Ingredients

For this classic red velvet cake recipe, you will need:

  • 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of butter, softened
  • 2 cups of white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup of sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons of red food coloring
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Instructions

To make your red velvet cake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set the bowl aside.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined. Add the sour cream, food coloring and vanilla extract, and mix until everything is just combined.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until everything is just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

When the cakes are cooled, you can frost them with your favorite icing. Enjoy your homemade red velvet cake!
