I have wanted to try to make a red velvet cake for a long time and that is why I chose it for dessert Friday night. I tried to make a red vlevet cake cake with my friend at one point in college and it came out good but this one was better. The more I cook gluten-free the better I become.

2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup butter milk
2 Tablespoons red food coloring
1/2 cup sweet rice, white rice, tapioca, and soy flours
1/2 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
1. Preheat oveb to 350 degrees
2. Grease and flour 13x9x2 in baking pan or 2 9 inch baking pans
3. Beat butter and sugar into a large bowlk
4. Add eggs and vanilla beating well
5. In a small bowl stir together buttermilk and food coloring
6. In a medium sized bowl stirl together flours, cocoa and salt
7. Alternativley add flour mixture, and coloring mixture to butter mixture
8. Stir in baking soda and vinegar
9. Pour into prepared pan
10. Bake for 30- 35 minutes or until done
11. Cool Completely before frosting
Cream Cheese Frosting:
6 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup butter softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
milk (if needed)
1. Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla
3. Mix until thoroughly combined (I had to add a couple Tablespoons of milk to mine to make it a little more spreadable)
I love it...It was so good I almost went for seconds and your right it is so much better than the boxed stuff. It wonderful with the main dish and wrapped up the whole evening with a piece of cake and a glass of milk. Yum yum!
ReplyDeleteOh, just a helpful hint when using the food coloring ... wear and apron.
