The impressive red velvet cake with its wonderful velvety cream will steal the show wherever it is presented, not only for its striking appearance but also for its delicious taste. We serve it at festive tables, official birthday parties or celebrations, Christmas, Easter, and even Valentine's Day with heart decorations.


Ingredients:
• 500g cake flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• 350g granulated sugar
• 125ml vegetable oil
• 125g melted butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 250ml buttermilk
• 3 tsp red food coloring
• 1 tsp vinegar


For the frosting:
• 250g cream cheese
• 380g powdered sugar
• 85g butter
• 200g whipped cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• a pinch of salt

Directions

1. In a bowl, mix together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another bowl, mix the sugar, vegetable oil, and melted butter. Add in the eggs, buttermilk, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
3. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
4. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes at 180°C or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Sift in the powdered sugar and add the salt and vanilla extract. In another bowl, whip the cream and fold it into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula.
6. Once the cake is done, let it cool before slicing it in half. Spread a generous amount of frosting on the bottom half of the cake, then place the top half on it. Spread the remaining frosting on top and around the sides of the cake. Garnish with your favorite fruits.
