Red Velvet Cake birthday cake with cream frosting|| simple steps to perfect moist red velvet cake

Red Velvet Cake is by far the most favorite cake of mine.

It is an upgraded version of a vanilla cake having a tanginess of buttermilk. This cake is super moist with a velvety texture. When you dig into the creamy filling of cake and reach into the cake, your palate my friend is elevated!!!

Perfectly fluffy cake made out of 2 8″ cakes and divided to make a 4 layer cakes is a showstopper on any special occasions.
