In the honor of my brother-in-law’s 26th Birthday I decided to surprise him by baking his favorite cake! After he devoured his first piece he claims its the best Red Velvet he has ever tasted! I got the recipe from Keyingredient.com …..HAPPY BAKING!
INGREDIENTS:
1-½ cups all purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1-½ cups cane or coconut sugar
1 Tablespoon cocoa
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 Large Eggs, room temperature
3/4 cups avocado oil
¾ cups unsweetened applesauce
1 cup buttermilk, kefir or cultured cashew milk
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 oz. red food coloring
Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 oz. Cream Cheese, Softened
1/2 Stick Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
2 Cups Confectioners’ Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8 inch cake pans. Lightly whisk eggs in a medium bowl. Add remaining liquid ingredients and stir together with whisk until blended. Set aside. Place all the dry ingredients in your mixing bowl and stir together really well with another wire whisk. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix on medium-high for about a minute or until completely combined. Pour into cake pans and then drop the pans on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. After about ten minutes, remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
To Make Frosting:
Beat Cream Cheese and Butter on medium speed while gradually adding the sugar. Beat until smooth and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract.
