Hi y’all! I recently posted on Instagram my Doctored Cake Mix Red Velvet Cake Recipe and I wanted to share the recipe here for you all!

Here’s how to make it:

Red Velvet Cake
1 box of German chocolate cake mix (I’ve only used Betty Crocker for this but I’m sure Duncan Hines will work too)
1/2 cup of Buttermilk or make your own
1/4 cup oil or 1 stick of melted butter
3 eggs
1 cup of sour cream
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
1 tablespoon of red velvet emulsion (optional)
1/2 to 1 bottle of red food coloring (they usually come in 1 oz size)

Preheat oven to 350 (I personally bake my cakes at 325 but my oven baked faster so know your oven) To a bowl or stand mixer combine cake mix, buttermilk, and oil. Then mix in eggs one at a time just until combined. Add flavorings, food coloring and sour cream. Mix until incorporated (try not to overmix if you think you may over mix do it by hand or else your cake will be tough). Pour in pans and bake for the time according to pan size you are using on back of box. Frost with cream cheese frosting on previous video. Enjoy!
