Go Big Red Cake Recipe

Go Big Red Cake

  • 1/2 cup butter-softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 ounces red food coloring
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon soda

Frosting

  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

I’ve had a lot of people ask me for this recipe so…here it is!  Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixer.  Add the eggs and beat well.  Then add the food coloring.  Mix the flour and salt together.  Alternate adding the flour mixture with the buttermilk and vanilla.  Beat well.  Mix vinegar and soda together and add to the batter.  Bake in two  8-inch round pans for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.

For the frosting, cook the flour and milk together until it is think and then cool.  Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla together.  Add the milk mixture and beat until it is the consistence of whipped cream.  Frost the cooled cake and refrigerate.

The first time I made the cake I didn’t keep the cake in the refrigerator and the frosting melted and didn’t keep it’s shape.  It also tastes much better cold!

    So, it’s red velvet w/out the cocoa added? Interesting! Do you not taste the food coloring? This cake would be good for Ohio State fans (which we are, here in Ohio!) too! 🙂 I should try it sometime!

    Looks really yummy Esther, very similar to the Red velvet cupcakes I posted a recipe for but somehow yours looks lighter and more red, I will have to give it a go. One of the recipes I posted called for a whole bottle of red food colouring! I like that yours is a lot less.
