    The BEST Fluffy & Moist White Velvet Cake Recipe (from Scratch):
    *makes 2 - 8 inch round cake layers
    3 & 1/3 cups (14 oz) cake flour *sprinkle over cup and level
    1 & 1/2 & 1/3 cups (13 oz) granulated sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 Tablespoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    egg whites from 5 large eggs (5 oz) ROOM TEMPERATURE
    1/2 cup (4 oz) vegetable oil
    1 & 1/4 cup (10 oz) buttermilk ROOM TEMPERATURE
    2 sticks (8 oz) unsalted butter ROOM TEMPERATURE
    2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    1. Preheat oven to 335 degrees Fahrenheit. (Oven rack should be in the middle of the oven.) Take butter, eggs and buttermilk out of the refrigerator to warm to room temperature. Butter should be soft but not melted.
    2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. (You can also use an electric hand mixer.) Mix on lowest speed just until combined.
    3. Slowly add softened butter small chunks at a time to the dry ingredients and mix on low until mixture looks like coarse sand.
    4. Add 1/2 cup of buttermilk and the oil to the mixing bowl and mix on low until dry ingredients are just moistened. Increase the speed to medium (I use 4 on my stand mixer) and mix for 2 minutes. (This is a good time to separate your egg whites from yolks.)
    5. Scrape your mixing bowl. Add the remaining buttermilk, egg whites and vanilla to a liquid measuring cup and whisk together. Add approximately 1/3 of you egg mixture and mix on low for about 15 seconds. Repeat this step 2 more times.
    6. Scrape the bowl. (If needed mix on low for a few more seconds.) Grease your cake pans with cake goop (equal parts flour, vegetable oil & vegetable shortening). If coloring your batter add gel food coloring now FOLDING the color into your batter so you do not over mix the batter. Add parchment circles to the bottom of the cake pans if using colored batter. Fill pans 1/2 full and tap the batter to level it out and get out air bubbles.
    7. Put cakes in oven and check after 20 minutes. If the cakes are still “jiggly” add another 10 minutes. When not jiggly add another 5 minutes and check with a toothpick. If not done check with a toothpick in 2 minute intervals. Cake is done when a toothpick comes out of the center clean.
    8. When cakes are done if they are domed up at all place a towel over them and gently push down with an oven mitt until level or trim off. This is to help with building the cake layers.
    9. Let cakes cool for 10 minutes before flipping them out of the cake pans with oven mitts onto a cooling rack. You can run a toothpick around cakes before flipping them for reassurance if you would like.
    10. Let cakes cool to room temperature before frosting. Do not store the cakes in the refrigerator before they are crumb coated because refrigerators dry out cakes. If trimming cakes It is okay to let cakes chill in the refrigerator for up to an hour if wrapped in plastic wrap. Can be frozen for up to 2 months in a FREEZER ziploc bag or aluminum foil.

    Dontou recommend baking all cales at the same time? Or of you dont have six cake tins can tou do say 2-3 at a time?

      I recommend only baking two at a time but this isn't because of the baking it's actually about the batter. Most recipes make two 8 inch cake pans so I recommend only baking two at a time because if batter sits on the counter too long before baking your cake can turn out dense. Just keep in mind that they will bake at different speeds when they are different colors (I am not sure why...maybe the amount of gel icing color used or the amount of extra folding to mix in the icing color) so make sure to do the toothpick test on each one. Also, where the cake is placed in the oven can change the baking time too. This is my recommendation but it's not the end of the world if your batter sits out too long if you want to keep things simple and bake as many as you can at once. Just use the toothpick test to make sure your cake is fully baked.🌈😊 If you want to bake on two racks in your oven I would skim an article quick online about the best placement for this.

    Hi and thank you for this! I did the 6 inch layers as I like the look! I have to transport this, do I dowel it ( even though i don’t want to ) even though it will be cold?

      You are so very welcome! 😊Technically you should but I think it will be fine without dowels.

    Can i use all purpose flour in this recipe?

    • @tastebakery
      @tastebakery  Рік тому

      Yes you can but it won't be as light and fluffy and you have to make some adjustments. Here is a good article that instructs you how to do this www.southernliving.com/food/kitchen-assistant/cake-flour-vs-all-purpose-flour Hope that helps.😊
