@naledirakolele3311 it's because of the coffee,it Truly makes the flavor pop. I use coffe asweel for my chocolate cakes. And they are so DELICIOUSLY MOIST AND RICH!
If you want to make buttermilk, take the milk and add about 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Let that sit for 5-10 minutes, and then you got your buttermilk. EDIT: It's been 6 yrs and I forgot I even commented this lmaooo but yes as some people say lemon juice works fine as well, but wow I'm shocked thx for the likes and comments, glad I can help y'all!
I came to give thanks. I found you from a red velvet cake review, I made this today for a baby shower , the cake did not last long.Moist and filling is decadent . Just wow!!! Thank you sis for your genorosity with this recipe .
This is seriously the BEST red velvet cake ever. I cannot get enough of it and whenever I give it to family or friend, they absolutely fall in love!!! I've baked it twice and each time it just gets better and better. I can totally recommend this!
Wow! Crazy @diya! Did you do the circle pans? Idk why but I'm second guessing myself on using a 9 x 13 because I always use my circle pans lol. I making cake pops this time so it'll be easier if I just use a big pan. Lol
@@samanthajackson6049 I dont have any metal mould, but I have the glass ones but I have only one. So I baked 3 layers and waited them to cool down completely. They turned out amazing! Dont be like me tho, SIFT your dry ingredients or ull have small cacao bubles surfacing. You can use whatever mould you want just bake them one layer at a time. I ended up with 3 thinner layers but that okay, cos the cross cut will look good. Good luck and go for it.
To all seeing this. The cake is not moist! It’s overly saturated in oil . If you like cakes that are oily / taste like vegetable oil, no sweetness … sure, make this.
This is hands down the best red velvet cake recipe I've tried. Everyone loved it. Super moist, melts in your mouth. When she says it's moist, she means MOIST. Good thing that the recipe warns you that the batter will be thin because I wasn't having much hope until the cake was finished. Very delicious 😋
We don’t normally comment on many items on RUclips. And we do watch tons of videos. My husband will be turning 70 this weekend and we will have been married for 50 years this June. Between my mom and me we have made him red velvet cakes forever because it’s always been his favorite. Just recently while watching RUclips we stumbled across your cake. WOW!!😮 As we read the recipe and process I thought this seems much simpler than the recipe I used. And it sure is but the finished product is simply delicious. You have shared the best recipe ever. I saw where someone mentioned the coffee. Yes I believe that is one ingredient that makes a difference. I have used coffee in a chocolate cake recipe I make and it makes a huge difference. Well I did one thing different. I have a recipe for frosting that was used by an aunt of mine and I don’t know where it came from but I have not seen or heard of it anywhere. It’s made from crisco, flour, vanilla, milk, butter and sugar. Thanks so very much for sharing this delicious red velvet cake recipe. 0:31
I made this cake today for Father's Day. I had most ingredients but bought a back-up boxed cake mix just in case I failed LOL. I did everything but used 1 Tbsp vinegar + 1 cup milk for buttermilk. And let me just say I didn't need that back-up cake. This cake came out PERFECTLY moist and so so good!! My dad thought so too! Please try it if you can! :DD
This is literally THE best red velvet cake recipe. It turned out great the first time I made it a few years ago, and I've stayed faithful ever since. Love, love, love!
I have to say I’ve made lots of recipes using butter, they were all ok, but this one using oil is definitely much superior! The cake just melts in your mouth, it’s so light, moist and fluffy! Even after days in the refrigerator! This is now my go to recipe! When I don’t have coffee I just replace it with water with incredible results...thank you so much! 💙🥰☺️🌷
GIIIIIRRRRRRL!!! I made this cake and literally cried. I thought I messed it up. It was so MOIST that is was cracked in the middle kinda like meatloaf.umm yea. so I started crying because I followed the recipe to a T. I was too too thru. Theeeennnn, my husband came into the kitchen & was like,what's wrong? Yea, he heard me crying...I showed him the cake (without the frosting on it) & he was like it don't look too bad. Frost it up he said cause it's gonna crumble when we eat it. Wellllllll, baaaaaabyyy, let me tell you. It was THE BOMB. The BEST CAKE I HAVE EVER MADE!!! WE BOTH ATE IT ALL IN ONE NIGHT!! I made your frosting too. This cake was gone. He said it was the BEST VELVET cake he'd ever eaten. I was soooo happy. It's my first from scratch cake. Turned out a lil boo boo became perfect. It's now my main Holiday cake & every now & then cake. Idk what I did that it was sooooo cracked in the middle but it didn't matter because it was DELICIOUS!! THANK YOU soooo MUCH for sharing this recipe.....
So I made this cake last week and oh my goodness. It is my new go to recipe for red velvet cake. It refrigerated so well and stayed moist the entire week and a half it took my family to finish it. Best part, I’m sharing the recipe with my daughter when she is old enough to bake on her own (she’s 9). Yummy. Oh and the cream cheese frosting recipe is easy and perfect!
