Instructions
Creating Red Velvet Loaf Cake is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure your cake turns out perfectly:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and vegetable oil until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring.
4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
5. Add Vinegar: Finally, mix in the vinegar, which will help the cake rise.
6. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Frost the Cake: Once the cake has cooled, frost it with cream cheese frosting as desired.
