SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK RED VELVET CAKE



Southern Buttermilk Red Velvet Cake image

Don't be afraid of the deep red color-there is more than a hint of chocolate flavor in this fun and very tasty cake to serve anytime, but especially at Valentine's Day and Christmas. I have also made it into cupcakes for the kiddies to take to school and share. The frosting is buttery and not-too sweet. This is a traditional cake from Chicago to the deep south. Back East you will even find cake mixes for an easy version of "Red Velvet Cake". I tried several versions of this cake and favored this adaptation of Gale Gand's from her "Just a Bite" cookbook

Time 1h

Yield 1 3 layer, 8-inch cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup red food coloring
2 tablespoons cocoa
2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
  • Cream together butter and sugar with electric mixer until fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time and beat well after each.
  • Make a paste with the food coloring and cocoa.
  • (It takes a few minutes to get the chocolate to absorb liquid--be patient and keep stirring).
  • Add this paste to the butter/sugar mixture.
  • Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda.
  • Add it to the sugar/butter mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing well between additions.
  • (Begin and end with dry ingredients).
  • After last addition of flour mixture, stir in vanilla and vinegar.
  • Beat for another minute and then divide into 3 prepared pans.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes, or until done.
  • Cool for 10 minutes and then remove from pan to wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make icing: Mix flour and milk in small pan and cook over low heat until it is thick (stirring often--constantly near end).
  • This will take about 10 minute.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla.
  • Beat until it is very light and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
  • When the flour mixture is cooled, add it to the butter mixture and beat until just mixed.
  • Assemble the cake with a thin layer of icing between the layers and cover the top and sides of cake.

  • To make the cake: Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease two 8-inch or 9-inch cake pans that are at least 2-inches high, and line the bottom of the pan with a round piece of parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Beat in oil. The batter might look a bit curdled, that's ok. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Add vanilla and vinegar and beat until combined. Add red food coloring, until desired color is reached. With the mixer on low speed, add half of the dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Add buttermilk, followed by the rest of the dry ingredients. Do not over mix.
  • Divide batter evenly between pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in the pan on a wire rack until they're easy to handle, then remove from pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
