[@Dg-rc6xu]

What can I use instead of buttermilk?

[@kavitabirbal3182]

Mix milk and 1 tbsp of vinegar

[@khrystadavid8403]

In the recipe and on video you say 2 tsp cocoa powder or (8g) but for me 2 tsp is only 3g so I’m confused should I go with 2 tsp or 8 g

[@peachescollins2302]

Add 2 tsp.

[@sedrahmussa2142]

did you put 1 cup of oil or what?

[@christineallsop2003]

Salt? It’s in the recipe but not the video. Also 1 or 1 1/2c buttermilk?

[@Chelsweets]

I mixed my salt in with my flour but forgot to mention it in the video!! I also tinkered around with recipe a touch more, and prefer it will 1 cup of buttermilk. The recipe is always the most accurate / up to date place for my recipes

[@ivorymanalo6226]

What is the measurement of oil?

[@NaomieAkoeba35]

Pls can I have your recipe I want to try pls

[@AssiaZH]

Can i make a wedding cake with this recipe ?

[@drelle504]

Wedding cake can be any flavor you want. My cake was key lime with strawberry filling.

[@leaannfeltner341]

I made this recipe for cupcakes and they sunk in the middle. Can anyone give me a idea of why that happened?

[@mjmariano4951]

Better you have also ingrefients in the description below pls

[@ladadrahale4297]

why you said 4 sticks of butter but you only used 2 and 11 cups of powder sugar

[@peachescollins2302]

She used 4 sticks of butter.

[@brandongomez504]

How much powder sugar did she use in this vid?

[@omolaraolabode]

Thanks for sharing this lovely cake with us but am confused in your presentation you said a cup and the half of buttermilk and in your recipe is started there 1 cup .

[@peachescollins2302]

Yeah she did say 1 1/2 cup and her recipe called for 1 cup. Which is it?

[@jamiesullivan3031]

The cake was really good but my frosting broke and looked like cottage cheese, couldn’t even spread it on the cake 😕

[@deeyajayma4535]

Hey! I recently tried this recipie. It tasted good but it became too much fudgey and not fluffy at all. I put the vinger into buttermilk and after some time i started making this cake. Also i put all the batter into one big cake pan and yeah i live in a hot and humid country. What should i do for getting a fluffy and not fudgey cake?

[@Chelsweets]

Usually if a cake ends up dense, it's because you might be using too much flour (sometimes when you scoop out of a bag you end up packing a lot more flour into the cup than the recipe calls for (by weight), or you may be overmixing! Those are usually the two main culprits for dense cake layers
