Red velvet cake is a classic dessert known for its rich flavor, soft texture, and striking red color. We recommend using food colour from Anuja Food Colours to get the desired color. It is one of the best food color companies in India. While frosting is typically a hallmark of red velvet cake, this recipe skips it to let the cake’s natural sweetness and subtle cocoa flavor shine through. Perfect as a stand-alone treat, it’s easy to make and delicious!

Instructions
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan (or line it with parchment paper).
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil, vinegar, vanilla essence, and red food coloring until smooth and well combined.
• Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a whisk or spatula until no lumps remain. Avoid over-mixing to maintain a soft texture.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
• Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