I made this cake for my daughters wedding and her 21st birthday...this is the best recipe ever the cake is super moist and delicious...even the caterer at the wedding commented on how good the cake was lol...thank you for the best Red Velvet cake recipe ever :-)
I’ve made this cake and it’s amazing but I haven’t used it to make like a wedding cake which is what I’m doing next month . Do you think it’s stable enough to make a tiered cake ?
@@KravingCurls hi I am now in the same situation you were 4 years ago :D I think to do this cake for my wedding. Did you go with it for your wedding? Was it ok or were there any issues? Thank you very much in advance
This is the Best Red Velvet Cake recipe on the "Tube". Have tried others on You Tube but nothing compares to Divas Can Cook. Thanks Monique, girl you can can everything, you are the G.O.A.T.!
Baked this the day before my baby’s birthday and served it at her party the following evening. Let me just say I’ve never seen a cake disappear so fast. Everyone said it tasted really good with the best frosting and it was so moist. It was sinfully delicious. The coffee really makes the coco powder taste so good. I might bake another one for Christmas
OMG!!! I made this cake for Thanksgiving! My first "from scratch" cake and it was a huge success. It was gone the next day. No longer will I have to beg and pay someone to make me my favorite cake; RED VELVET!!! HA!!! Chaka Can Cook;lol!
This is a great cake!! I'm not a big Red Velvet cake fan but I love this cake. It is the only Red Velvet cake I will eat. Since the first time I made this cake it has been requested at all our functions. It shouldn't matter but I'm a male and I enjoy cooking...and this cake increased my stock. Be careful, this cake is really moist and can be difficult to handle. Thanks DCC
OH MY GOD. I made this recipe for red velvet cupcakes today (used a butter cream cream cheese icing so it would pipe) and she is not lying when she says this cake is MOIST! It is so unbelievably delicious. I was initially worried about it tasting like vegetable oil from other comments (I just don’t like using a lot of oils) but I assure you it is fine! The cupcakes were soft, sweet, moist, and perfect. The coffee really did its thing. THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this recipe!! THIS DIVA CAN COOK!
This is literally the best red velvet cake recipe everrrrr!!!! Omg my family and friends loved it so much, didn't even last a day! Its so moist and delicious thank you thank youuuu!!!
I tried this recipe and it's the best velvet cake recipe! The cake was very moist and light. I followed all the exact measurement written here, except for I fold in the flour using figure 8 technique instead of beating it with mixer. I used the same batter for cupcakes but I baked at 20mins. It was perfect ! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I made this recipe for the first time today and for my first time making red velvet cake...i made it for my coworkers and it was a huge hit!! They loved it!! I used decaf coffee since i don't do caffeine, and I used your recipe for your cream cheese frosting that you posted with your red velvet cupcakes. Rave reviews for the frosting! and i also took crumbles from the cake and sprinkled on top with some chopped pecans to make it look pretty lol. Thanks so much for your channel, you're the best!!
Since I tried this recipe, I have never look at any other red velvet recipe. I love the texture and how moist and delicious this recipe is. Thanks for sharing this 💕
Hello i just tried your red velvet & cream cheese reciepe,wanna say..i ate 2 slices of it! its is so delicious.so yummyI I made this today for my son's 10th birthday 23.Jan 2015. and it was a hit for my swiss family.Something new for them... Thank you for sharing your reciepe.
Let me just tell you this red velvet cake is the best red velvet cake in the universe. Baked it for my family and my 87 year old great grandmother said it was the best one she had ate in her entire life. Thank you so much. That coffee definitely does something to this cake, it was insanely moist. Merry Christmas & thank you again. God bless you.
Hello, I have just made this cake and it turned out soooooooooooo moist and when I went to turn it over to get out of the pan it stuck big time even after spraying the pans but I forgot one step I always do and didn't I put paper down in the pans so they don't stick also, so I am in the process of making the cake again with the spraying of the pans and then wax paper in the bottom of the pans and then sprayed again so I know they won't stick this time.. the cakes are in the oven again.. But this recipe is so moist like you said.. My husband said to frost the one that torn for us and I said ok but we can't stop eating it because it is so good.. Thank God I have enough ingredients to keep making this cake for my son's birthday.. He comes and gets it tomorrow.. thanks again for the recipe..
My daughter and I baked this for my husband for his Bday and it was the best cake ever! My first time baking a red velvet cake which is a household fave...will make again! Love your recipes and how quick and easy they are but always make for a great homemade taste!
