How to Make Easy Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake With Homemade Cream Cheese Fros
- **Cake:**
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round baking pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon red food coloring, 1 teaspoon white vinegar.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Beat for an additional 2 minutes on medium speed.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Frosting (Make while cakes are baking):**
- In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 4 cups powdered sugar, beating until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2-4 tablespoons heavy cream for desired consistency.
- Refrigerate frosting until ready to use.
- **Assembly:**
- Once cakes are completely cool, level tops if necessary.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate.
- Frost the top with about ⅓ of the frosting.
- Top with the second cake layer.
- Frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow frosting to set.
