What Is Eggless Red Velvet Cake?

Eggless Red Velvet Cake is a beautiful cake with an awesome texture and great taste. Cocoa powder and butter milk give a unique flavor to the cake. Cream cheese frosting adds not only to the look of the cake but also its oomph.

Red velvet cake is all about the correct ratio and quantity of cocoa powder, buttermilk, and red food coloring. I have used AmeriColor’s red food coloring. 1 tbsp of it gave me the most gorgeous red color. As regards the frosting, cream cheese frosting does most justice to the eggless red velvet cake. But you can always go for the classically cooked frosting or the old-fashioned white frosting.

Maybe I like to experiments with other cakes such as eggless chocolate truffle cake, eggless marble cake, eggless tutti frutti cakeeggless sponge cake etc. And may be you too would like to try these :).

Hi! I am CA Vini Mehta. A Chartered Accountant by profession, a food blogger by passion! First of all, I would like to thank you for stopping by at Viniscookbook, I hope you have a good time. Here, yo...u will find the recipes which have been tried, at times re-tried in my kitchen and relished on the dining table. I am mother of two kids and the wife of a person with a high and selective taste sense, so basically anything, before finding its place on the blog, has many levels to cross and clear. This journey started a couple of years back. Before that I was making the most usual kind of food. The only experiment used to be asking my mother how to make something new or different☺. Then, one day, I tried a recipe for butter cookies. And they did not get to go in the container as they were over before I could store them. That day I was introduced to the joy of experimenting with recipes. And I loved everything else that followed especially garnishing and photographing food. I am still not well versed with the photography dos and don’ts but I love to experiment and learn, be it photography or cooking. Hope you too enjoy this journey as much as I do☺! Stay healthy, stay tuned!.
