What is red velvet?

Red velvet is more than just a cake with red food coloring. It’s special because it contains vinegar and buttermilk, which react with cocoa powder to create a deep maroon color, giving the cake its name. While additional red food coloring is often added for a brighter hue (originating as a marketing tactic in the 1920s), vinegar and buttermilk also contribute unique flavors that set red velvet apart from regular chocolate cake. And, of course, there’s the iconic cream cheese frosting.

Ingredient Notes:

For this red velvet bundt cake with cream cheese glaze, you’ll need simple ingredients:

  • Vegetable oil: Keeps the cake moist; can use canola or neutral olive oil.
  • Cake flour: Makes the cake soft and tender; all-purpose flour works too.
  • Cocoa powder: A blend like King Arthur Flour Triple Cocoa Blend is recommended.
  • Buttermilk: Adds richness; you can use whole milk or sour cream as alternatives.
  • White vinegar: Adds tanginess and reacts with cocoa powder; optional but recommended.
  • Red food coloring: Adjust to your preference.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality non-stick bundt pan, such as Nordic Ware, for easy removal.
  • Consider investing in an airtight bundt cake keeper for storing the cake in the fridge for up to 5 days.

FAQs:

  1. How long does the bundt cake last? Up to 5 days in the fridge; use an airtight bundt cake keeper.
  2. Why did my cake stick to the pan? The pan and nonstick spray quality matter; consider using Nordic Ware pans.
  3. What is the flavor of red velvet? Red velvet has a mildly chocolate flavor, complemented by a light, tangy cream cheese frosting.
