The BEST Red Velvet Cake Recipe. Easy. Moist. Homemade

Tasted great! Sadly the recipe didn't work well for cupcakes (it was too fragile and didn't hold its structure as cupcakes). Otherwise, I'd recommend it as a good cake recipe:) Also, you can't taste the coffee 👍

I made cupcakes with this recipe. Same ingredients and oven temp (around 24 minutes). Made 24 cupcakes. They were delicious!! Very moist and a party favorite.

recommend parchment paper lining as cake is extremely moist & fell apart when removing from pan

This was delicious. I was nearly that person who skipped the coffee, DONT DO IT. I was worried you would taste it, but there is no coffee taste it just makes a flavorful and moist cake.

Made it for my daughter's 9th birthday party! Everyone loved it, especially the icing

Hands down the best red velvet cake recipe out there. I have made this for years ever since I was a kid. I will never make another red velvet cake unless it's this recipe. Be wary of over mixing; your cake will be extremely fragile already, but over mixing will cause it to be crumbly straight out of the oven. Do not skip the coffee. I use Folgers instant coffee (I make it with water, not milk), and it helps the taste so much. I use parchment paper to get it out of the pan. No amount of letting it cool or greasing has allowed me to cake a cake out of the pan without it completely getting demolished 😅. I'm most likely doing something wrong, but I'm sticking to the parchment paper. EDIT: I have finally discovered how to make it stop sticking 🥹🥹🥹 just drown the bottom in flour, it'll be okay.

Wonderful moist & delicious cake with beautiful deep red color & great spring! Ingredients of note I used: Swans Cake flour - grocery store AmeriColor Soft Gel Paste Food Color (4.5oz bottle) - Amazon Guittard Cocoa Rouge Cocoa Powder - Amazon I substituted cake flour (remember to add 2 TBSP per 1 cup when doing this, 1 cup APF = 1 cup + 2 TBSP CF). I used 3 TBSP of cocoa powder (1 extra, would use up to 4 TBSP). When using this food coloring gel, it's like a concentrate, I only needed about a 1/4oz per cake. (Can provide photo of the cakes prior to frosting for color reference upon request.)
