Loving Red Velvet Cake with a mountain of white, fluffy icing on top! It’s the perfect cake to bake for your Valentine!
Cake Baking Tips:
- 3″ X 8″ round cake pans are an ideal size for three-layer cakes.
- Always place a round piece of parchment paper in the cake pans, spray with Pam, fill 1/2 full with cake batter, and bake in a 350º preheated oven.
- Bake the cake ahead, cool completely, wrap in foil, freeze. Take out of the freezer 3-4 hours before you frost it.
- When a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- Test the oven’s temperature with an extra oven thermometer. Adjust the temperature if necessary. My oven was 75º off!
- With a long serrated knife, trim off the top mound of each cake layer.
- Be sure to make plenty of icing. Use a flat spatula to transfer each cake layer.
- A large offset spatula is the best tool for frosting a cake. Watch the video for tips on frosting the cake.
- Bake cakes for all occasions.
- Enjoy!
