Southern Red Velvet Cake [0001050]

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cocoa powder (gluten-free)
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons red food coloring (gluten-free)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar (gluten-free)
Cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade, gluten-free)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pans.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, pure vanilla extract, and distilled white vinegar.

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until well combined and smooth.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of cream cheese frosting on top of one of the cakes.

Place the second cake on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting.

Decorate your Southern Red Velvet Cake as desired.
