My wife will really appreciate this video. She loves to bake cakes and I think this will be added in her list.

[@BobBies1960]

I tried it baking myself. And it's just so perfect. Thanks Jen for posting this video.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Thanks so much Karen! I'm glad you're spreading the cake to Brazil!!

[@MrRaiSahaab]

Thanks a lot for this video!!!!! I'm a 18 year old guy and I made it for the birthday of my nephew (who just became 1) I totally nailed it in the first attempt and everyone loved it!!!! Superb recipe :-D

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

That is fabulous! I'm so happy to hear your friends and family like it. Thanks for watching!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

wow! thank you for saying that and i hope you enjoy baking as much as I do!

[@maureenthefirst1]

Lovely video. It is after 9PM where I am so I will bake this cake tomorrow. It looks so yummy. I like the buttermilk so much more than the oil that some use. Ugh! Who wants a cake full of oil? Not me. Thanks again.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

That is absolutely great!! Glad it worked out for you. Thanks for letting me know, have a great day!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I'm a kindergarten teacher, so I took that. I'm self taught when it comes to baking.

[@onnarashiladee11]

Im from singapore, and i made this cake together with your cream cheese frosting and .... IT TURNS OUT GREAT! Made this for like quite a number of times cause my family and friends keep requesting for it. Thank you for sharing the recipe! ;)

[@nurulatiqah1330]

I can't believe this, I still apply ur recipes since in my college time now am refreshing again and gonna bake it for my first born 💕

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I'm glad you stick around!

[@LegendaryMaria]

This is THE BEST recipe eeeever! I made it like four times now and love love love love love it. Great video, thanks!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Great! Thanks for watching!

[@AdrienneCM10]

I used this recipe, two batches, for a 12" round birthday cake and everyone loved it! Great texture, so yummy. This is my new go-to red velvet recipe! Thanks Jenn, it's amazing.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Adrienne Turner I'm so glad you liked it that much!!

[@TheKserwin]

When I was about ten years old, I came across a recipe for a red velvet cake and decided to make it. Well, we didn't have any red food coloring, but we did have GREEN (McCormicks Brand). It tasted just fine but was a very unappetizing color -- think baby diaper change. That is one of my earliest (& funniest) baking memories.

[@jackiethegoldenjackal]

Cool i tried making choclate failed misrebly but it still tasted delicious and the was no unnatural sugar inside so it was healthy choclate in a way

[@exosyee9817]

you know what jenn? you're the best!! I've tried this recipe and it turned out perfect! the cake was soft and delicious, plus this is my first time baking a red velvet cake that i just couldn't believe that i made it so well 😂 thanks to you! 💛

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

exo syee Thanks so much for leaving such a wonderful comment!! I really appreciate you watching! Congrats on the success.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

it is my personal opinion that cream cheese icing goes best with red velvet, but obviously you can put whatever icing you want on your cake. and again, obviously, you can put whatever dye you want in the cake.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I hope you like it!! Your channel looks delciously yummy too!!! I'm off to watch some of your videos :) Thanks for stopping by!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

cake flour has cornstarch mixed in with it...makes cakes light and fluffy.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Great! Happy birthday...I hope you have a great day...and great cake!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, it does, but we also have a video specifically on RV Cupcakes too.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

You need to use vinegar as it reacts with the baking soda to act as a leveling agent. You could try a different vinegar if need be, but I recommend using white.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, and we also have a video up on RV cupcakes

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

If you're thinking of substituting something like splenda, yes...and it usually measures cup for cup.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Getting cakes made from scratch is an investment in the baker/decorator's time and fresh ingredients....I know as I am one :) I hope you get some use from this recipe.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Thanks so much Jessica!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

It's called "inVideo programming" in your KZbin settings.

