  • Why would you reduce the time before you check if you increase the amount of cakes? Wouldn't you make if longer cause there's more cakes that need to be cooked? D:

  • @xPoppyBear I didn't make more cake, this was one batch but I used 3 pans instead of 2. If I had only used 2 pans the batter would have been deeper in the pans and the cooking time would have been longer.

  • @SeriousCakes I see~! Thank you. :3

  • doesnt all that food coloring make it bitter tasting?

  • @lilpackerfreak Not at all, I could only taste the cake :)

  • The music you use is so stress free! I love it. It makes what you do so seamless and elegant. You're the best!

  • Do you ever show the second part of the video? I'm intrigued! Could you post the link here so it makes it easier to find?

  • can I bake this at high altitude without change some of the ingredients,or do i follow the high altitude way? Thanks...

  • Is that Star Trek i hear?!

    

  • @sevendaysofsound Yep :D

  • May I ask, so what's the purpose of 'minus 2 tbsp of flour' at the start of your clip which you said we will find out later?

  • @jocksh It's replaced later with 2 tbs. of cocoa powder.

  • Why aren't u showing us the cake ? ;3

  • hello SC, just wanna know what brand of food colouring did you use and wouldnt that large amount make your cake taste bitter?

  • ima make a BLUE velvet cake for easter today, yeeee, using ur recipe tho, love it.

  • you're now a member of "LOLERS" XD

  • Red velvet goes great with cream cheese icing like aunt says. Do you have recipies and reconmedations ?

  • hi! whenever i make cakes, they always come out DRY! am i overmixing or is it something else?

  • I love your measuring tool for shortening

  • Where's cream cheese frosting i clicked but still takes me to cake recipe?

  • I absolutely LOVE vanilla butter & nut flavoring, I use it to make "yellow" cake, but I've never thought about using it in a red velvet. I usually use Martha's recipe for red velvet, but I'll have to try this one. I love watching your videos, and they all have such good music too! (Also, I have the same measuring spoons, ha ha.)

  • I used this recipe to make a massive batch of cake pops and it worked great! Even though I did use shortening the cakes did still come out a bit greasy though. I made two batches, one with red colouring and the other with blue and the blue one looked amazing as well! Also substituted the vanilla for Orange essence and dipped some in caramel and some in chocolate (so yummy!)

    Thank you so much for the video, I'm a huge fan and this is the first time I've been brave enough to try it for myself.

  • I made the Wilton red velvet cake the other day, it was foul! Going to try your recipe next!

    As for the coloring, the best thing I found, was instead of liquid, use powder coloring. It gave me such a wonderful intense deep color, and I only needed about 1/2 a teaspoon at the very most.

  • @snuzal I have powder coloring too...but it came from my mom when we were still at Taiwan wut that when I was barely born.....Where do you buy it?! Is it pixie dust?! If it is then thats.....

  • @michelle13579123 I live in New Zealand, in a smaller town, and just got it in a wee clear container from our local chocolate store/cake baking store

  • @SeriousCakes I don't know if I've replied you... But I tried using buttercream and it was alright. I used chocolate peppermint frosting and it was great! :)

  • you know i saw on tv that there was a guy who was really good at making red velvet and everybody loved it that there was a huge line outside of his shop everyday! they called him red velvet king

  • 2 3/4 all purpose flour ..minus 2 tbs....were they used at all after? i missed that part. Where is second part of video with finished cake?

  • @yvanho01 The 2 tbs of flour was replaced by the cocoa

  • I started watching this video and the song from Star Trek came on and I knew it right away, and it made me love the video and your channel even more!!!!

  • @lmaeser Hahaha, thank you! :D

  • i made my red velvet cupcakes for xmas with the same sort of idea.. i just made chocolate cupcakes and tinted them red.. i made the buttermilk and vinegar recipe .. ( as i would say the american way recipe.. as i am in aus.. ) and they came out heaps better than the other way.. .. i'm really jealous tho and want your mixer.. mine doesn't mix the whole mixture.. yes it is easier for me to do it with a spoon..

  • what is vanilla butter nut?

    can i just use 3 tsp of vanilla extract?

  • @thelemonberry It's a flavoring by McCormick, and yes you can just use vanilla :D

  • Never seen a Red Velvet recipe that does not contain Vinegar and Baking Soda. But it looks good. Thanks for the upload.

  • does the baking powder make it taste soapy? when ever i do more than 1/4 of a teaspoon mine taste horrible >.< and last time i made a red velvet i had to use 2 and 1/2 bottles of red and it still wasnt red......xD tasted fine for some reason thou

    this recipie looks great but we have no shortening here but my uncles wife is american and can get things from the american army base :D!

  • @XxbambiexX1 Not at all :D

  • I loved this recipe. I did cupcakes. So moist. I didn't use any food colouring since I was to lazy to walk 15 minutes to the store in back in the cold

    And since I made it without food colouring I don't really plan on putting it in ever. I like the colour of them. My whole family loved them and wouldn't let me keep the last 2

  • Just made this cake; was really nervous but it turned out great!! thanks!!

