Red velvet cake

Ingredients
Cake:
1 ½ cups white sugar

½ cup shortening

2 eggs

4 tablespoons red food coloring

2 tablespoons cocoa

1 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

Icing:
1 cup milk

5 tablespoons all-purpose flour


1 cup white sugar

1 cup butter, room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round pans.

2. Make the cake: Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar and shortening together in a large bowl with an
electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each
addition. Combine red food coloring and cocoa to make a paste; add to creamed
mixture.

3. Mix buttermilk, salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla together in a small bowl. Add flour,
alternating with buttermilk mixture, mixing just until incorporated.

4. Mix vinegar and baking soda together; gently fold into cake batter and pour into
prepared pans.

5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out
clean, about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the
edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30
minutes

6. Make the icing: Heat milk and flour in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly,
until thick. Set aside to cool completely

7. Meanwhile, beat sugar, butter, and vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric
mixer until light and fluffy. Add cooled flour mixture and beat until frosting is a good
spreading consistency. Frost cake layers when completely cool.