I just made this for my small group today and let me tell you, it was absolutely incredible. I have never been a very successful baker and I must say this was absolutely the most moist cake ever. I cheated on the frosting for the sake of time, I just went to my local store and picked up some frosting that they make daily for their own cakes (Publix, located in their cold cake section). Another plus was that the cake was not overly sweet and didn't have that "homemade" taste, it honestly to me almost didn't need the frosting b/c the cake was so good. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world :-)
I just used this recipe last night. This cake was sooooo moist and delicious! I was so excited that it came out perfectly! Thanks so much for this recipe! 😆🍰
Grrrrrl...this cake came out so moist and delish! Thank you for posting this. It made my 2020 Thanksgiving feel like home even though I couldn't be with family. Just follow the directions as given including the coffee and you will have a perfect cake!
I’ve tried many red velvet cake recipes, but this is a winner! It’s soooooo moist and delicious really. And a plus...such an easy recipe to follow 👌🏽👌🏽😋😋
Dear Monique... Greetings all the way from Saudi Arabia I just had the last bite from my slice of this amazingly moist & insanely delicious red velvet cake.. with cream cheese frosting of course and white chocolate ganache.. I am literally speechless !! People I cannot describe enough how MOIST and flavorful this cake is.... my husband was surprised to know it was homemade... also I have tried a different recipe of red velvet cake based on butter but THIS ONE IS THE ONE TO GO with..... Thank you Monique and I just have to say this: your voice and the way you comment on your videos just takes it to a whole different level... it is such a joy watching your recipes .... love you..
My son requests this as his birthday cake every year. It's absolutely amazing. I also make it for Christmas as well. Everyone loves it and your recipe is perfection. Thank you!!!
My birthday is next week and I love to have my Red Velvet Cake. This one I want simply because of the coffee added. I've made a chocolate cake with coffee and it was so rich and moist so I'm excited to taste this Red Velvet recipe!!
Hey! Greetings from New Zealand, i just made your red velvet cake! it was gone in a day.......girl you need your own tv show! You certainly have a new fan..............THAT RED VELVET CAKE WAS OMG......SO GOOD.........I COULDNT BELIVE I MADE SOMETHING SO BEAUTFIUL IN MY LIFE...... NOM NOM NOM.......... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RECIPE.
Hi Divas Can Cook! I just want to say thank you for sharing this recipe with us. I am 16 and I made this cake for my parents for Valentine's day. It was really nice and very moist! My parents loved it so do I! Thank you, and please keep doing more Videos. Have a great day! Warmly, Shokhsanam.
If you're thinking about making this cake, JUST DO IT!! It's super easy and I can't even describe how good it is!! You'll love it and that icing is perfect! Thanks for this!! ❤
Hello, I want to ask if the cake tastes too sweet or not? Because, I think 400 gr of sugars are very much. I'm planning to make this cake, but I still doubt about the amount of sugars I should put :'))
I used 1 1/2 cups of sugar for the batter instead of 2 cups and the sweetness was just right, not too much. You may even be a able to use less than that to your taste.
To take this cake to another level use white chocolate cream cheese frosting! 1- 8oz. cream cheese, 11oz. of white chocolate bits(ghiradelli or private selection Kroger brand), 1 stick of butter softened, 3 T. confectioners sugar, 2 T. Lemon emulsion (hobby lobby baking isle). Boil 2-3 cups of water; remove from heat and place white chocolate in a stainless steel bowl and set on top of boiling pan rim( if you don't have a double boiler). Let it set there for 5-6 minutes before you start to stir it. Once the chips are completely melted and smooth take off pan and let it set for 1-2 minutes. While the water is boiling, cream together the cream cheese and sugar until well blended. Add the chocolate until blended the mound in softened butter; add the lemon emulsion. You may have to double the recipe to cover a 2-3 layer cake, but taste before you add more than 2T of emulsion. Enjoy!
This recipe was soooooooo amazing. I used it for red velvet cupcakes, and believe me they were SO soft and awesome. I'm vegetarian that's why I left out the eggs and put 1/4th tsp more baking soda and my batter was little less sweet, so I put more sugar. And the outcome was just amazing.
Thanks for your recipe. I’ve made this cake several times and my family loves it. I just changed some ingredients, instead of oil, I used applesauce. I also reduced the sugar in half. I don’t use coloring so we call it brown velvet. It’s the best cake!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I made it last Friday, and it was the best Red Velvet Cake I'd ever had! It was also my FIRST cake I ever made by myself! I'm making another one for Thanksgiving-actually, it's in the oven now! I hope you and your beautiful family have a great Thanksgiving! (I already know it's going to taste wonderful!)
Thank you for this recipe! My sister and I made this, and we used buttercream frosting and chocolate sauce for the outer of the cake. It was really delicious!
I made this once so far and it was a HIT!! I was requested to make it again at the end of the month again. I doubled the recipe thinking I needed more but I didn't so I wrapped the cake in plastic wrap then wrapped aluminum foil around it as well as stored the leftover frosting in the freezer. I took it out about a week in a half later, thawed it out and it was like new so even after freezing, it's a perfect cake. Thank you!!
