Red Velvet Cake Recipe High Altitude
Ingredients
To prepare a delicious Red Velvet Cake in high altitude, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon red gel food coloring
- 2/3 cup sour cream
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Beat in the oil, buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla extract, and food coloring.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, beating until combined. Finally, stir in the sour cream.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
You can frost the cooled cake with your favorite cream cheese frosting.

Tips
High altitude baking can be tricky. The dry, thin air at high altitudes can cause cakes to dry out, rise too quickly and not cook evenly. To achieve the best results, you may need to adjust the baking time and temperature of your recipes.
For this Red Velvet Cake recipe, you may need to reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 5 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
You may also need to adjust the amount of ingredients used. For example, you may need to use a bit more liquid, such as buttermilk, oil, or water, to help the cake stay moist.
Finally, be sure to grease and flour your pans well, as cakes may tend to stick more in high altitude baking.
Conclusion
High altitude baking can be challenging, but with a few adjustments, you can easily prepare a delicious Red Velvet Cake. Be sure to adjust the oven temperature and baking time, as well as the amount of ingredients used. Grease and flour your pans well, and you'll have a moist and flavorful cake. Enjoy!
