Classic Red Velvet Cake的做法步骤

步骤 1

Pre heat the oven to 170C/325F/gas 3. Grease and line a deep, round 15cm/6in tin. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla together in a bowl until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition (if the mixture looks curdled add a spoonful of the flour.)

步骤 2

Mix the yogurt with the food colouring - it should look very, very red since the mixture will fade once cooked. Beat the yogurt into the cake mixture.

步骤 3

Fold in the remaining flour and cocoa powder, followed by the milk until well combined. Spoon the mixture into the cake tin and bake for 1 hour 20 minutes or until well risen and golden-brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

步骤 4

Remove the cake from the tin and leave to cool for five minutes, then place onto a cooling rack and set aside to cool completely.

步骤 5

For the icing, mix the butter and cream cheese together in a bowl. Then beat in the icing sugar a little at a time. Once all the icing sugar has been added, add the lemon juice and beat the icing for five minutes or until paler in colour.

步骤 6

Slice the cake into three equal layers and sandwich them together with the icing. Finish with a layer of icing on top.
