Red Velvet Wreath Cake Delightful and Easy Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
• 1 container cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 optional edible glitter
• 1 cup fresh berries for garnish (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
• 1 bunch mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch wreath cake pan or a regular round cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and vegetable oil until well combined.
3. Add the buttermilk and eggs to the mixture, then stir in the red food coloring and vanilla extract until evenly combined.
4. In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Lastly, add the white vinegar and mix gently to incorporate. The batter should be smooth and vibrant in color.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared wreath cake pan, ensuring it is evenly spread.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once done, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, generously frost the top and sides of the wreath cake with cream cheese frosting, creating an even layer.
10. For an extra festive touch, sprinkle edible glitter over the frosting and arrange fresh berries and mint leaves on top of the cake as decoration.
