Red Velvet Cake, a cake with red color or red-brown color. It is traditionally prepared as a layered cake with cream cheese topping. Beetroot or red food color is added to get the dark red color in the cake. A moist Red Velvet cake is a perfect dessert for a festive mood. As valentine’s Day is approaching, I thought this recipe would be useful. This is an eggless version. But still we get the same moist and spongy cake and with the cream cheese frosting and sugar sprinklers, this would be really an awesome dessert.

Method for making Cake:
First take 2 medium size beetroots, wash and pressure cook along with the skin. Allow 3-4 whistles. Then take out the cooked beetroot, peel the skin, chop it and add it to the mixer jar and grind it with 1/4 cup of water and take 3/4 cup of beetroot puree and set it aside
Pre-heat the oven to 350 Degrees F.
First let take the dry ingredients. Add flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder and pass it through the sieve and set that aside
In another bowl, add milk and vinegar and stir well and set this aside for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in another mixing bowl, add oil, sugar and beat well.
Then add the beetroot puree and stir well. Then add vanilla extract and give a good stir. Add milk+vinegar mixture and stir well
Finally add the dry ingredients little by little and mix well with a flat spatula or whisk gently. Do not beat it. Fold all of them gently till they are nicely combined
Take a cake tin and grease it with butter and dust it with flour
Then add the cake batter which we prepared and pat it gently to get rid of air bubbles.Bake it in Oven for 30 minutes till the skewer comes out clean.
Take out the baked cake, cool for 5 minutes then loosen the edges and flip it on the cooling rack and allow it to cool completely
Method for making Frosting:
In a mixing bowl, add cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract and beat well with a whisk.
Then add powdered sugar and beat everything well till you get stiff peaks
Method for Applying Frosting:
Take the cooled cake, Slice the cake in half. Remove the upper portion and keep it aside
Apply cream frosting which we prepared generously on the cut portion of cake.
Then place the other half of the cake on this cake. Apply frosting on the top, sides and everywhere.
Sprinkle the heart confetti, sugar sprinklers all over the cake and decorate the cake

Thank you so much for nice recipe. The cake came out very soft & moist. But it was more darker in color nothing even close to red velvet color. Also i could smell vinegar in it. Can it be replaced by anything else. Kindly suggest.

Hi Surabi, instead of vinegar we can use lemon juice. just we want lemon or vinegar to react with baking powder to get the fluffiness of the cake
Hi dear it’s came out so awesome only my color wasn’t same red as yours. Mine looks like chocolate cake.
Thank you so much. Glad it came out good. Color will be based on the beet we use.