[@sweathearts355]

you are very good at explaining and making cakes. Well Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@claudiaroitman511]

Yummm I am making this for a wedding cake order next week Cookies Cupcakes and Cardio as my other wedding cake order with your from scratch vanilla cake was very successful!! love your vids! thanks for sharing

[@karenrferraz]

Just wanted to say I made this cake for my birthday, and my friends loved it so much! I live in Brazil and red velvet isn't a very popular cake here, I never had it since I moved here. So thank you so much, it was perfect! And I love your channel :))

[@LuckyCharms2407]

You're a lifesaver! I have to make a cake for today ( it's almost 3 am lol) and I just wanted to have a nap in the afternoon but woke up when stores were closed already and I didn't had any buttermilk -_-

[@ABeeerSA]

you can make your own butter milk by adding a tbspn of white vinegar or lemon juice into a cup of milk. let it stay for 5-10mins and taadaa

[@LuckyCharms2407]

That's why I said she's a lifesaver cuz she mentioned it in the video:) Thank you anyways

[@tamarabrooke3536]

even though i usually hate lengthy videos, i really enjoy watching u bake, and i always watch it to the very end

[@sergiolcurbelo]

my favorite cake is red velvet i always make the one from the box but with this recipe i will be able to bake one for my family thank you for that recipe you the best. from puerto rico you have a new fan here.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

yes, because you need the vinegar's reaction with the baking soda. if you're worried about having too much vinegar, use lemon juice in your milk instead (1 tbsp/cup)

[@TheClaudiaFrancesca]

Every time I watch this channel, I get really hungry and it gives me an excuse to make these cakes! They're amazing!:-)

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Great! Glad you liked it.

[@shreyasehgal4376]

Omg thanks for telling me how to make buttermilk!!! All the other recipes say sourmilk or buttermilk but I don't have either so thank u so much

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes vinegar is necessary as it's reaction with the baking soda is what causes the cake to rise/lighten.

[@xinzhang7242]

awesome! i tried this recipe, then did it with blue and it came up with this beautiful vibrant colour

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes..and I line them with wax paper as well as non-stick spray.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

No, it's not too heavy....as long as you're not putting an extremely thick layer of it...which would cause stress to any cake.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, you can.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Great! Glad to hear you like it!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

thanks! we love making videos, so keep watching...especially for our 100 Video Contest!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I'll add that to my list of video to make ... thanks!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

You sure can! If you have time VOTE for us to win KZbin’s OnTheRise program. Go to our main page and watch the VOTE video for details!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

absolutely! enjoy!

[@sydneygarr8990]

I've made this before it is AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING

[@Me5nevi]

Jen, this is amazing! Thank you so much! All your recipes I've seen so far are so clear and easy to follow :)

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Take 1 cup of regular flour, take out 2 tablespoons of the flour. Add two tablespoons of cornstarch. This will give you 1 cup of cake flour.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

im assuming english and american granulated sugar are the same (i lived in london for a year, and i don't remember it being different). Do you have white wine vinegar? you could try that? or maybe even rice vinegar.

[@jordanroberts4207]

I love red velvet cake it is so very good and I am going to make one today with my Dad

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

It will change the flavour and texture a bit, but yes you can substitute that.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, you will have to halve everything. Enjoy!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

thanks so much for subscribing...and yep, running my own bakery business has definitely NOT been good for the waistline. Thanks for the upbeat comments!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

ya, i thought it was kind of interesting too! thanks so much for watching! enjoy :)

[@confusedsoul925]

tried this recipe and it was awesome.. I followed it to the core.. thank you so muchhh.. I made a red velvet cake recipe from a blog last time and it turned out to be a disaster but this was amazing.. and my family loved it :)

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, the dye is optional, but if you don’t use it, your cake will only have a very slight shade of red.

[@shyammaya]

Hi Jennifer I made this cake for my daughters birthday n it came out perfect.Thank you so much keep up the good work. Gr. Maya

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

No, it is personal preference as to how you decorate the cake.

