Red velvet cake is one of those cakes that has a name that speaks for itself. This cake was easy to make with very few ingredients. I purchased the Red Velvet Baking emulsion a while ago and wasn't sure when I would use it. Today seemed like a good day to try something different.
Ingredients
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup of whipped cream cheese
- 2 Tbsp of milk
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° degrees.
Grease and lightly flour an 10-inch spring foam pan and set aside.
In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar using a hand blender. Mix until the mixture is creamy.
Add the egg, Red velvet baking emulsion, and vanilla extract. Mix together until well blended.
Add the flour mixture and combine all ingredients until well blended and then add the milk. Stir the mixture until it's smooth and creamy.

Add the cake batter to the prepared soring foam pan and bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center, comes out clean. Let the cake cool.
For the frosting:
Add the powdered sugar and milk to a medium bowl. Using a handblander, blend the ingredients, just until blended. Stir in the cream cheese just until blended. Add more milk if needed.
The frosting should be thick and easy to spread.

When the cake is cool, remove the sides of the pan and spread the frosting evenly onto the cake.
Cool and Enjoy! Makes 9 - 12 servings.
