Red velvet batter
Ingredients:
150 g unsalted butter
1/2 cup Certano sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon red gel food coloring
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 pinch of salt
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2/3 tablespoon baking soda
Preparation:
In a bowl, mix milk with lemon juice or white vinegar, stir, and let it sit until it curdles — this will be your buttermilk.
In a mixer, beat the butter and Certano sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed.
Add the food coloring and vanilla extract, and beat again.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (sifted), alternating with the buttermilk, mixing on low speed until smooth.
Pour the batter into two greased baking pans and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes if using two pans, or about 50 minutes if using just one.
