Easy Red Velvet Cake Recipe

This recipe of the red velvet cake is a very easy and basic one. If you stick blindly to the recipe and follow each measure religiously, you’re bound to obtain the most indulgent red velvet cake ever! This cake is called so because of it’s smooth velvety texture which is what imparts the heaviness and the decadence to the cake. Each bite of this beautiful red velvet cake is a direct stairway to heaven and I am sure that one would certainly not mind baking it for their lovers on such a beautiful occasion like Valentine’s!

Tips for getting moist red velvet cake

• For this cake, it is very important that you’re beating your sugar and butter up until a level when it is creamy and fluffy. This step is what gives the cake it’s gorgeous moistness.
• Do not add all the four eggs together. The recipe already asks you to add one at a time and this is important because eggs and butter do not mix as well and as fast. If you end up adding all the eggs together, it will take you longer to mix the eggs into the butter-sugar mixture.
• If you wish to preserve the cake for longer, make sure you’re packing it in an airtight container.
