  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 3 minute

Ingredients

– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
– 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
– 2 large eggs
– 2 tablespoons red food coloring
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon white vinegar
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
– 4 cups powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
– Edible decorations (e.g., edible glitter, holiday sprinkles, or fresh berries)


Instructions

Follow these steps to create your own Red Velvet Christmas Wreath Cake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or wreath-shaped cake pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth and well incorporated.
5. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt or wreath pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
6. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Then, gently remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
9. Frost the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the top and around the sides.
10. Decorate: Finish by adding your choice of edible decorations, like holiday sprinkles or fresh berries, to enhance the festive look.
