My Red-Velvet Cake

Hey guys! 

I know it's been AGES since I've updated my post, so today, I decided to share with you my secret and my most favourite recipe of the ultimate and the most decadent red-velvet cake recipe as an apology. I'm known in school for these (: Oh, and did I mention these were EGGLESS? Let's get going!

Ingredients :
1 cup plain flour
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 and 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 drops red food colour
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla essence

That's it!

1. Preheat the oven to 180.C.
2. Beat the sugar and butter until the sugar dissolves.
3. Sift all the dry ingredients to a bowl, and then fold it into the butter and sugar mixture.
4. In a small bowl, mix the red colouring and the vanilla essence with the buttermilk, and add it to the flour mixture.
5. Grease and line an 8" tin and pour the batter inside.
6. Bake for 30-40 mins until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 

You can double or triple the ingredients to fit your crowd. One batch of this recipe makes one cake which you can cut into two layers. 

Hope you try this soon! I'll be glad to receive any comments or feedbacks! Leave them down in the comment box below!

Cake cheers!
