Paul Hollywood's Red Velvet Cake

Ingredients:

  • 250g plain flour
  • 300g granulated sugar
  • 40g cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 240ml vegetable oil
  • 240ml buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 400g cream cheese
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 400g icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (150°C fan) and grease three 20cm round cake tins.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar until well combined.
  4. Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake tins. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cakes to cool in the tins for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the icing sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy and well combined.
  8. Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of one layer, followed by another layer of cake. Repeat for the next layer and cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Decorate as desired.
  9. Slice, serve, and enjoy this wonderfully delicious Red Velvet Cake!
