Red velvet cake walks into every room and owns it. The color alone stops people in their tracks. But it is not just about looks — the subtle cocoa flavor and the tang from the buttermilk make this one of the most unique cakes you will ever taste. And that cream cheese frosting is the perfect finish.

Blu's Tips

❤️
Gel Food Coloring
Use gel food coloring instead of liquid for a deeper more vibrant red color. You need less of it and the color is more intense.
🥛
Buttermilk is Essential
The buttermilk reacts with the baking soda and vinegar to give red velvet its signature tender crumb. Do not substitute with regular milk.
🍰
Save the Crumbs
Save some cake crumbs from leveling the layers and press them onto the sides of the frosted cake for a beautiful red crumb coating.
🌡️
Room Temperature Ingredients
Buttermilk eggs and oil all at room temperature ensures a smooth batter and even baking throughout both layers.
