Red Velvet Cream Cheesecake | with step by step photos and video. Besides the basic flour, cocoa powder and sugar that you need, you also need lemon juice or white vinegar and butter milk to make this cake moist. These ingredients are acidic in nature and react with the baking soda to make this cake truly soft and velvety. So please don’t skip using these ingredients. For the exact red colour, use super red artificial gel food color. You can use liquid color as well.
To make butter milk, simply add 1 teaspoon white vinegar to milk. Let it rest on the counter for 5-7 minutes. You will see that the milk curdles a little. You need to add this mixture to your red velvet cake. It makes the cake super soft and velvety.
Do consider some these things while preparing the recipe. Firstly, we have used super red food colour in this recipe which can be replaced with normal red food color as well. But while using normal food colors vary the amount based on the color thickness. Secondly, this cake is typically prepared with maida flour, however wheat flour can also be used as alternative. Lastly, apply the cream cheese frosting only after the baked cake is completely cooled down.
The Baking time may vary depending on the size of the cake mold:
- 7″ inch Cake pan 60-65 minutes
- 8″ inch Pan 50-55 minutes
- 9″ inch Pan 40-45 minutes
Cake Cheese Frosting
Moist, incredible flavor combination with cream cheese frosting, this cake is amazingly delicious. The cake pairs beautifully with cream cheese frosting where the tartness balances out the sweet flavor of the cake. Both butter and cream cheese for the frosting should be at room temperature before beating.
