My wife never tried red velvet cake before she had to start eating gluten free. She found a recipe online and decided to bake this cake for Christmas as at our house. I was really impressed with how moist and flavorful the cake was. Our guests were surprised it was gluten free.
Ingredients:
- 1 and 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 and 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 2 1/2 cups gf flour blend
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp xantham gum
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 bottle (oz) red food coloring
- 1 tbsp cocoa
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350.
Mix oil & sugar in a mixer, then add eggs one at a time after first beating them. Sift all dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add flour to the mixer in parts, alternating the flour with the buttermilk. She did this about 4 times but you could probably get away with 3 since you need to begin and end with the flour. In a seperate bowl, mix the vanilla, food coloring and cocoa then add to the mixer. After mixing well, pour the mix into two round 8 inch cake pans (lightly spray with oil first). Bake 25-3o minutes or until a toothpick comes out pretty clean. Wait until cooled to frost. You can make your own cream cheese frosting, but she used Duncan Hines frosting and it was very good.
