This is the BEST red velvet cake and icing recipe I’ve tried, and I’ve tried MANY!!! I have baked this only twice so far, but it will now ALWAYS be my FIRST choice whenever I am in the mood to bake a cake. Delicious, super moist, just the right texture, and the icing is the PERFECT consistency and sweetness level. Thank you so much Alexus, you have permanently ENDED my search for the best red velvet cake on earth since it just can’t get any better than this. Super easy instructions, very FAST cake.
@@lildebdoll60 by the slice or even the whole cake. Tell friends, family, post it to ur social media outlets that u're on & let ppl know the area u're in & for a small fee u can deliver, let's say within a 5 mile radius or u can park somewhere at a plaza close to ur home & have customers come to u to pick up. U can charge $6+/slice & $45+ for a whole cake.
I had to circle back to this video and say a few words … I made it for Christmas and this is by far the most moist recipe I have tried I’ve made a lot of red velvet cakes but this will always be my go to recipe
First time making a red velvet cake, never cared for them, now I'm HOOKED! This cake is AWESOM. I also piped frosting for the first time, cake was too pretty to cut, but I did. This recipe is a KEEPER. I love your style. Thank-you.
Red Velvet cake is made w Cocoa...most people dont know that...its so delicious..my favorite cake...you're cake would go really well at a wedding...looks so darn good..great recipe..thank you!
I can't even tell you how many red velvet recipes I've tried that just did not taste anything like red velvet. This recipe is perfect, tastes just as good as a red velvet cake at a bakery. I've been searching and searching for the right red velvet cake recipe and this is it! Thank you!!
I love how simple it looks to mix all the ingredients. Of course, anyone can decorate it as they choose but this is wonderfully made. I will try it.❤❤❤
You have convinced me to use vegetable oil instead of butter for this cake. You did a fantastic job. It looks very moist. Can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
I Just LOVE you. You do not GATEKEEP ANYTHING lol I've been baking for about a year and the comment you made about letting your cakes sit in the freezer for about an hour because it will make it easier to coat was the best tip I could receive yet! I normally would let my cakes cool then coat them but I can tell this will be a method I will use from here on out!
I’ve been looking for that *in my country voice* KUNTRY , MELT IN YA MOUTH, Back Do’ style Red Velvet Cake and I think this is it! I’m going to try it tonight but I confident just by looking at it this is a game changer.
Wow I am very impressed with your channel I sold cakes for four years and now I am just starting posting my recipes on RUclips as well. I seem to enjoy that more 🙂 thanks for sharing your recipes I will definitely be trying them
I will definitely be making this cake soon. I've been searching for awhile for a moist red velvet cake recipe. Thanks YT for suggesting you. I'm subscribed!
@janicef08 Yes. She says that she doubled the recipe which means she basically added the twice the amount of the ingredients. I hope this helps you out.
I used your recipe last year at Christmas it was so good I wound up making two so I'm back watching again preparing to make it again for Christmas I'm 61 years old and have been making red velvet cakes for 40 years but yours is the best easiest recipe I've ever used! Thanks!
I loved watching you calmly orchestrate the creation of this masterpiece. Honey I could watch you all day and walk away feeling like I can do it too. 🥂
Just made this cake for fam . Oil based instead of butter based. Thought it would be oily but it turned out beautifully. Couldn't keep it on the table, that's how fast it was devoured. Double the frosting recipe to get good cake coverage
Made these today for Christmas Eve, since my toddler “4” wanted to bake cupcakes and my 12 year old daughter said “these cupcakes are so good and soft I can’t even describe the taste because their so good” I’m glad I went on with your recipe.
I just want to say I watched your video in it's entirety waiting patiently until you finished frosting it Like i was going to get a piece! Lol...Looks so good!!
I make red velvet cakes at Christmas for family & friends for Christmas gifts. I have used the same recipe for 40 years & mine is almost exactly as yours, but mine only calls for 1 cup buttermilk. I just want to be sure you use 2 (two) cups buttermilk. I wasted a lot of ingredients once using an online recipe with a typo. I love your frosting technique! It looks WONDERFUL!! I usually use nuts in my frosting, but I'm going to leave out the nuts & pipe it on. I may sprinkle some chopped nuts on top. I will start making my layers in November & freeze them & take them out as I need them. I already have my boxes that they'll be in & wrapped with beautiful ribbons & bows.
