Red velvet cake recipe | Cosy Life

Ingredients

• 250g butter, softened (take out of the fridge at least an hour before you want to bake!)
• 600g caster sugar
• 6 eggs
• 2 tablespoons red food colouring
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 375g plain flour
• 250ml buttermilk – I couldn’t find any in Tesco, so I used Kefir instead
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 1 tablespoon vinegar – apparently white wine, white malt and white cider vinegar are all fine. I wish I’d known this – it wasn’t clarified in the recipe I followed!
• 2 x 200g tubs cream cheese
• 350g white chocolate
• 250g butter, softened
