After sharing my first red velvet cake recipe (which now has over 100 five star reviews!), I’ve since had many readers/viewers asking for a traditional red velvet cake recipe that uses an ermine frosting. This recipe uses the same base cake layers as my original red velvet cake, however the cream cheese frosting is replaced with a silky smooth, light, and not too sweet ermine frosting!
INGREDIENTS:
For accuracy, I would recommend using the gram measurements provided as those are the exact quantities I use. Cup measurements are given as estimates (based on US cup measurements) to make it easier for those who do not have a scale.
