Adding Color: Gradually add red food coloring, 1 tsp at a time, until you achieve the desired vibrant hue.
Magic Touch: In a small bowl, combine baking soda with white vinegar and swiftly add it to the batter. Mix until well incorporated.
Baking Bliss: Divide the batter evenly into prepared pans, tapping them to eliminate air bubbles. Bake for 25 mins or until a skewer comes out clean.
Cooling Grace: Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for 15 mins before transferring them to a wire rack for complete cooling.
2. Crafting Cream Cheese Frosting
Butter’s Delight: Beat the unsalted butter until pale and fluffy.
Creamy Symphony: Continue beating, adding cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until the mixture achieves a light and fluffy consistency.
Chill and Assemble: Refrigerate the frosting if needed. Level the cake layers, filling them with approximately 1 cup of cream cheese frosting. Apply a crumb coat and chill for 20 mins.
Finishing Touch: Spread the final layer of frosting, decorating as desired with cake crumbs. Refrigerate for at least an hour for a perfectly set and flavorful red velvet cake.
