In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a Red Velvet Cake. This is an “early” Valentine’s dessert for her husband, Rick. It is a four-layer cake that is chocolate-y and colored with red food coloring. It is a beautiful cake! Ingredients: 1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened to room temperature 2 1/2 cups sugar 6 eggs 3 cups self-rising flour (If you use plain flour, for each cup of plain flour, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder to covert to self-rising flour.) 8 oz. sour cream 2 teaspoons vanilla 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (2) 1-oz. bottles red food coloring Beat 1 cup butter at medium speed with electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add 2 1/2 cups sugar, continuing to beat until light and fluffy. Add 6 eggs, one at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Stir together 3 cups self-rising flour and 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder. Add to butter mixture alternately with 8 oz. sour cream, beating at low speed just until blended. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla and (2) 1-oz. bottles red food coloring. Stir until well blended. Divide batter into 4 equal parts, and pour batter into (4) 9-inch cake pans that have been greased and floured. Use 2 racks to bake the 4 layers in a 350 oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in each comes out clean. Remove cake pans from oven and set aside and cool to room temperature before frosting. Now, make your Cream Cheese Frosting. You will find an upload for this recipe in …