  • i tried this recipe...and the cake turned out nice..but it was very dense... not fluffy ... and it did not rise... where would i have gone wrong?

  • @ziba89 I need a little more information, did you replace any of the ingredients?

  • @SeriousCakes no i did not... i followed the recipe as is....that's why im wondering what has happened =/

  • @ziba89 Hmmmmm....I'm not sure, if all the ingredients were the same and the oven temp was what it should have been I don't know what could have gone wrong. Perhaps your baking powder is expired? Just a thought, I've heard it loses some of its leavening power when its past the 'use by' date.

  • @SeriousCakes REALLY??? i never knew that! thanks for the tip!

  • @SeriousCakes i had similar experience too. i tried this recipe over the weekend. i followed your recipe and instructions and im sure my baking powder was not expired

  • Hi SeriousCakes! I was wondering if I could use chocolate frosting instead of cream cheese frosting?

  • @cookiesnhamzters Sure, whatever works! Let me know how they go together, I haven't tried that combination yet :D

  • what could i use instead of shortning??

  • @TheJamieCook Only once have I tried to replace the shortening with some butter and it turned out greasy. Baking is definitely a science, one small adjustment to the wrong ingredient can throw the whole thing off!

  • Also, I don't have a mixer like you - just a hand mixer, is that still ok ? x

  • @a13x4 Yep :D

  • Hey I was wondering - I live in the UK, we don't have shortening, but you said don't use butter - so would you use oil? :)..

    Also can you suggest how you'd make red velvet cupcakes? Same recipe?

    I prefer cupcakes as I really just want to bake lots of stuff but have no one to eat it.. so don't want to bake huge loads >:(...

  • @a13x4 Do you have Trex, Copha, or Cookeen? I'm told one of those is a shortening replacement in the UK.

    You can make this into cupcakes, same everything just start checking them at 10 minutes.

  • Very interesting recipe. I think I have a great recipe for red velvet & it gets raves. I actually use 1 cup of buttermilk, 1.5 cups of oil and 1tsp of VINEGAR and red food coloring and only 2 eggs. Mixed the liquid together 1st. I then add the sifted dry ingredients together, including the cocoa powder. The batter seems a bit more smoother and not as thick as yours. It turns out absolutely perfect. I have a cupcakery and usually make cupcakes. How did the cake actually turn out?

  • @openedmyeyes It was good! I'd like to make it again if I can find a good excuse :)

  • I have mine in the oven right now.. however.. I was not walking 15 minutes to buy red food colouring so I guess I'm making a velvet cake at the moment..

  • I have to try your recipe. I used the CakeMan Raven's recipe for red velvet cake and he too uses shortning 9but in liquid form) instead of butter. Thanks for posting!

  • Do you live in a high altitude area? I want to try your cakes, but need to know if I have to make elevation adjustments. According to my friends and neighbors, your frosting is the best they have ever tasted. Thanks.

  • @zubari1000 No, sorry! I wonder how it would work though, maybe look online to see what adjustments you'd need for scratch baking.

  • I heard you can replace the food colouring with beet juice. Yummy! :)

  • @imagoodemployee They actually tried that for one of the cakes on Cook's Country, lol, it turned the cake gray :P

  • hello. i see you're using a kitchen aid stand mixer. what kind is it (artisan?)? i'm looking into buying one too but would appreciate your input and how yours have been holding up since you bought it. thanks for your help and your wonderful recipes!

  • hahaha..me=not made of money...

  • WOW.. i didnt know you had a website thats cool now ill be on there all day haha

  • @LILWEIRDO209MODESTO lol, it's new, I had another one but it was mostly just a way to post my pictures and I didn't really like it. My new one has a lot more features, it's still a work in progress though :D

  • @SeriousCakes

    HAHA well i checked it out and its really good soo keep doing what youre doing.....By the way i tried your yellow cake recipe and it was ummm.......AMAZING!!!!! haha thanks for the inspiration

  • @seriouscakes how come I can't watch this one on my iPhone.

  • @feltwiener69 Could be copyright issues :(

  • Shortening makes cake grow and taste super moist,, It's perfect!

  • You captured my husband's attention with the Star Trek Soundtrack!

  • @musofo17 lol, my hubby was the one who bought it, I'm glad he did because I love it!

  • @MrsMSG79 lol, I'll try to get it up this week :D

  • Pretty.

  • uh no offense but some of the comments are kinda annoying

  • @TheAshliShow lol, sorry, but any time someone prefaces a comment with 'no offense', the actual intent of the comment is to offend.

  • @TheAshliShow Even worse is the 'sorry, but', that's not an apology at all! Sorry :)

  • Ah, this doesn't seem like the "normal" recipe for red velvet, but then again there are so many floating around...

    No vinegar? And you use little food colouring (scary, I know :P)

    I've tried so many different kinds and they all end up tasting different, infact, I made one over the weekend and was infromed it was too sweet, then I made one maybe 2 months ago and it wasn't sweet enough.

