CLASSIC RED VELVET CAKE
The "red" makes sense, but what about the "velvet" in Red Velvet Cake's iconic name? Food historians say it was a common description during the Victorian era when the term described cakes that had an especially soft and "velvety" crumb. From the color to the crumb, this homemade Red Velvet Cake is a dessert classic. If you prefer cupcakes over cakes, our Classic Red Velvet Cake recipe works perfectly for that - check out our "Expert Tips" section for guidance.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use accurate measurements: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients carefully. A kitchen scale is the most accurate way to measure ingredients, but you can also use measuring cups if you don't have one.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Don't open the oven door while the cake is baking: This can cause the cake to fall.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
