This One-bowl Eggless Red velvet Cake is super easy!!
I am not a great fan of Red velvet cakes. From my point of view, I think Red Velvet cakes are just famous for its color rather than its taste. Tell me, who doesn’t feel attracted towards a bright red cake and white frosting??
I believe that contrast of Red and White is what made this cake popularly famous for V’day celebration, as Red is a color for LOVE.
I wanted to make red velvet cakes for my followers who are a fan of it!! So here is the recipe finally.
Coming to the flavor, it has both Vanilla and a hint of Chocolate. But when you add lot of cocoa powder, the color of cake will turn maroon rather than red. Just a small amount of cocoa will do, if you need a reddish color.
You can make this same recipe in cooker and check my cooker cake recipe to know how to bake in cooker.
Notes:
- All ingredients should be at room temperature.
- Do not over beat the batter, since vinegar and baking soda when in contact starts to react immediately. Put the batter to bake as soon as you mix.
- You can make this same recipe as cupcakes.
- Remaining Frosting can be stored in fridge for 5 days and used later.
Here are few of my eggless bakes:
