3 Layer Red Velvet Cake

Cakes (149) Birthday (12) Red Velvet (2) Layer Cakes (1) Cream Cheese Frosting (1)

Here's a very impressive cake that stays moist for days; it's perfect for a big birthday party.

If you find that you get domes on your layers, try reducing your oven temperature and increasing the cooking time in the future.

Preparation Time: 60 minutes
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Makes: 16 servings

Ingredients
3 ¾ Cups Plain Flour
1 ½ tsp Salt
¼ Cup 2 Tbls Cocoa
2 ¼ Olive Oil
3 Eggs
1 Bottle Red Food Colouring
1 ½ Tsp Vanilla Essence
1 ½ Buttermilk
2 ¼ tsp Baking Soda
3 Tsp White Vinegar

Method

Preheat oven to 160ºC Fan Forced. Grease and flour 3 8.5" Round Cake tins.

I only had two pans

Whisk together flour, salt and cocoa. Set aside.

Beat sugar and oil until combined.

All Combined

Beat in eggs one at a time. Add food colouring and vanilla essence.

The second most exciting part - adding an entire bottle of colouring!

Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately.

Get ready to boogie

Resist the urge to eat it by the spoonful

In a small bowl, combine baking soda and vinegar. Add to batter and beat.

Careful it fizzes

Divide mixture evenly between pans (Use a scale it makes it super easy).

Bake for 30-35 Minutes.

Cool completely before icing with cream cheese frosting. Check out my ombre cream cheese frosting recipe for details on how to ombre frost your cake as well as a delicious cream cheese frosting.

Don't forget to do a crumb layer and chill before final icing.
