PERFECT RED VELVET BUNDT CAKE

Perfect Red Velvet Bundt Cake image

I have tried many supposedly good Red Velvet recipes as it is my daughters favorite, but every time they are too dry. I have heard this complaint a lot. This recipe, however, yields a dense, moist cake worthy of any professional bakery. I do recommend using a bundt pan. It seems to turn out a more consistent product. A glaze instead of this frosting is also nice, but this frosting is wonderful. Do not use butter or cake flour in the cake. It turns out dry.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups vegetable oil (not butter)
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (not cake flour)
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
8 ounces cream cheese
5 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Pour into prepared pan. Bake 50 minutes or untill toothpick comes out clean. Cool on rack for 30 mins, then turn out onto cake plate to finish cooling.
Combine room temp butter and cream cheese in stand mixer, the add vanilla and mix ti fully combine. Gradually add sugar at low speed to combine, then whisk at high speed for three minutes. Apply to cake in preferred method (I like to drizzle it from a plastic bag with the corner snipped off).

Tips:

Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. A Dutch-process cocoa powder will give you a richer, darker red color.
Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the baking powder and baking soda, as too much or too little can affect the cake's rise.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
