How to Make Easy Red Velvet Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch or 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, oil, eggs, water, and cocoa powder.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes, or until well combined and smooth.
- Stir in the red food coloring until you achieve your desired shade of red.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting (recipe not included).
