The infamous red velvet cake. Rich in colour and even richer in taste - this cake is a luxurious slice of heaven, smothered in cream cheese frosting, and perfect for any occasion.
<h2>How to make a red velvet cake red:</h2>
When baking our simple red velvet cake recipe, we recommend that you use red food colouring gel as opposed to liquid food colouring to achieve the classic bright red sponge. The coloured gel will hold its colour better when baked; simply add as much or as little as you need to reach your desired colour.
If you'd rather make <a href="https://www.bakingmad.com/recipes/valentine-s-red-velvet-cupcakes">red velvet cupcakes</a>, then this recipe can be simple adapted to muffin cases; just bake them at 180c for 20-25 mins, and pipe with cream cheese frosting once completely cooled.
<h2>How to make a pink velvet cake:</h2>
To achieve a baby pink colour (see our recipe images for inspiration), the cocoa powder is omitted from the recipe. To counter this, the flour is increased from 300g to 330g.
It’s best to use a pink gel or oil-based food colouring to get a baby pink colour. Red food colouring will create more of a pinky-orange colour. We used about 2 teaspoons of pink food colouring.
