My 13 yr old son made this red velvet cake. The recipe was very easy to follow & it turned out moist and delicious! The cooking time was a little longer but it was worth it! Thank you!

Should have read the reviews first!! Followed the recipe to the 'T', however just like everyone else it has been an hour and it's still not cooked! Making this for my daughters birthday cake, getting ready to make a standby different cake just in case this one fails. Good thing I'm not in a rush to be anywhere with it.Awesome cake. I cooked it in a ring tin, didn't have any yogurt so just used plain milk and oil instead of butter as recipe says either, cooked in about 40 minutes I will make this cake again in fact it will be a birthday cake for all my grand children.

It definitely needs much longer than 25mins to bake... more like an hour and 25 minutes!

Cooking time incorrect, had to reduce the temp and cook for a total of 45 minutes.

I found cooking time was longer (and that's with fan assisted oven) 40 mins.

This is a terrible recipe, the cooking time needs to be longer as there is so much wet ingredients in this recipe, you will be sure to find a nicer tasting red velvet cake recipe elsewhere

I read reviews before making this cake, the trick is to have all your dry ingredients measured, sifted & ready to add as soon as you've mixed all the wet ingredients in, this way it won't affect the activation. The image itself is misleading, the layers do not come out that big. Mine did only take 30mins to cook not sure why others were taking 1hr. Haven't tasted yet as am freezing ready to ice for a special Occasion in 2 weeks time.
Preheat oven to 180°C conventional / 160°C fan bake. Grease 2 x 20cm round cake tins and line the bases with baking paper.
Using an electric beater or stand mixer, beat Chelsea White Sugar and butter together until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
Add buttermilk, oil, food colouring, vinegar and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
Sift flour, cornflour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt over the top. Beat until just combined.
Divide mixture evenly between prepared tins. Bake for 25-30 minutes (in the middle of the oven, on the same shelf), until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Leave cakes to cool in tins for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
ICING Beat cream cheese and butter together until really smooth and pale (about 3 minutes). Add Chelsea Icing Sugar and beat until light and creamy. You want a spreadable consistency - if your icing is too runny, add a little more icing sugar; if too thick, add a little lemon juice or water.
Spread the top of one of the cooled cakes with icing. Add the second cake layer on top. Spread icing on top and all around the outside of the cake.
OPTIONAL Beat a little more Chelsea Icing Sugar into any remaining icing, to make a stiff pipeable consistency. Pipe icing decorations on top of the cake.
Allow icing to set before slicing cake and serving.
Additional tips
Cake will keep well for 5 days. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
