Sift together the flour, cocoa, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt. Red Velvet Cake is not just a chocolate cake with red food colouring added. This cake is softer than most, "velvet-like", and the chocolate taste is actually quite mild. You can cook Red velvet cake using 7 ingredients and 3 steps. Here is how you cook that.

It's more like a cross between a vanilla and chocolate cake with a very subtle tang from buttermilk. And it is generously smothered in a fluffy cream cheese frosting. Red velvet is a wonderful chocolate cake alternative, something a little different and is perfect for any celebration. And unlike a lot of chocolate sponge recipes, which have a tendency to dry out quite quickly, I can safely say that this stays moist and still tastes fresh a few days later, making it a perfect cake to make in advance.

Look for a non-alkalized one for this old-fashioned recipe.