Many thanks for this recipe.My first time making a RVC and it was a super success.Everything moist and heavenly taste. I used 2 8" square pans. Thumbs up!!!
I made this cake for my sister's birthday and everyone LOVED it!!! 🤩 Even my nephew who is a chocolate lover and my aunt who doesn't really like sweets loved it! I didn't expect it to be such a succes! Thank you so much for this recipe!! 💖
This is first time I am making this recipe , I must say I was surprise that it came out so moist and delicious I really did not need the frosting it was that good.. I did not have the buttermilk so I use vanilla coffee cream combine it with sour, I use 3/4cup cream and1/4 sour cream . this weekend I will be making two red velvet ..cakes... Thank you for sharing your recipes.. I would love to have your sister's lemon cake recipe... Thanks...
I made this for Thanksgiving this year and it was a complete hit! Everyone loved it and it was gone before I knew it :) I used a bundt cake pan and it was perfect.
@@candacea4445 it's been awhile since I made it in a bundt pan, but I believe I used a 9 inch. Google cake pan conversions for accuracy because you may need to double the recipe depending on the size.
Used this recipe to make red velvet cupcakes and they are divine!!!!...ended making around 25 or so cupcakes and this recipe is super easy, delicious and forever a keeper in my household!Thanks so much!
So tomorrow I will be serving this cake at a celebration for my daughter. I've just pulled them out of the oven. I say them because I've made a small high round & long/rectangular piece. I will say this it smells AWESOME & I tasted the left over in the bowl & OMG if it taste done the way it taste before ... IT'S GOING TO BE DEEEELISH... I will post results tomorrow. And yes ma'am it is MOIST. I'm not the best baker in the world but this was not hard to follow AT ALL. My daughter's favorite cake is Red Velvet & I wanted to put my touch on it & make it instead paying someone. This celebration is for strength & survival that she's made through a difficult & rare seizure disorder over the last 1 & a half. I won't make this any longer than it is but just know it's changed both of our lives. To see her progressing is a celebration in itself. Again I'll post tomorrow how it went.... Smooches 🤗
UGH!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! You are seriously my favorite person on RUclips when it comes to food/baking ideas!!!! Loooooove the videos! Keep them coming
Great video. You should have put the actual recipe up along with the video. I know it's on the diva site but it would have been nice to see it here. Thx anyway
I made this today and it turned out just like the picture, extremely moist and just the right amount of sweet, everybody loved it ! Thanks for sharing, I always love all your recipes!
@@cakecakehooraytv6418 I don’t really remember, but maybe like 2 tsp ? try to make it look the same color as in the video, good luck! I hope it turns out amazing!
Hi monique. I tried ur red velvet cake recipe with a cream cheese frosting for my hubby's birthday and let me tell u it was a hit!! the cake was so moist, light and tasted great! got so many compliments about it. it was easy to make too. definitely my fav red velvet cake! thks loads
Guuuuurrrrrl,i baked your red velvet cake today and oh my goodness! It was sooo moist. I have tried 2 other recipes but yours is the best.. thaaaank you so much! This recipe is highly recommended!
I know it's been nearly 7 years since this recipe came out but I made it, and OMG this is the best one I've tried! I did forget to whisk the oil and sugar and added the sugar to the dry ingredients. But nonetheless this cake came out as Monique says AH-MAZING!! My oven doesn't show degrees so I baked it on Gas Mark 3 for 40-45 mins. For the cream cheese frosting I used the light cream cheese frosting recipe but instead of 3 cups icing sugar I used 2. Simply PERFECT. 👌 Thank you so much for sharing!
I made your recent lemon velvet cake n it was so moist so was wondering if this is just as moist as this was done 9 years ago so would you update or it's just as good today as yesteryear
I reduce it to be 1 1/2 cup and if you do experiment using 2 cups, I think the cream cheese frosting would balance it out to make it not too sweet. (I didn't use a recipe for the cream cheese frosting, i just use 2 blocks of cream cheese and 1/2 cup of butter and add the sugar gradually so it wont overpower the cream cheese taste) hope this helps!
My grandma had this trick where she would mix 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoons of Apple cider vinegar and it always made it taste very good :)
No, not at all. The coffee is only used to bring out the flavour of the cocoa. Follow her steps exactly and it will taste great, no coffee flavours. Hope this helped. X
I will definitely have to try out this recipe! Lots of celebrations coming up in May and this will be the perfect dessert. Thanks for sharing! Hugs, Tracey
I shall be attempting your recipe today..exited yet sooo nervous but your recipes never fail me. You're the best. Thanks for all your wonderful recipes!
