Red Velvet Cake | The Best Red Velvet Ever

★Online Classes★

Red Velvet is a theme that everybody likes. It’s actually a combo of cocoa powder and red food colouring so it seems fairly easy but it’s rather tricky to get it right. There are many different ways of making the red velvet cake and I’ve opted for the genoise type. Hope you like it!

▶Red Velvet Cake◀

1 Cake: 15cm diameter

⊙Red Velvet Genoise⊙
Whole Eggs 140g
Egg Yolks 30g
Sugar 95g
Cake Flour 77g
Cocoa Powder 8g
Melted Unsalted Butter 16g
Buttermilk 16g (If making from scratch, then add 1g of lemon juice to 15g of milk and let it sit at room temp for 10mins then use it)

① Add sugar to whole eggs + egg yolks and raise the temp. to 40°C using hot water bath.
② Whip until the batter becomes thick enough to draw a ribbon shape on top.
③ Add sifted cake flour + cocoa powder and fold them in carefully.
④ Add melted butter + buttermilk and mix well.
⑤ Bake at 165°C for approx. 30mins.

⊙Microwave Sponge⊙
Eggs 50g
Sugar 40g
Cake Flour 15g
Melted Unsalted Butter 10g
Red Food Colouring

① Add eggs and sugar into a bowl and bring the temp up to 40°C.
② Whisk until you get a lot of volume + ivory colour.
③ Sift in the cake flour and mix well.
④ Add the melted butter as well as the food colouring and mix well.
⑤ Pour the batter into a cup.

⊙Cream Cheese Frosting⊙
Cream Cheese(room temp) 350g
Sugar Powder 130g
Unsalted Butter(room temp) 170g
Lemon Zest 4g
Heavy Cream 33g

① Make sure the cream cheese and butter is at room temp (20℃)
② Smooth out the cream cheese by lightly beating it.
③ Sift in the sugar powder and mix.
④ Smooth out the butter and add it in.
⑤ Add in the lemon zest, followed by heavy cream.
⑥ If you find that the frosting is a bit too runny, then put it in the fridge to harden it up a bit.

⊙Assembly⊙
Please refer to the video for the assembly. The piping nozzle I used are 806, 865, 868.

How to store: Can store in the fridge for up to 2~3days. The cake dries out so cover it up with a cake cover.

I think your recipe is the best I could find on the internet. All recipes seem to be very refined with a lot of trial and error on your end before posting online with very clear explanation. I have mad respect for your commitment.

I own a small cafe in my country and most of my pastry and cake are using your recipes with a little adaptation. I do really own you a lot without knowing you in person. Thank you! 🙇🏼‍♂️

I don't know how many times i have to say ' Thank you ' to the best pastry chef Hanbit Cho. All of your tutorials are the best . I made a lot of cakes following your receipts and they all turned out super delicious . Thank you Hanbit Cho . Hope to see you one day in Sydney <3

[BobbyCougar]

Sharing this recipe is very kind. I am going to make this for my friends son who turns 16 next week, it's his favorite cake. And I couldn't imagine doing this every day! I'm stressed making just one, thank you! Sincerely, thank you from someone in Kentucky.

[myriamsaadmarzouk]

Hey! I made your cake yesterday, it was delicious!!! Not too sugary at all, very light and the genoise was not dry at all and the frosting was incredible
Thank for the recipe !

[sokamori]

I love that you're so precise you put the weight even for the egg yolks and buttermilk from scratch. Highly appreciated!

[annurud]

My husband's favorite cake is Red Velvet cake, I am going to try this, I will try making it this year for his birthday. Your Vlogs are done so well, I enjoy watching them. You are very talented and love what you do, that shows through your creations. Wishing you success.

[charlyngarcia]

Wow! I'm making a red velvet bday cake for my friend and did a lot of research on it, but absolutely loved this tutorial and how you explained the rationales behind your techniques

[grace.aquino]

I love that you are showing us how to elevate classic recipes! Thank you! Also, your voice is soothing to listen to!

[babyjirezielacosta]

Chef the most amazing part of this video is giving detailed information. I'm sure all the viewers will surely try this. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[CKsmallville]

I prefer light cakes which are not sickly sweet. I think this red velvet recipe is just what Im looking for. That lighter cream cheese frosting is genius!!

[cleopatrabonne]

Hi Hanbit.
I have been rediscovering my childhood love for baking using your recipes. Every recipe of yours which I have tried have never failed. I use a gas oven which is very very tricky. Other recipes I have used mostly always fail. I am also so grateful for your recipes that allow for small quantities too. Thank you so much for teaching me and helping me to make beautiful cakes. God bless

[MrLimonka]

Hi Hanbit. I am almost 15, I am from Poland and I just want you to know that I LOVE your recipes. Thank you very much for sharing them with us. I hope that someday I will also be able to bake like you. Love you (and also your cakes)

[minuhgrg]

[hannabaroncelli]

Chef Hanbit! I love your videos because you explain everything properly, you are an amazing teacher. I made this cake with substituting gluten free one to one flour mix and it came out perfect 👍🏼 thank you 🙏🏼

[slwrabbits]

Wow, I'm really excited to see a microwave cake recipe! I know you intend for it to be used as decoration only, but it looks like it would be fun to try.

[rubenxkembri]

I am a Chef working on superyachts . This Pastry chef is the best of the best, I like how you explain in detail . Keep it up and well done 😉You are a star . Love from Malta 🇲🇹

[wonkim]

I made it for my friend’s birthday - did not put enough red colouring so it looks like a carrot cake lol. Took a longer time adding and mixing colours so the genoise did not rise as much but I managed to get 3 layers. Do not have the bigger tip in the video so thinking of finishing with smaller piping decorations with a few raspberries on top.
Love your exact measurements and detailed video as always. I really like the taste of your cheese cream frosting!

[tintintan]

Can’t wait for your next shows ❤️
Hoping to have your book in English version

[auvu]

I love how you present all your instructional videos
