Loading...| 3 cups (345g) ROGERS NO ADDITIVE ALL PURPOSE FLOUR | |
| 1 teaspoon (5mL) baking soda | |
| 2 Tablespoons (10g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder | |
| 1/2 teaspoon (2.5mL) salt | |
| 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature | |
| 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar | |
| 1 cup (240ml) vegetable oil | |
| 4 large eggs, room temperature and separated | |
| 1 Tablespoon (15mL) pure vanilla extract | |
| 1 teaspoon (5mL) distilled white vinegar | |
| liquid or gel red food colouring | |
| 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk |
Slightly sweet and with a touch of cocoa, this cake is perfectly festive for the holidays.
| 1. | Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease your bundt pan (canned spray works well). |
| 2. | Make the cake: Whisk the Rogers No Additive All Purpose Flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside. |
| 3. | Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the oil, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and vinegar and beat on high for 2 minutes. (Set the egg whites aside.) Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. |
| 4. | With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in 2-3 additions alternating with the buttermilk. Beat in your desired amount of food coloring just until combined. I use 1-2 teaspoons gel food coloring. Vigorously whisk or beat the 4 egg whites on high speed until fluffy peaks form as pictured above, about 3 minutes. Gently fold into cake batter. The batter will be silky and slightly thick. |
| 5. | Pour batter into cake pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the tops of the cake springs back when gently touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. |
| 6. | Invert onto cooling rack. |
| 7. | Sift icing sugar over top of cake and add garnish of your choosing. |
