Hi,

I hv tried a couple of times baking red velvet cake, just wondering if anybody hv a very good recipe that I can try out.

Thanks
Ineke

Hi, Inkeke!

Rose has a Red Velvet Cake recipe in “Rose’s Heavenly Cakes”—many people here on the forum have baked it and really like it.  I haven’t made it myself, though.  If you don’t have her book and don’t have access to a library that does, you can try this recipe:  http://pinchmysalt.com/red-velvet-cake-recipe/  I’ve made it before and really liked it, although I used a different frosting.

Good luck!

Hi Anne,

Thanks! I will give it a try

I just made mini cupcakes from Rose’s HC book. They were very moist and yummy. I frosted them with white chocolate creamcheese. Everybody loved it. However, I was struggle with cupcakes pulling away from liners.

Hi Anne,

Yes, I tried and they all liked it! Light, moist and yummy! I used only 1 tbsp of gel red food coloring though, I think 2 Tbsp is for the liquid coloring.

Bean2002, are you using the stiff/thick liner? for me, the paper liner is best for cupcakes cos it clings to the cake

Hi Ineke,
Your cupcakes look lovely. How many cupcakes did you get from one batch and how long you baked them. I used the Wilton liner(Celebrate it). Try to search for different liners.

Thanks for sharing your pictures.

Thank you Bean2002, the recipe make 20 to 21 regular size cupcakes, i baked them for 20 minutes. Good luck!

Wow! Those are SOME cupcakes!!!!  I would have trouble picking one out.  They’re so pretty!  I’m glad you liked the recipe!
