Instructions

Gluten-Free Red Velvet Cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Prepare two 9-inch cake pans by spraying with cooking spray, lining pans with cut-to-size parchment or wax paper on the bottom, and then spraying the parchment. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl whisk together sugar, eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla, and food coloring.

Step 3

Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Vigorously whisk or stir to combine.

Step 4

Divide the cake batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Be careful to not overbake. Remove from the oven and cool in pans for 5 minutes. Turn cakes onto wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Fluffy Cream Cheese Frosting

Step 5

In a bowl beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Set aside.

Step 6

Pour heavy cream into a separate clean, large bowl. Beat on high until it holds shape and peaks form with the consistency of whipped cream.

Step 7

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.

Step 8

Assembly: Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with frosting. Top with 2nd layer and spread remaining frosting all over the top and sides. For best taste, serve at room temperature, but refrigerate leftovers.
