Red Velvet White Cake

The red velvet white cake is a delicious and tasty cake. A soft cake layered with frosting, sprinkles and red, white and blue edible sweet stars.  A great dessert to make for this Memorial Day. 

Red velvet white cake is a combination of red velvet and white cake mix with added cream cheese frosting and sprinkles. It's a soft and moist two-layer dessert cake. It is an excellent patriotic dessert to make and honor the US military this holiday season. 

For this recipe, I made the cream cheese frosting and bought extra whipped cream cheese from the supermarket. For the homemade cream cheese frosting, use a mixer to mix half & half, butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar. For the cake mixes, I used half of each cake box mix. Red, white and blue sprinkles are a nice way to decorate the cake for this holiday. 

 

 

For the cake mix, combine the egg, oil and water with the cake mix flour. Mix well. Then, grease two cake pans with butter. Then add the white cake mix to one cake pan, then add the red velvet cake mix to the other cake pan. Bake the cake at about 330 degrees for about 45 minutes. Feel free to adjust the temperature and time for the cake. 

After the cakes have been baked, let them cool for at least half an hour. Trim off the domes of both cakes. This shapes the cake when removing just a bit of the top of the cake. Then add the homemade cream cheese frosting to the white cake. Add the red velvet cake on top of the white cake. Saturate the cake with the remaining homemade cream cheese frosting. 

I ran out of my home-made cream cheese frosting. This is why I bought the store-bought whipped cream cheese. With an icing piping cream pastry bag, I added the whipped cream cheese and created swirl designs on the cake. Then I added sprinkles and the red, white and blue stars.

This recipe may seem like a lot of steps, but it's really not a challenging cake to make. It may take some time to prep and make, but it is not very hard. This cake tastes amazing!
