✨ LET’S MAKE BUTTERCREAM SCALLOPS & STRIPES! ✨ I love challenging myself and trying new techniques because that’s how we grow, improve, and discover what we’re capable of! 💪🏻🎂 This cake started as one of my **“crazy ideas”**… and I’m so happy it actually worked out beautifully! 😍🙌🏻 I’m using **Swiss meringue buttercream** to create these gorgeous scallops and stripes.

❤️ My favorite Red Velvet Cake recipe is finally here! ❤️ I made this Red Velvet Cake last week and decided to make a 3x batch, so this was the perfect time to use my 10 qt digital mixer from Nunus baking essentials And this Red Velvet Cake? 😍 SO soft, moist, and delicious! I made a little tweak from the original recipe @sugargeekshow and I think it made the cake even softer and yummier! ✨ Here’s my recipe: Dry ingredients: • 9 oz all-purpose flour • 5 oz cake flour • 13.5 oz granulated sugar • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder • 1 tsp salt • 1 tsp baking soda Wet ingredients: • 100 g egg yolks, room temperature • 4 oz vegetable oil • 6 oz melted unsalted butter, not hot • 8 oz buttermilk, room temperature • 3 Tbsp sour cream • 1 Tbsp white vinegar • 1 Tbsp vanilla • 1 Tbsp red gel food coloring 🎂 Instructions: 1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F. 2️⃣ Prepare three 6-inch round cake pans with parchment paper liners. 3️⃣ Make sure all your cold ingredients are at room temperature. This is important because it helps prevent the batter from breaking or curdling. 4️⃣ Hand whisk together the egg yolks, vegetable oil, buttermilk, vinegar, melted butter, and vanilla. Set aside. 5️⃣ In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the all-purpose flour, cake flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. 6️⃣ Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed for about 1 minute, just until everything is combined. Then add the food coloring. 7️⃣ Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. 8️⃣ Bake for approximately 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. ❤️ For the color: Want a bright red cake? Use regular cocoa powder. Want that beautiful deep red/maroon color? I usually use 1 Tbsp regular cocoa powder + 1 Tbsp black cocoa powder. This cake pairs SO beautifully with cream cheese filling! 🤤
