How To Make Vegan Red Velvet Round Cake

  • Begin by preheating the oven to 350. Grease the metal cake pans with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix the mix, butter, sugar, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and pinch of salt together. Add the flour and mix until a smooth batter is formed. Divide the batter in half by transferring half of it into a separate mixing bowl.
  • In one of the batter bowls, mix in cocoa powder and red food coloring until well combined. Add as much coloring as you need to get the cake batter red.
  • Alternate adding the plain batter and the red batter into the cake pans to create a marble effect. Fill each pan about ⅓ of the way full. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until it is completely cooked through the center.
  • While the red velvet cakes bake, use a whisk or ideally an electric hand mixer to mix the vegan cream cheese frosting ingredients. Set aside.
  • Once the cakes are done baking, remove them from the cake pans carefully and then allow them to cool on a wire rack. Stack the layers on top of each other, frosting in between. Then, frost around and on top of the cake. Decorate as desired.
