How to Make Commercial Bakery Sugar Free Red Velvet Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Cake:
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening, 2 cups Splenda granulated sweetener, and 4 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 2-4 tablespoons red food coloring until a smooth paste forms.
  5. Add the cocoa mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups buttermilk and 1 teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients (3 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking soda) to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar. Mix gently.
  9. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Frosting:
  13. In a small, non-stick saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup heavy whipping cream over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened, like a roux (about 5-7 minutes).
  14. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  15. In a stand mixer bowl, beat together 1 cup Splenda granulated sweetener, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup margarine until fluffy (about 5 minutes).
  16. Add the cooled flour and cream mixture to the stand mixer and beat on low speed until combined.
  17. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 18 minutes, or until the frosting is light and fluffy (almost white). Do not rush this step.
  18. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost generously.
