- Cool the Cakes: Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step ensures that the cakes firm up and won’t fall apart when frosting.
- Prepare the Frosting: While the cakes are cooling, beat together the cream cheese, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla essence in a deep bowl. Beat for about 5-6 minutes until the frosting is soft, creamy, and smooth. This will be the base for your rich, tangy cream cheese frosting.
- Assemble and Frost the Cake: Once the cakes are fully cooled, place one layer of cake on a serving plate or cake board. Spread a generous amount of frosting over the top. Place the second layer of cake on top and cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Use an icing spatula or piping bag to smooth and decorate the frosting as desired.
- Garnish and Serve: For decoration, you can garnish the cake with cake crumbs or any other decorative elements you prefer. Allow the cake to chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to help the frosting set before serving. Enjoy this stunning and delicious Red Velvet Cake with friends and family!