I just made this, but in cupcake form, and it is so so good! I think the best recipe I ever made! I scrolled through every single comment and saw some people were saying it was tasteless, sunk in the middle, too oily, etc etc but none of this was the case for me. Tasteless? Use quality ingredients I.e. use Dutch processed cocoa powder. Sunk in the middle? Try not to overmix and under/over bake. Too oily? One cup isn’t too much, but since the comments scared me, I left out a little bit of oil and it wasn’t too oily in my opinion. This recipe made me 18 regular cupcakes and 24 mini cupcakes. For my oven, 300-325F - 18-20 mins for regular cupcakes and 10 mins for minis.
Just made this cake again today and instead of TollHouse Unsweetened Cocoa, I used Hershey's.. And oh my, what a difference, the chocolate flavor came out much better, as always, this cake is delicious and moist, rich in flavor!!
10yrs later….this is still the best Red Velvet recipe I’ve made💯🥰
It isssssss
Yesssss, I have tried so many red velvet recipes and I still find this one to be the best
@naledirakolele3311 it's because of the coffee,it Truly makes the flavor pop. I use coffe asweel for my chocolate cakes. And they are so DELICIOUSLY MOIST AND RICH!

My mom just baked this cake and the moisture and the taste... there is no way I will ever eat a box cake again 👌🏽👌🏽
I made this recipe for the first time today and for my first time making red velvet cake...i made it for my coworkers and it was a huge hit!! They loved it!! I used decaf coffee since i don't do caffeine, and I used your recipe for your cream cheese frosting that you posted with your red velvet cupcakes. Rave reviews for the frosting! and i also took crumbles from the cake and sprinkled on top with some chopped pecans to make it look pretty lol. Thanks so much for your channel, you're the best!!
+Portia Jay Yayy!! So glad to hear that !!!

i tried this recipe and it was AMAZING! my whole family loved it and honestly it is way better than any of the one's in the bakeries
Since I tried this recipe, I have never look at any other red velvet recipe. I love the texture and how moist and delicious this recipe is. Thanks for sharing this 💕
Hello i just tried your red velvet & cream cheese reciepe,wanna say..i ate 2 slices of it! its is so delicious.so yummyI
I made this today for my son's 10th birthday 23.Jan 2015. and it was a hit for my swiss family.Something new for them...
Thank you for sharing your reciepe.
Let me just tell you this red velvet cake is the best red velvet cake in the universe. Baked it for my family and my 87 year old great grandmother said it was the best one she had ate in her entire life. Thank you so much. That coffee definitely does something to this cake, it was insanely moist. Merry Christmas & thank you again. God bless you.
Hello, I have just made this cake and it turned out soooooooooooo moist and when I went to turn it over to get out of the pan it stuck big time even after spraying the pans but I forgot one step I always do and didn't I put paper down in the pans so they don't stick also, so I am in the process of making the cake again with the spraying of the pans and then wax paper in the bottom of the pans and then sprayed again so I know they won't stick this time.. the cakes are in the oven again.. But this recipe is so moist like you said.. My husband said to frost the one that torn for us and I said ok but we can't stop eating it because it is so good.. Thank God I have enough ingredients to keep making this cake for my son's birthday.. He comes and gets it tomorrow.. thanks again for the recipe..
My daughter and I baked this for my husband for his Bday and it was the best cake ever! My first time baking a red velvet cake which is a household fave...will make again! Love your recipes and how quick and easy they are but always make for a great homemade taste!
My favourite cakes ever:
1. Red velvet with cream cheese frosting
2. New York cheesecake
3. Banana cake
Twins right here
Red velvet and cheesecake, YES!
I just made this for my small group today and let me tell you, it was absolutely incredible. I have never been a very successful baker and I must say this was absolutely the most moist cake ever. I cheated on the frosting for the sake of time, I just went to my local store and picked up some frosting that they make daily for their own cakes (Publix, located in their cold cake section). Another plus was that the cake was not overly sweet and didn't have that "homemade" taste, it honestly to me almost didn't need the frosting b/c the cake was so good. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world :-)
I just used this recipe last night. This cake was sooooo moist and delicious! I was so excited that it came out perfectly! Thanks so much for this recipe! 😆🍰
+Moniece Cooper so glad it was a hit!!
Grrrrrl...this cake came out so moist and delish! Thank you for posting this. It made my 2020 Thanksgiving feel like home even though I couldn't be with family. Just follow the directions as given including the coffee and you will have a perfect cake!
I’ve tried many red velvet cake recipes, but this is a winner! It’s soooooo moist and delicious really. And a plus...such an easy recipe to follow 👌🏽👌🏽😋😋
I made this cake 3 times and it never disappoints, the only cake recipe that is moist and easy to make to me. Thank you very much!
