TIPS AND FAQS
This cake is very flexible and you can turn your cake into any kind that you would like. Simply just change the cake mix that you use. Try this cake as chocolate, orange, or vanilla. It’s delicious every way that you make it.
Be sure to soften your butter and cream cheese to room temperature. If you use cold butter you will have a lumpy frosting.
For best looks, frost your cake in long slow streaks. This gives your cake the traditional frosting look.
If you do not plan to use Pam baking spray you can grease your pan with butter or shortening and then lightly flour your pan.
HOW LONG CAN I STORE THIS CAKE?
You can store this Red Velvet cake on the counter in a tightly sealed container for up to five business days. Make sure to keep your Red Velvet Bundt Cake away from your stove as heat will soften and melt your frosting. Heat can also cause your cake to dry out faster.
