Although Cake week from the Great British Bake Off has come and gone, some things are too good not to share again! This Red Velvet Cake makes for a perfect example of this. While contestants have been faced with a signature challenge, alongside a complicated technical, Waitrose has shared a selection of its favourite cake recipes to inspire bakers across the country.

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

A modern classic, red velvet cake is thought to have originated during the Victorian era. During this time, velvet cakes were considered an upmarket dessert, named after the cake’s soft consistency. Most modern recipes use red food colouring instead of typical anthocyanin-rich cocoa, as is the case with Waitrose’s recipe, also favouring whipped butter cream in place of cream cheese.

Chefs Tip for this magnificent Red Velvet Cake:

For a delectable cake that is super moist, we recommend adding one additional egg just to make sure the cake is a bit lighter and less dense.

Ingredients

  • 200 g Anchor Butter
  • 200 g Waitrose Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 1 tsp Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract
  • 4 Medium British Blacktail Free Range Eggs
  • 200 g Self-raising flour
  • 2 10g tubes Dr Oetker Gel Food Colour, Bright Red
  • 1 tbsp Cocoa

For the filling

  • 150 g Anchor Butter
  • 1 tsp Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract
  • 200 g Waitrose Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Freeze-dried raspberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C/ gas mark 3. Grease and base line an 18cm round cake tin.
  • Whisk the butter, sugar and vanilla extract until pale and fluffy. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until combined (add a little of the flour if it looks curdled). Mix in the red food colour. Fold in the flour and cocoa.
  • Spoon into the cake tin and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the cake. Allow to cool.
  • To make the filling, whisk the butter, vanilla extract and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  • Cut the cake into 3 even-sized horizontal rounds. Spread ⅓ of the butter icing over 1 slice of cake, and then lay another slice on top. Spread this with another ⅓ of the icing and top with final slice. Spread with the remaining icing and sprinkle over the dried raspberries.