I’ve made this cake for my family a few times and it turns out great! It’s so moist! Thanks Diva!!
i seriosly suck at baking , i just baked it then i remembered i didnt put any sugar in the cake 💔😐
HHHHH I ALWAYS DO MISTAKES . BUT WHAT CAN I DO I LOVE BAKING
don't give up, believe in yourself :).
haha the next day i made cookies 🌚 i can never give up on food 💖
HAHAH that's funny XDD I just used this recipe and accidentally put a cup of coffee instead of a half cup :l
Shanchilly Potato oh gosh XD ,i tried baking cookies and forgot to add chocolate chips
Dear Monique...
Greetings all the way from Saudi Arabia I just had the last bite from my slice of this amazingly moist & insanely delicious red velvet cake.. with cream cheese frosting of course and white chocolate ganache.. I am literally speechless !!
People I cannot describe enough how MOIST and flavorful this cake is.... my husband was surprised to know it was homemade... also I have tried a different recipe of red velvet cake based on butter but THIS ONE IS THE ONE TO GO with.....
Thank you Monique and I just have to say this: your voice and the way you comment on your videos just takes it to a whole different level... it is such a joy watching your recipes ....
love you..
I tried this recipe today and it came out so well! The cake was super moist and tasty. Will definitely try out most of your recipes!! ❤
Thanks for trying it out!!
+Divas Can Cook love your content!
+Tony Caesar how about you fuck off! Ignorant ass...
+Divas Can Cook by the way, you have the cutest kids!
My son requests this as his birthday cake every year. It's absolutely amazing. I also make it for Christmas as well. Everyone loves it and your recipe is perfection. Thank you!!!
I made this cake today and I love how moist and delicious is , thanks for the recipe :)
Adriana Arellano how did you make plain hot coffee?
My birthday is next week and I love to have my Red Velvet Cake. This one I want simply because of the coffee added. I've made a chocolate cake with coffee and it was so rich and moist so I'm excited to taste this Red Velvet recipe!!
Hey!
Greetings from New Zealand, i just made your red velvet cake!
it was gone in a day.......girl you need your own tv show!
You certainly have a new fan..............THAT RED VELVET CAKE WAS OMG......SO GOOD.........I COULDNT BELIVE I MADE SOMETHING SO BEAUTFIUL IN MY LIFE......
NOM NOM NOM..........
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RECIPE.
Hi Divas Can Cook! I just want to say thank you for sharing this recipe with us. I am 16 and I made this cake for my parents for Valentine's day. It was really nice and very moist! My parents loved it so do I! Thank you, and please keep doing more Videos. Have a great day! Warmly, Shokhsanam.
If you're thinking about making this cake, JUST DO IT!! It's super easy and I can't even describe how good it is!! You'll love it and that icing is perfect! Thanks for this!! ❤
Hello, I want to ask if the cake tastes too sweet or not? Because, I think 400 gr of sugars are very much. I'm planning to make this cake, but I still doubt about the amount of sugars I should put :'))
I used 1 1/2 cups of sugar for the batter instead of 2 cups and the sweetness was just right, not too much. You may even be a able to use less than that to your taste.
Hello MB, may I ask what recipe did you use for the icing? Thank you so much. 😊
@@misskrisee6739 here it is: ruclips.net/video/KIylwiI-rds/видео.html
@@mbmb77 thank you for the response. I appreciate it!😊 will try this soon for my s.o’s birthday 😊
We made 2 red velvet cakes yesterday using this recipe. AWESOME!!!!! Moist, fluffy and full of flavor
To take this cake to another level use white chocolate cream cheese frosting! 1- 8oz. cream cheese, 11oz. of white chocolate bits(ghiradelli or private selection Kroger brand), 1 stick of butter softened, 3 T. confectioners sugar, 2 T. Lemon emulsion (hobby lobby baking isle). Boil 2-3 cups of water; remove from heat and place white chocolate in a stainless steel bowl and set on top of boiling pan rim( if you don't have a double boiler). Let it set there for 5-6 minutes before you start to stir it. Once the chips are completely melted and smooth take off pan and let it set for 1-2 minutes. While the water is boiling, cream together the cream cheese and sugar until well blended. Add the chocolate until blended the mound in softened butter; add the lemon emulsion. You may have to double the recipe to cover a 2-3 layer cake, but taste before you add more than 2T of emulsion. Enjoy!
I will definitely be trying your frosting recipe. Something else to add to the collection....Thanks
Marcia Snyder thanks x
has anyone tried this frosting recipe enhancement?!
What is lemon emulsion?
I want to try this substitution, but I want to be clear on something just in case. when you say butter, you do mean unsalted butter correct ?
This recipe was soooooooo amazing. I used it for red velvet cupcakes, and believe me they were SO soft and awesome. I'm vegetarian that's why I left out the eggs and put 1/4th tsp more baking soda and my batter was little less sweet, so I put more sugar. And the outcome was just amazing.
This is the BEST red velvet cake ever . My family was blown away by this cake,thank you Diva.
