Ingredients for Red Velvet Cake
⅔ cup (140 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cup (400 g) sugar
2 large large eggs, at room temperature
2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract
2 ½ cup (375 g) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (32 g) regular cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
1 tsp (3 g) baking soda
½ tsp (2 g) baking powder
¼ tsp (1 g) salt
1 ½ cup (375 g) buttermilk, at room temperature
1 ½ (22 ml) Tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp red food colouring paste (preferred over liquid colour)*
Ingredients for Frosting
1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 ½ pkg (12-oz or 340 g)) cream cheese, at room temperature
4 cup (520 g) icing sugar, sifted
1 ½ tsp (7 ml) vanilla extract
Directions - Cake
1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175 C). Grease two 8-inch square pans and line the pans with parchment so that it comes up the sides as well.
2. Using electric beaters or in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth, then add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beating well after each addition, beat in the vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add this alternately with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour. Stir the white vinegar and food colour together and add this to the cake batter on low speed, but mixing until blended in. Scrape the batter into the prepared pans and spread to level.
4. Bake the cakes for about 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes in their pans for 20 minutes, then turn them out to cool completely.
Frosting
1. For the frosting, beat the butter until fluffy, then beat in the cream cheese until well blended and smooth. Add the icing sugar in 2 additions, beating first on low speed and then increasing. Beat in the vanilla.
2. To assemble the cake, place the first layer of cake on your platter or plate and spread a generous amount of frosting on the top. Top this with the second cake layer and frost the top and then the sides. Use your spatula to create any swirls or patterns you wish, then chill for at least 2 hours before slicing to serve.

[@pekopekoyama2001]

Oh Yum with Anna Olson you’re a inspiration in my life, thank you

[@ttj7502]

@Oh Yum with Anna Olson may I just say I love your channel! But where I’m from aka South Carolina real red velvet cake doesn’t have a chocolatey flavor and the red is a darker but not too dark I would suggest using a bottle of red liquid dye and about a tea spoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and also one and a half cups of vegetable or canola oil and you’re gonna have a real authentic southern red velvet taste😊

[@jhorventuresvlogs3207]

I love how you share your recipes to the public. Theres a conversion of grams too! So much easier

[@ohyum]

What's the point of baking if you don't share? Thank you for watching! :)

[@riamadhuri6587]

For one cake can i just halve all the ingredients?how do you make the buttermilk?

[@kitty6720]

@@riamadhuri6587 I'm sure you can halve the ingredient, if you only want have. I've done that with carrot cake (not her recipe, but CupcakeJemma's recipe), and it turned out just fine. Otherwise the cake is too big for a small family. As for the buttermilk, there are easy recipes online. I think you'll need to add fresh lemon juice or something like that, wait a few minutes, and the buttermilk is ready.

[@SWT_golf]

This recipe is soooo good! I never bake and I made this following instructions and my husband kept asking if I made it myself from scratch? The frosting alone is absolutely delicious. I did end up using one less cup of sugar because I don’t like super sweet frosting and it turned out really well. This is a great recipe! I recommend you try it!

[@novarosita3570]

Does the crumbly of the cake is right? Bcs i've tried so many recipe still cant fine the crumbly cake

[@magugreech]

I have been looking for the perfect red velvet recipe and I finally found it with you! I made it with a little less sugar just because I tend to do it. And colour is perfect.... I was tired of fiding red velvet recipes with too much food colouring. Thank you so much for sharing it!!!

[@Kushninja93]

Another BOMB ASS recipe! Love you Anna! Thank you for setting the bar for aspiring bakers!

[@rachelvillanueva2620]

@@ohyum hi... just to ask coz I followed the measurements of the cream cheese butter but it comes out too sweet... I know there's something wrong... but can u share with me how it will come just fine sweetness taste... thank u

[@user28221]

@Moon Star : very true. Chocolate cake has always been my favorite but Red Velvet cake is a different level. Maybe the unique taste comes from the combination of the cocoa, buttermilk, vinegar and the cream cheese frosting. I think if we use a different kind of frosting, it won't be Red Velvet anymore. It's not the color. I don't even care abt the color. It's the taste. Maybe those who couldn't taste the difference were the unfortunate ones who have tasted a badly made Red Velvet 😉😅.

[@poorvajahatake]

@@rachelvillanueva2620 this is really late but location can affect how a buttercream forms. So don't use the entire amount of sugar as stated in the recipe when you're making the frosting. Add about 85% of the sugar and then taste your buttercream and add only as necessary!

[@user-sj5pc6pg5e]

I’m gonna try this recipe this Christmas. There were bunch of recipes but I am going with this one cuz I trust you! Though I’m gonna put more food coloring. Hope it comes out nice!
