Red Velvet Cake Recipe
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a heart-shaped cake pan.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the sugar and oil until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, vinegar, and beetroot pulp.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread an even layer of cream cheese frosting over the bottom layer. Top with the second heart-shaped cake layer and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set. Then cut and enjoy it with your partner.