Hi, how much coffee powder did you dissolve on the half cup hot water? Thanks!
@@cakecakehooraytv6418 I used a Tablespoon of instant coffee.
Thanks for your recipe. I’ve made this cake several times and my family loves it. I just changed some ingredients, instead of oil, I used applesauce. I also reduced the sugar in half. I don’t use coloring so we call it brown velvet. It’s the best cake!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I made it last Friday, and it was the best Red Velvet Cake I'd ever had! It was also my FIRST cake I ever made by myself! I'm making another one for Thanksgiving-actually, it's in the oven now!
I hope you and your beautiful family have a great Thanksgiving! (I already know it's going to taste wonderful!)
Thank you for this recipe! My sister and I made this, and we used buttercream frosting and chocolate sauce for the outer of the cake. It was really delicious!
Just made this and WILL be my goto red velvet cake I make for my family!
I've made this recipe 3 times already and it has never failed me!! It is so moist!
OMGGG this cake is amaazing, super simple, and super moist like you said! I just made it and there's less than half left
I made this once so far and it was a HIT!! I was requested to make it again at the end of the month again. I doubled the recipe thinking I needed more but I didn't so I wrapped the cake in plastic wrap then wrapped aluminum foil around it as well as stored the leftover frosting in the freezer. I took it out about a week in a half later, thawed it out and it was like new so even after freezing, it's a perfect cake. Thank you!!
I tried this recipe in 2020 turned out amazing thank you♥️♥️
Many thanks for this recipe.My first time making a RVC and it was a super success.Everything moist and heavenly taste. I used 2 8" square pans.
Thumbs up!!!
Just made this recipe on Saturday... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! This recipe was perfect and simple. My family really tore it up lol
I made this cake and it was so AWESOME! Everyone loves it and ask me to bake it all the time!!!
Best Red Velvet cake ever!!!
It's so moist and delicious!
I made this cake Friday night. It's very flavorful and moist. This will go in my collection of recipes. Very delicious.
The absolute best red velvet cake recipe. My 2 children gobbled the whole cake up on Thanksgiving it didn't make it to midnight.
I made this cake for my sister's birthday and everyone LOVED it!!! 🤩 Even my nephew who is a chocolate lover and my aunt who doesn't really like sweets loved it! I didn't expect it to be such a succes! Thank you so much for this recipe!! 💖
Very moist cake! I love the recipe, and my friend loved it! I also suck at frosting 🙄
+Casa Matias Awesome! So glad u guys enjoyed it!
This is first time I am making this recipe , I must say I was surprise that it came out so moist and delicious I really did not need the frosting it was that good.. I did not have the buttermilk so I use vanilla coffee cream combine it with sour, I use 3/4cup cream and1/4 sour cream . this weekend I will be making two red velvet ..cakes...
Thank you for sharing your recipes.. I would love to have your sister's lemon cake recipe... Thanks...
I made this for Thanksgiving this year and it was a complete hit! Everyone loved it and it was gone before I knew it :) I used a bundt cake pan and it was perfect.
I’m going to try this recipe for thanksgiving…Did you do anything different with time or anything when using the Bundt pan?
@@candacea4445 it's been awhile since I made it in a bundt pan, but I believe I used a 9 inch. Google cake pan conversions for accuracy because you may need to double the recipe depending on the size.
Used this recipe to make red velvet cupcakes and they are divine!!!!...ended making around 25 or so cupcakes and this recipe is super easy, delicious and forever a keeper in my household!Thanks so much!
So tomorrow I will be serving this cake at a celebration for my daughter. I've just pulled them out of the oven. I say them because I've made a small high round & long/rectangular piece. I will say this it smells AWESOME & I tasted the left over in the bowl & OMG if it taste done the way it taste before ... IT'S GOING TO BE DEEEELISH... I will post results tomorrow. And yes ma'am it is MOIST. I'm not the best baker in the world but this was not hard to follow AT ALL. My daughter's favorite cake is Red Velvet & I wanted to put my touch on it & make it instead paying someone. This celebration is for strength & survival that she's made through a difficult & rare seizure disorder over the last 1 & a half. I won't make this any longer than it is but just know it's changed both of our lives. To see her progressing is a celebration in itself. Again I'll post tomorrow how it went.... Smooches 🤗
Made this cake Thursday night for my work Christmas party. It was so good. Co-workers loved it. Thanks so much!
UGH!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! You are seriously my favorite person on RUclips when it comes to food/baking ideas!!!! Loooooove the videos! Keep them coming
I started baking last year and everyone loves the red velvet cake, thanks to you. :)
It was THE BOMB!!!!! Made it like 3 times now! And keep getting requests to make another one!
Ingredients were super easy to find, recipe was super easy to follow, and the outcome was super moist and yummy! Must try! Thank you for this!
