When it comes to reinventing a classic, especially a dessert so beloved, and making it both Gluten Free and Dairy Free, it always takes multiple tries and tweaks. I am excited to share this recipe with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texture and Taste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tender, moist, decadent, and rich…each of these words perfectly describe Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake with Dairy Free Frosting. There’s something about sinking your fork into that first bite and just feeling how soft it is as the crumbs cling to the prongs. You know you’re in for a bite of pure bliss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of what makes this cake so unique is its color. Yes, part of that is thanks to the addition of red food coloring, but it’s also due to the chemical reaction between vinegar and cocoa powder. Not only does the vinegar draw out the natural red from the cocoa, it also lends to that tender moist bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some recipes call for buttermilk for that balance of tang and acid, I am using Dairy Free sour cream in this cake. Not only does it provide flavor, it helps give this cake the most incredible texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to red velvet cake the frosting is just as important as the cake itself. We’re sticking with the classic cream cheese frosting but updating it making it Dairy Free. Creamy, silky, and a little tangy, it’s the perfect accent to the sweet cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking Up Your Red Velvet Cake with Dairy Free Frosting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Skip the box mix because this cake is just as easy. Crack a couple eggs, mix up a little batter, and you will be waiting in anticipation to frost this crimson confection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