    Red Velvet looks so good, but it's a hassle, the kitchen looked like I had killed someone o.O

  • @NeonWar1 In the Cook's Country recipe they did add vinegar, 'for lift' they said but I know my cake will rise already due to the amount of baking powder.

    Yeah, I had red smears everywhere!! I really felt so much better after I had 'cleansed' my kitchen lol :D

  • I've always been a big fan or yours, loved your vids, but now this??? I must've tried a dozen different red velvet cake recipes and never got it but I'm pretty sure even before trying your recipe out it's something i'll keep on doing for a long time! Like every other recipe!

    One question; where did you get your shortening measuring tool?? =D

  • @SuhadShi Let me know how it goes! I got my 'plunger' from Alton Brown's website :D

  • @SeriousCakes

    Oh it's an Alton Brown's plunger? So that's the picture on it..

    I was going to make the cake next week but couldn't wait till then, I must admit it's not the best red velvet cake I ever made, it was the best red velvet cake I have ever had!! It was so good I almost cried haha =D

    Thank you so much for the recipe and for every thing else you show & teach us. I learned a lot from you and keep on learning!

    B.t.w. what's the deal with the 1 dislike???

    God bless you <3

  • @SuhadShi I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, I don't get the dislikes either, is it the cake? The music? The comments? lol, I've had complaints about just about everything, if I listened then I would just stop making videos!

  • Could cake flour be used instead of all purpose? If so, would the measurements be different?

  • @janneke82 The measurements would be different but I don't know what changes would be necessary. If you do a search online for cake vs. all purpose you should be able to find the information.

  • HAHA I have the same wire colander and i use it to sift flour all the time! I love things that have multiple uses. I even use my tea ball to sift in flour or corn starch when I make gravy! it's easy to hold in one hand while stirring the pot and my gravy is never lumpy! =D

  • @sylvirlypstych I had to get one specifically for cakes lol, one just for ME! I like that tea ball idea, gonna have to get one of those!

  • Do you have to add the cocoa? I am making this cake for someone who is allergic to chocolate and wanted to know if there was an alternative.

  • @LylScorpio96 You could probably just use 2 tbs of flour instead but I'm not sure....

  • Crouching cake, hidden frosting LMAO XD

  • I love you videos they make me giggle. And your cakes look Wonderful. I cannot wait to try some of them out for myself. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!! =D

  • @lilybug499 Thank you! Same to you and yours :D

  • crouching cake hidden frosting loool loved that

  • at grouprecipes . com

  • u wont believe this, but I was about to bake this in the morning as a gift to some friends. I'll give ur recipe a go. I've been on this recipe in the past and it's awesome, just don't over bake cuz I was making cupcakes.

  • @daiser720 Did you try it? How did it go?

  • @MrsMSG79 She has a video for her delicious butter cream frosting

  • What about butter flavored crisco? Not sure if it would change the taste of the cake dramatically though. Hmmm... Kitchen experiment time I think!

  • @ashleykristine20 lol, it would probably just make it taste buttery, which isn't a bad thing in my opinion ;D

  • ALTON BROWN GEAR!!! O.O

  • yum!

  • i love ur baking ur amazing!!!

  • That's awesome! I hope someday i can cook like that! Hey i have a question, sometimes when i bake the center of my cake is not as cooked as the corners of it, why does that happens? Soorry if my question is dumb, but im a newbie XD

  • @Hopefulbutterfly17 How big is the pan you're using?

  • @SeriousCakes well it depends the cake in which this happened was mm a rectangular one, i really dont know the measure of it, but this happens to most of my cakes well not always but sometimes, why does this happens and how can i avoid that? thanks for the reply!

  • @Hopefulbutterfly17 What you need is a heating core, something to make the center bake at about the same rate as the edges. For the big rectangle pans I like to use a couple of flower nails, spray them with cooking spray, and place upside down in the pan before the batter goes in.

  • I've always loved red velvet. My dad is a baker/chef and his cakes are always moist and tasty. Lucky for me I guess, I've never had a bad red velvet.

  • @Sik15 lol, that is lucky! I never even heard of red velvet cake until about 10 years ago, which is weird because both of my parents are Southern...

  • You're awesome! Been following you on Youtube since 2008 =D...never bothered to comment though. But now I have cause you have given me so much confidence when it comes to baking. Thank you very much (\(^_^)/)

  • @hanausagi Thank you! That means you've been with me pretty much since the beginning :D

  • i love your videos your so talented

  • OK, I was going to ask you about using real butter and you have answered my question hahaha. I will take your word for it..... Buttermilk is expensive here but I will use it also. Your cakes look yummy. I tend to go by when the cake starts to shrink away from the pan edges for doneness. Cant wait to try this. Thanks for sharing & detailed instructions. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

  • @mukwah1111 You can make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of either white vinegar or lemon juice per 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 mins and viola! buttermilk :) I never buy buttermilk in the store anymore.

  • @ashleykristine20 That's true ! Thanks for reminding me !!! Merry Christmas !
