It’s so amazing when you find a baker on KZbin that you can trust. I have made her carrot cake, red velvet cake, oatmeal meals and brookies perfectly adhering to Sam’s recipe and I got rave reviews on all of them (especially the carrot cake!). Now I can confidently follow any of her recipes and I know it’s going to be amazing!

I had been searching forever for a red velvet cake recipe that I liked. I had just about given up and came to the conclusion I just did not like red velvet cake. Knowing Sam is a great recipe creator I said to myself give it one more try. Boy oh boy am I sooo glad I did. This recipe is beyond ahmaazing! Sam you knocked it out of the park. Everyone was raving about this cake and more importantly I absolutely loved it. Now I know It wasn't the cake I did not like it was the recipes that I did not like. Thank you Sam.

I made this cake with cream cheese frosting for a colleague’s birthday - my office gobbled it up! I’ve never been the biggest fan of red velvet cake but the texture of this one was just amazing! Soft and moist without being mushy. The only thing I did differently was replace the extra egg yolk with one tbsp of extra oil because I never know what to do with one egg white. After years of looking I can finally stop looking for a decent red velvet cake recipe - thank you!

Thank you so much. I made this cake today and the ermine frosting. First off, the cake recipe is awesome. It was easy and the result is so delicious. I need to get the gel food coloring you used. The one I used the cake did not turn out as red, but really don't mind since it was tender and so good. The frosting was a first for me. I was a little more willing to try because the initial steps remind me of making country breakfast gravy and I have some practice making that. The key (and the same with the roux portion of the frosting) is patience and DON'T leave it or stop whisking. Like you mention don't rush it by increase the tempt. It turned out really good too and I am thinking I like it more than buttercream. Any suggestions what flavors of cake it goes well with?

Red velvet cake is not red velvet cake without Ermine frosting. This is the recipe that we always made by request in our family for Birthdays. It was definately a special occasion recipe.

Everything went according to plan, BUT why did mine sink in the middle slightly? I used a 9 x 13 baking dish which the batter filled to perfection.

@@SugarSpunRun No, I didn't want to leave it in the oven any longer because I was afraid it might turn out dry. Anyway, everyone LOVED the cake. I managed to score a small slice and they were right. It was spectacular, a keeper. People were throwing me kisses. Not a single crumb was left in my 9 x 13 dish. One of the ladies asked me to make the exact same cake for next week's meeting. Personally, I prefer to try some of your other cakes. As a matter of fact, I'm going in search of one right after this comment. BTW, the gel coloring DID dissolve but there were little specks of undissolved cocoa throughout the cake (nobody cared). The only thing I can think went wrong was that I didn't beat the batter enough. I was concerned about beating it too much making the cake tough. There's even a possibility it was cacao instead of cocoa (I don't know if there's a difference). It was given to me in a ziplock bag by a friend. Maybe next time, I'll add it to the buttermilk instead. Well, thanks a bunch for the great work on this recipe.

This recipe looks delicious! Can't wait to try it with the ermine frosting. What is the purpose for the white vinegar? Do you use it in other cake recipies?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! The vinegar is a classic red velvet cake ingredient. It adds a slightly tangy flavor 😊

Hey Sugar Spun Run, after my attempt at your German chocolate cake which I commented on, now my wife wants a vanilla layer cake with a berry jelly type filling between the layers. Any thoughts on this? Or do you perhaps have a recipe for it? Seems easy enough at a glance, but I am more of a savory cook, and now just recently trying my hand at baking. I have made a killer NY style cheesecake and a great carrot cake. These regular layer cakes kick my butt every time. I even tried a classic 3 layer coconut cake and the frosting was too runny, much like my German chocolate cake venture. I will keep trying. Thanks for your videos.

Hi Phil! You should try my Chantilly Cake! It's very similar to what you're describing. I hope you and your wife love it! 😊

I understand that kind of childhood trauma, lol. My uncle told me never to run around a tree multiple times, if there was an owl in the tree. The owl would follow me with its eyes, turning its head around until its head popped off! I believed him!

How do I double this recipe

[@lynnv8056]

Hi Sam, I have made five of your cakes; one was the red velvet stuffed cheesecake. My family is celebrating a birthday, my so in law is asking for this cake. I cannot find the recipe on your web slight, any chance I can get this.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I don't actually have a red velvet cake with a cheesecake, but you could use this red velvet cake and the cheesecake from my carrot cake cheesecake. :)

[@deeandavis336]

Can you make a three layer cake from these measurements or should I double everything?

[@SugarSpunRun]

If you make it a 3 layer cake your layers will just be thinner. Alternatively you can just increase the recipe by 50%. 😊

Hi! Quick question: What hand mixer do you use? Thanks, I really enjoy your recipes!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I actually have a couple of mixers I like to use. If I don't need one with lots and lots of power I use my kitchenaid hand held mixer. If I need to whip egg whites or something like that I have one made by Hamilton Beach, and of course for a stand mixer I have kitchenaid stand mixers. :)

Will this recipe work if baked in 8 inch heart-shaped pans? I'd like to do this for Valentine's Day, and will trace the parchment paper to the heart shape. What would be your suggestions for adding a bit of decoration to a Valentine's red velvet cake?

[@SugarSpunRun]

It will work in a heart shaped pan, but I'm not sure of the capacity of that pan so you will most likely have excess batter. Don't overfill your pan. I'm not sure on the bake time. I think I would do varying shades of red and pink and use different tips to pipe decorations on top. I will be sharing a post next week on basic decoration of a cake that may be helpful. :)

@@SugarSpunRun Thank you! I'm thinking I would be better off getting the 9 inch pans, then. Wilton has 8, 9, and 10 inch pans, all 2 inches deep. I think the 10 inch might be too much, though.
