Description

Indulge in a slice of our exquisite red velvet cake, a delightful treat that perfectly balances rich flavors and a satisfyingly dense texture. This cake offers a surprising depth of chocolate notes that complement its vibrant red hue, creating a visually stunning and palatable experience. Once baked to golden perfection and cooled, the cake is adorned with a luscious cream cheese frosting, piped artfully around the edges with a star tip to create an elegant design.

Feel free to unleash your creativity and decorate the top of the cake as you desire, making it a personalized masterpiece. For the most vibrant color, consider using gel-based food coloring, as its concentrated formula allows you to achieve intense shades without altering the batter's consistency. These colorings are readily available at most grocery stores or cake decorating supply stores.

When preparing the frosting, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This simple step is crucial for achieving the lightest and fluffiest frosting possible. Use the frosting immediately after making it to maintain its airy texture.

For a professional touch, fit a piping bag with a star tip (such as a #823 or #824). Fill the bag with frosting and pipe elegant swirls or rosettes onto the cake. If you do not have a piping bag, a zip-top bag with a snipped corner works as a great substitute.

Alternatively, for a more rustic look, spread a generous layer of frosting over the cake with an offset spatula. For an added touch of whimsy, consider sprinkling the top with sugar-free sprinkles. This red velvet cake is a wonderful finale to any meal or a delightful indulgence for a special occasion.

Serve with a cup of coffee or tea, or a side of fresh berries for a complete dessert experience. Its striking appearance and decadent flavor are sure to impress your friends and family and leave them craving more.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Prepare an 8 cake pan with nonstick cooking spray (preferably avocado oil). Then line the pan with a parchment paper round. To make a parchment paper round, form a square with the parchment paper and trim off any excess. Then fold the square in half into a triangle. Fold the triangle in half two more times. Place the point of the triangle into the center of the baking pan and trim the excess where the end reaches the outside of the cake pan. Open the triangle to form the circle.
    2.
    Combine the dry ingredients, including the almond flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together well. Make sure the mixing bowl is large enough to add the liquid ingredients in the next step.
    3.
    Add in the liquid ingredients, including melted butter (could also substitute for coconut oil), vanilla extract, eggs, and cup of almond milk. Mix until the mixture is smooth. There should be no dry spots at the bottom of the bowl.
    4.
    Add in the red gel food coloring and mix well. Add more coloring to achieve the desired color. Bake for 30-32 minutes until the center of the cake is puffed. There may be some mild cracking on the top of the cake, which is ok. Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
    5.
    In the meantime, begin to make the frosting by combining the cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered erythritol, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat in a stand mixer for 8-10 minutes, scraping down the bowl several times. Beat for the entire length of time to ensure the frosting incorporates as much air as possible.
    6.
    Run a knife around the edges of the cake. Invert it onto a plate. Then, place a plate on top of the cake and flip it again, so the top side is facing up. Immediately place the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a star tip (# 823 or # 824). Pipe swirls around the edge of the cake. Slice into 16 pieces and serve chilled.
