Ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup Splenda sugar substitute
- 1/3 cup artificial sweetener
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tablespoon white vinegar
- 8 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup liquid sweetener
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons white vanilla
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 1/2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions:
-
Prepare Cake Pans: Grease and flour two 8″ or 9″ round cake pans, ensuring they are well-coated to prevent sticking.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F, allowing it to reach the desired temperature while you prepare the cake batter.
-
Sift Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together gluten flour, baking powder, Splenda sugar substitute, artificial sweetener, salt, cream of tartar, and cocoa powder. Ensure they are well combined and set aside.
-
Whip Egg Whites: In another large bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Sprinkle cream of tartar over the egg whites and continue beating until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy texture.
-
Prepare Egg Yolk Mixture: In a small bowl, mix cold water with egg yolks and whisk until well combined. Add oil, vanilla extract, liquid sweetener, and the mixture of heavy cream and vinegar, creating a mock-sour effect. Stir in the red food coloring until evenly distributed.
-
Incorporate Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the egg yolk mixture to the sifted flour mixture, beating until smooth and fully incorporated.
-
Combine Batter with Egg Whites: Gradually add half of the whipped egg whites to the batter mixture, beating until well blended. Carefully fold the remaining whipped egg whites into the batter using a rubber or plastic spatula, ensuring they are fully incorporated but being careful not to deflate the whites.
-
Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake at 325°F for 20-30 minutes, rotating halfway through baking. Keep an eye on the cakes to avoid overbaking, as baking times may vary depending on your oven and elevation. The cakes are done when lightly golden brown on top and puffed and cracked at the edges.
-
Cool and Assemble: Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, assemble the cakes for frosting.
-
Prepare Frosting: To make the frosting, whip together cream cheese, unsalted butter, white vanilla, Splenda sugar substitute, and heavy whipping cream until smooth and creamy.
-
Frost Cake: Once the cakes are fully cooled, frost them with the prepared frosting, spreading it evenly over the tops and sides of the cakes.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Slice the Love and Kisses Red Velvet Cake into generous portions and serve to your delighted guests or savor it yourself as a decadent treat.
Indulge in the irresistible allure of this Love and Kisses Red Velvet Cake, and let its rich flavors and velvety texture captivate your taste buds with every bite. Perfect for celebrations or simply as a sweet indulgence, this cake is sure to spread joy and happiness with every slice!
