I know this isn't a Disney recipe but wanted to share an actual good recipe for red velvet. I was not impressed w/ the red velvet cupcake at DHS. It was so dry I threw it away! I have made this cupcake recipe into a cake two times with no issues. People always come back begging for more with this cake!
Like I said I use this recipe in a standard cake pan. I bake at 350 degrees for 30-35ish minutes but am constantly checking on the cake.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups cake flour (not self- rising), sifted
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon red gel-paste food color
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together cake flour, cocoa, and salt.
-
With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whisk together sugar and oil until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Mix in food color and vanilla.
-
Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of buttermilk, and whisking well after each. Stir together the baking soda and vinegar in a small bowl (it will foam); add mixture to the batter, and mix on medium speed 10 seconds.
-
Divide batter evenly . Transfer tins to wire racks to cool completely before removing. Cake can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
-
To finish, use a small offset spatula to spread cupcakes with frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
One 8 oz softened cream cheese
One stick softened butter
One cup sifted powdered sugar
One teaspoon vanilla
Blend all very smooth & creamy. This recipe is just enough for the cake! It is pretty good icing. This is a known staple in my recipe box. Please feel free to ask any questions!
