First Post!! Red Velvet Bunt Cake

So I have had blogs before and I NEVER keep them up, but I will TRY to keep posting all new recipes and fun crafts I do!!! 

Most people that know me know that I LOVE to bake.  Probably one reason why my husband has gained weight since we started dating.  I love to bake sweets!!  It's so fun!!  I love to see the happiness that it brings those around me.  Most of my recipes come from Pinterest, the internet, or my mom/grandma. 

I am not the best baker or cook, but I like to think I'm pretty good at it.  I am a VERY clumsy person!!  My husband can second this for sure.  I drop everything or spill things.  So sometimes I make mistakes when I cook or make a BIG mess, but I think it's FUN.

This week I made a Red Velvet Bunt Cake.  I have NEVER made one before, but it looked really easy.  I LOVE red velvet and so does my dad, plus it looks really pretty.  It would be a great dessert for a Christmas Party or for Valentine's day!!  I was unable to take a picture of it before it got cut because my sister couldn't wait.  The left picture is the one I made and the right one is what it is suppose to look like:

It was very yummy and very moist.  Here is the recipe if anyone is interested in making it:

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1 t. salt
• 3 T. cocoa powder
• 1 T. white vinegar
• 1 t. vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk (OR 1 c. milk + 1 T. vinegar)
• 1 oz. red food coloring

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a Bundt pan really well. Place one cupcake liner in a cupcake tin. (You will use the cupcake for a garnish.) In a medium bowl, mix eggs with a wire whisk. Add oil, vinegar, vanilla, buttermilk and food coloring. Whisk together and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix on medium high until combined. Fill cupcake liner half full with batter, then pour the rest of the batter into your Bundt pan. Bake the cupcake for 20-25 minutes, bake the cake for 50-55 minutes.

Cream Cheese Frosting

• 1 8 oz. package cream cheese
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 t. vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup milk*

Let cream cheese and butter sit in mixing bowl until softened. Mix together. Add sugar, vanilla and milk. Pour over cooled cake.

* I added milk to my favorite cream cheese frosting, to make the consistency pourable.
