Zubereitung

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 F (180C). Grease a baking pan. Gather ingredients.

2. 2

   Mix non dairy milk and vinegar together. Leave for some minutes then add oil, vanilla essence and red dye.

3. 3

   Combine: In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients, combine all together then pour milk mixture into the bowl.

4. 4

   Mix everything together until you get a red batter. Pour batter in baking mould. Transfer on a baking tray and bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

5. 5

   Beat: For the frosting. Beat icing sugar and butter together then add milk. Whisk until you get a white creamy texture.

6. 6

   Cool and cut.: Remove cake from oven and let completely cool down. With a sharp knife, remove the head of the cake to make it flat then cut the cake into 3 layers. Keep the head aside, don’t throw it away.

7. 7

   Frost: Spread frosting on first layer then cover with second layer, repeat one more time. Use remaining frosting to decorate the whole cake.

8. 8

   Decorate: Make crumbles with the head of the cake to decorate the top. You can add berries on top. I used cherries but feel free to decorate as you wish.

9. 9

   Serve: The red velvet keeps well in the refrigerator for several days.