Mary is your recipe from the years of 1969 to 1972 time? I made for years this favorite recipe of a Red Velvet Cake and as without thinking family would misplace it, they did. It's been lost to me now for decades and I've always searched trying to find the version that was popular in Southern states in the winter of 1971. I know it took a full glass bottle of red food coloring ( 3 T. I believe that equaled to being). I believe it was 3 T. cocoa powder as well, 3 eggs. The eggs may have been only 2. 1½ cup of Wesson Oil and all the normal rest of the ingredients. If you or anyone reading my text has this particular recipe, I would dearly love to have it.
I'm in the UK so can anyone advise what flour I can use please as we either have Self Raising flour(we use to make sponge cakes) or Plain flour (for a heavier cake I believe you would call coffee cake and think its classed as All Purpose flour your side.
Mary, does your recipe call for a certain brand of cooking oil? A name brand one? I had my recipe from Dec. of 1971. As it was, my mom had it, and I never got it back. I have tried to find this same exact one. It's lost to me. I hope you might have it. Thank you for your time.
@Melissa A Melissa, the recipe I had from 1971, called for Self Rising, too, I believe. If not, at any rate, it is what was used. It was the best cake ever! Also, I believe Cake Flour is a lighter weight flour for making cakes. You are right in that Plain Flour is indeed All-Purpose Flour. Self Rising has the baking powder already in it. I can't remember if baking soda is in it, too or not.
GOOD MORNING PRAYING ALL IS WELL THANK U FOR SHARING YOUR ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS CAKE I LOVE RED VELVLET CAKE I WILL BE MAKING THIS WHAT KIND OF TIP DID U USE YOUR CAKE LOOKS AMAZING 👏 S JOB WELL DONE KEEP YOUR RECIPE COMING PLEASE BE BLESS AND STAY SAFE U HAVE A ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WEEK HAPPY HOILDAYS
Just made this!! The texture and moisture are perfect, but I felt like my flavor fell a little flat or like it needed maybe some salt?? Not sure but was fun to try!
You won me with the “we don’t use butter and flour. We ain’t got time!” Yaaassss! I love red velvet cake but I’ve never made it. Anxious to make this. Thank you for sharing.
For the 2 1/2 cup of flour, I do not have an exact 2 1/2 cup. Do I measure it out with 2 cups of flour and then 1/2 cup of flour. I know it sounds like a silly question, but this is my first time baking a red velvet cake and I want it to be moist and not dry. Thanks :)
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful cake❤️ It looks absolutely beautiful. I loved watching you make this beautiful cake. You made it look easy. I can’t wait to try it. I will be subscribing to your channel. Thank you.
Not sure what happened with my cake.. but I followed the recipe to a T. All I did was cut it in half. The cake came out super oily even from taking it out of the pan. I used a stand mixer to blend the wet ingredients first for a few minutes to make sure the oil was well combined. Can’t figure it out..
Was trying to get close to my mom's recipe. This one is the closest so far. If you are not doing the icing like hers you dont need to double that recipe. I added pecans when I iced the top🤗
@@heyleenvlogzzz3415 Use what she has listed. She said she doubled the icing ingredients because she did the fancy stuff. I didnt do all that so I just used what she has listed under icing! Itsssssssss soooo good!
I made this and I LOVED it and got tons of compliments on it. On top of that it is super easy to make. At first I was skeptical, never added the sugar to the flour before but hands down, this was the best.
Was raised on red velvet but always with boiled frosting and our baking soda was always mixed with vinegar and added at the end. So many different recipes!
Hello Alexus, Me and my mom just love your videos. I tried the red velvet cake recipe and everyone loved it so much and I was wondering can you double the cake recipe.
Exact same way I have always made my red velvet cake except I add one more ingredient. It's a great recipe and makes a moist, light cake. It's perfect.
how is everyone getting such good results? I followed all directions, give me some tips cuz the cake was too oily. The frosting was amazing though! let me know.

So i dont see any baking powder. Am i missing something
@@allenyasmina1977 I followed the recipe in the description. Didn't use baking powder, it turned out great.
@@allenyasmina1977 I believe the baking powders in the cake flour.
Baking soda
What size cake pans did you use? 8 inch or 9 inch cake pans?
I love how simple it looks to mix all the ingredients. Of course, anyone can decorate it as they choose but this is wonderfully made. I will try it.❤❤❤
I made this cake and took it to a holiday lunch at my church, and it was a hit. This is my new favorite recipe. Thank you for sharing. ❤
❤️❤️❤️
You have convinced me to use vegetable oil instead of butter for this cake. You did a fantastic job. It looks very moist. Can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
Yes!!! Vegetable oil makes the cake super moist along with the buttermilk
You can use both.
This was the first cake I made when I was in high-school and my grandmother in-law always wanted me to make it for her😉 She love this 🎂
