Red Velvet cake

Good morning my lovely viewers J. Today I want to share my favourite desert. Red Velvet Cake! Before this i don't like this cake because to much topping cream cheese. I never try this cake before this until my friends gave this kind of cake as my birthday present. First try its look not bad. But after that, I falling love with this cake! Its so delicious.
To make more satisfying, I try to bake this cake at home with my mom. First bake not really good because this is the first time. But we try again until this cake taste good. So you guys don't give up okay? ;) 
This Red Velvet Cake has been taste tested and given a big thumbs up by many people because it’s a rather large cake. 
I’m really enjoying baking at the moment. There is something so satisfying about making something as pretty as Red Velvet Cake.










Cook time : 30 minutes

Ingredients

·2 cups all-purpose flour
·1 teaspoon baking soda
·1 teaspoon baking powder
·1 teaspoon salt
· 2 Tablespoons unsweetened, cocoa powder
· 2 cups sugar
·1 cup vegetable oil or canola
· 2 eggs
·1 cup buttermilk
·2 teaspoons vanilla extract
·1-2 oz. red food coloring, more or less depending on how deep you want the color
· ½ cup plain hot coffee, prepared (don't skip this ingredient)
·1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar

Instructions

1.      Preheat oven to 325 F.
2.      Generously grease and flour (2) 9-inch round cake pans. Set aside.
3.      In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
4.      In a large bowl, combine the sugar and vegetable oil.
5.      Mix in the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and red food coloring until combined.
6.      Stir in the coffee and white vinegar.
7.      Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients a little at a time, mixing after each addition, just until combined. (Batter will be thin)
8.      Pour the batter evenly into each pan.
9.      Bake in the middle rack for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it. Do not over bake as the cake will continue to cook as it cools.
10.  Let pans cool on a cooling rack until the pans are warm to the touch.
11.  Slide a knife or offset spatula around the inside of the pans to loosen the cake from the pan.
12.  Gently remove the cakes from the pan and let them finish cooling. (The warm cake will be very delicate)
13.  Frost the cake with cream cheese frosting when the cakes have cooled completely.


~TIPS~
Be sure to not overbake! Check the cake at 30 minutes as some ovens run really hot.
Cakes are really moist and you may need to refrigerate them to firm them up before stacking and frosting.
To bake cupcakes, bake for 18-20 minutes, checking at the 18-minute mark
