Red velvet cake
Take a bowl. Add sugar as per your taste. You can increase or decrease the quantity of sugar as per your taste. You can use white sugar as well in place of brown sugar. Add 2 whole eggs. Add vanilla. Mix well.
Then add unsalted butter. Mix it just a bit. Do not overmix the batter. Now add coffee, and red food color.
Then add flour in two to three batches. Add salt, cocoa, and baking powder.
Mix it with light hands. The batter should be thick in consistency but not too thick. Take a greased cake tin.
Pour the batter and spread it evenly with the help of a spatula. Bake the cake for 15 to 18 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. After that remove it from the tin and allow it to cool down. Then cut them into heart shapes.
Spread some melted chocolate on one side. That’s it. The red velvet cake slice is ready. Store it in the fridge.
