Missy's Red Velvet Cake W/Cream Cheese Frosting image

This is a combination of both my Mom and Grandmother's recipes that I've tweeked to make my own. It brings back wonderful memories of my childhood, that I can now share with my children. FYI: Please make sure that refridgerated items are room temp before using and also make sure that you sift the cake flour/salt 3x and sift the confectioners' sugar 2x

Time 1h

Yield 2-4 layers, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

cake
3 large eggs (room-temp)
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon Butter Flavor Crisco
2 ounces red food coloring
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 1/2 cups cake flour, sifted (I use Swan's Down, sift 3x)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup buttermilk (I use or make my own from lemon juice & milk)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch baking soda
1 1/4 tablespoons white vinegar
frosting
0.75 (1 1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup pecans, chopped
8 ounces pkg cream cheese, softened
1 lb confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Spray pans w/Pam Baking Spray or grease and flour two 9-in. cake pans; set pans aside.
  • With electric mixer on medium speed, beat eggs, shortening and sugar until well combined. Add the food coloring and cocoa, mixing well. Add the butter and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, sift the cake flour & salt three times. Slowly add to creamed mixture. Add the buttermilk and mix well.
  • In a small bowl, combine baking soda & vinegar, stirring until baking soda is dissolved. Once dissolved, add to batter and mix well.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pans & bake about 20 mins or until cake springs back upon touch. Let layers cool completely on wire racks.
  • While cakes are cooling, prepare frosting. Using an electric mixer, combine butter, vanilla & cream cheese until completely blended. Reduce mixer speed & gradually add sifted confectioners' sugar. Once completely blended, add chopped pecans, if desired.