[@Monteiro75]

Fantastic...i live it...Because of you explanation i well do This in Lisboa, Portugal in my Shop...thank you ...you are a Pro.

[@liyaisabel9009]

This is my favorite videos because I love how inspiring it is to make your own version of it it gives you great Ideas its very creative and personly I love to bake and I've learned a lot from Jen so Ty

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, you can, but if you're interested in seeing how easy it is to make cake flour, check out our video on how to do it yourself...it's super easy and can be used in a pinch.

[@yairethnaiomi7725]

thankyou so much! I made this step-by-step, my first cake made from scratch and it was delicious.

[@beadydani]

Great recipe, methinks I will be making this for Afternoon tea with friends, Thanks for a yummy-lious video. A very chuffed London girl💜

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Thanks so much for watching! I hope you're enjoying the cakes :)

[@lilyshandarts]

Hi there.. I did this recipe last night and it turn out wonderful. Definitely, this will be my go to recipes.. Thanks l..

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Cake flour has the addition of cornstarch, which makes it lighter and fluffier for baked goods :) We have a video up on how to make your own if you are interested...it's super easy!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, you can use gel...which is the same as what is used in the video

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Use bake even strips on your pans to prevent doming ... or just level your cake with a long knife after it's baked.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

You're welcome! Glad it helped!

[@aisscream6763]

Magnifique j'adore vous regarder cuisiner c'est de l'art!!!! Thank you for all your recipes

[@asialomas874]

This video is so amazing, I was thinking about doing different colors of velvet cakes.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, definitely!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

There are many conversion sites on the web I'm sure you can find one really quickly if you look.

[@donnamartin4239]

Good to know you can create butter milk with normal milk and a bit of lemon juice. I find it such a pain to get hold of proper butter milk. This cake looks delicious and I'm looking forward to trying out your recipe.

[@mountaingirl3437]

Thank you for sharing your recipe for Red Velvet Cake. It's a family favorite in my home :) I'm sure they'll love and appreciate the homemade version over the box version.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes.

[@ylemonjoj3360]

I tried it with lemon juice and it worked :)

[@charmainemdledle9417]

Hi Jen, I really love your style of teaching. You are clear, to the point, and offer great tips. I'm impressed. Kee up with the good work. Regards Shubi

[@selinajohnson1758]

I was looking at your tutorial and a cake look really good so I want to try it.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

The temp and time is stated in the video....cake flour is best, but you could also use AP flour

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

For this recipe yes.

[@bdwilliams56]

Thks, I was trying to figure out how to make it for a long time

[@MysticKintoun]

Loved your video! It was straight to the point and showed every step of the process. Can't wait to try this recipe on my own :)

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Glad you think so :) Thanks for watching

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, I believe it is!

[@guigao0]

Thank you for this video. Made this recipe for a get together dinner w/ some friends and they absolutely loved it. I will definitely be doing more recipes from this channel :)

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Guilherme Mello Glad you liked it! Hope you like the other ideas as well.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

no, you need the reaction of the baking soda with the vinegar as the final step.

[@BarbGhig]

I'm a new subie (via Kristina Werner), and I just wanted to say thanks for this video! Great recipe and beautiful cake!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

You can...just make sure it is all incorporated before baking.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

awesome!! glad you were successful :)

[@koppsr]

love your recipes, made from scratch, not instant-cake-mixes ^^ some of the ingredients are a bit difficult to come by here but its always worth it :)

[@xolio1993]

actually, you CAN mix the baking soda into the dry since when everything is mixed, the vinegar and baking soda will react in the mix anyway

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

The salt compliments the sweet in the recipes....makes the sweet seem more "there". There are some other science components to it, but in cakes/cupcakes its mostly for flavour.

[@ManuelCastro-jv6ps]

Que Rico se ve el Pastel!!! Me encanta ver tus vídeos Soy un Gran Fan, Saludos desde México :)

[@alyssafay92]

I really like that spatula! :)
