Ingredients
Method
For the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare two 4-inch cake pans by greasing them or lining them with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- Add the oil, melted butter, vanilla extract, egg white, buttermilk, and red food coloring to the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until combined.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the cocoa powder with the hot water until smooth. Add this mixture to the cake batter and gently fold it in.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the cakes are cooked through. Allow them to cool completely.
For the Frosting:
- In a bowl, whisk together the softened butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, whisking until the frosting is thick and creamy.
Assembly:
- Trim the tops of the cooled cakes if necessary. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a thick layer of frosting over it.
- Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious Single Serve Red Velvet Cake!
Notes
- If you prefer a more vibrant red color, you can increase the amount of red food coloring.
- Be careful not to overmix the cake batter or overbake the cakes for the best results.
