Red Velvet Cake Recipe with buttercream Icing
Red velvet cake is traditionally a red, red-brown, mahogany, maroon, crimson or scarlet colored chocolate layer cake, layered with white cream cheese or buttercream.
It was my daughter’s friends sleepover party so she asked me to make a red velvet cake with buttercream icing. Normally red velvet cake is covered with cream cheese icing but because my daughter doesn’t like that and this cake was for her so I made buttercream to layer the cake.
I made a little amount of buttercream because I didn’t want to make this cake heavy and over sweet. So I layer the cake with very thin layer of buttercream inside and out side. You can double the quantity of buttercream if you are making it for a special occasion and want to decorate it more with buttercream.
After finishing the cake I looked at it and thought why didn’t I make it on Valentine’s day đ It is more like a romantic cake. Khair Romantic or for a party it is a nice delicious cake so do try and share your feed backs đ