Great video. You should have put the actual recipe up along with the video. I know it's on the diva site but it would have been nice to see it here. Thx anyway
I made this today and it turned out just like the picture, extremely moist and just the right amount of sweet, everybody loved it ! Thanks for sharing, I always love all your recipes!
Hi, how much coffee powder did you dissolve on the half cup hot water? Thanks!
@@cakecakehooraytv6418 I don’t really remember, but maybe like 2 tsp ? try to make it look the same color as in the video, good luck! I hope it turns out amazing!
you guys should try this recipe. BEST RED VELVET RECIPE EVERR. thanks! youre the best!
+syee amm Awww thanks love!!!
Omg I made this cake for my husband birthday yesterday and it is the truth! So moist and delicious thanks girl 🥰
oh my gosh!! i can't wait to try this! looks deeeeelicious!
Hi monique. I tried ur red velvet cake recipe with a cream cheese frosting for my hubby's birthday and let me tell u it was a hit!! the cake was so moist, light and tasted great! got so many compliments about it. it was easy to make too. definitely my fav red velvet cake! thks loads
OMG This is so freaking good!!!! I made this cake twice already, my roommates just keep eating it up lol
Guuuuurrrrrl,i baked your red velvet cake today and oh my goodness! It was sooo moist. I have tried 2 other recipes but yours is the best.. thaaaank you so much! This recipe is highly recommended!
Hello.. M planning to bake this on V-day.. wats ur coffee preparation for this recipe?? Tnx ;)
I know it's been nearly 7 years since this recipe came out but I made it, and OMG this is the best one I've tried! I did forget to whisk the oil and sugar and added the sugar to the dry ingredients. But nonetheless this cake came out as Monique says AH-MAZING!!
My oven doesn't show degrees so I baked it on Gas Mark 3 for 40-45 mins.
For the cream cheese frosting I used the light cream cheese frosting recipe but instead of 3 cups icing sugar I used 2.
Simply PERFECT. 👌
Thank you so much for sharing!
I made your recent lemon velvet cake n it was so moist so was wondering if this is just as moist as this was done 9 years ago so would you update or it's just as good today as yesteryear
I made this cake more than 3x and it’s the most moist and easiest cake I’ve ever made! Thank you so much for the recipe!
I reduce it to be 1 1/2 cup and if you do experiment using 2 cups, I think the cream cheese frosting would balance it out to make it not too sweet. (I didn't use a recipe for the cream cheese frosting, i just use 2 blocks of cream cheese and 1/2 cup of butter and add the sugar gradually so it wont overpower the cream cheese taste) hope this helps!
My grandma had this trick where she would mix 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoons of Apple cider vinegar and it always made it taste very good :)
Would you do this in lieu of 1 tsp of baking soda and 1 tsp of distilled white vinegar?
This cake is Absolutely moist. I will be baking this third time and and am sure it will come out just as perfect as my earlier times. Thank you.
Just made these. You're amazing. Thank you very much. XxXx
does it have taste like coffee plz answer i wanna make it but my sister hates coffee
No, not at all. The coffee is only used to bring out the flavour of the cocoa. Follow her steps exactly and it will taste great, no coffee flavours. Hope this helped. X
This is my go to recipe for red velvet.i have Never come across such a moist and tasty red velvet cake recipe. Thank you so much for this♥️♥️♥️
I will definitely have to try out this recipe! Lots of celebrations coming up in May and this will be the perfect dessert. Thanks for sharing! Hugs, Tracey
I shall be attempting your recipe today..exited yet sooo nervous but your recipes never fail me. You're the best. Thanks for all your wonderful recipes!
I just made this, but in cupcake form, and it is so so good! I think the best recipe I ever made! I scrolled through every single comment and saw some people were saying it was tasteless, sunk in the middle, too oily, etc etc but none of this was the case for me. Tasteless? Use quality ingredients I.e. use Dutch processed cocoa powder. Sunk in the middle? Try not to overmix and under/over bake. Too oily? One cup isn’t too much, but since the comments scared me, I left out a little bit of oil and it wasn’t too oily in my opinion.
This recipe made me 18 regular cupcakes and 24 mini cupcakes. For my oven, 300-325F - 18-20 mins for regular cupcakes and 10 mins for minis.
I love this cake
Made this the other day and it turned out moist and decadent! Nice flavor and perfect with cream cheese frosting.
How do you make the plain coffee??
zoe johnson hot water and plain coffee ? Lol
V LS 😂😂😂
What are the measurements of the plain coffee?
Made this before and it was so AMAZING! Making it again tomorrow for a celebration!
You should try a recipe for this using beets and raspberries instead of food colouring
Just made this cake again today and instead of TollHouse Unsweetened Cocoa, I used Hershey's.. And oh my, what a difference, the chocolate flavor came out much better, as always, this cake is delicious and moist, rich in flavor!!
