Old-Fashioned Red Velvet Cake,Found this on the internet after obsessing over finding the perfect recipe for a traditional red velvet cake.,This looks like a good recipe for a Red Velvet except for the red food color. I prefer to use freshly roasted beet juice for health reasons. I also pair it with the authentic frosting for Velvet Cakes, an Ermine Buttercream. An Ermine was, and is, used in the south for 2 reasons – 1. Of the 6 classic buttercreams – American, Ermine, French, German, Swiss, and Italian – it’s the closest in texture to whipped cream & the most delish. 2. It’s the most stable and holds up the best in the southern heat. When I have a client order a Red Velvet Cake for the first time I educate them on the authentic frosting, and once they try it they never go back to a Cream Cheese Frosting. I always wonder where this new craze came from, and make sure my baking students know how to make an Ermine Buttercream.,Made this cake for Christmas dinner based on the reviews and crossed my fingers. It was incredibly delicious!
