Instructions
Making Red Velvet Cake Bites is a simple task if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking sheet.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
5. Bake: Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Cut the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, cut it into bite-sized squares or use a cookie cutter for fun shapes.
8. Frost the Bites: Using a piping bag or a knife, top each square with cream cheese frosting.
9. Decorate: If desired, sprinkle the tops with colorful sprinkles for added flair.
