Red Velvet cake with a sweet cream cheese frosting | A classic Southern cake



New Orleans native Charlie Andrews demonstrates how to make a Red Velvet cake from scratch. It’s a mild and slightly tangy chocolate cake that gets its bright Red Color from Red food coloring or beet root along with the tanginess of the buttermilk, vinegar and baking soda. The cake is also frosted with a sweet cream cheese frosting. You can get 8 to 10 or possibly more servings depending on how you slice it. It’s classic southern holiday dessert, and it’s absolutely delicious. I hope you all will give this classic cake try.

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. I am in love with a red velvet cake. However, I can never get the right consistency and mine never do turn red a bright red. It’s always a dark red.

    GEEZ. That cake looks better than both the Southern Biscuit all purpose flour bags and the Swan's Cake flour logos πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰. I'm making this over the weekend.

    I didn’t refrigerate it. The next day and afterwards it was absolutely delicious! Thanks for the recipe.

    I made this Red Velvet cake for Christmas following your recipe instructions and it turned out great. I used all of the ingredients including White Lily cake flour. This is a very delicate rich sweet cake. My son had been asking me to bake a RV cake and I did not disappoint him. πŸ’― Thanks Charlie!
