In reply to Ella Alexander. Hi Ella! The best way to store the crumbs will be in an airtight container at room temperature. Hope that helps!

Hi. I’m going to try your crumb technique to decorate. I was planning to decorate the cake the day before eating though. Do the crumbs last overnight in the fridge or will they harden and become unpleasant?

In reply to OLUWAFUNBI. Hi there! This cake can totally be used for under fondant. All of my cake recipes are sturdy enough for that.

In reply to OLUWAFUNBI. Hi there! I use generic brand unsalted butter from my local (US) grocery store. I don't find it makes a huge difference from brand to brand.

And also, for the unsalted butter, which brand of butter is best for baking cakes and frosting. From Uk

Thank you

Hi Whitney,
I love this red velvet recipe but can I bake red velvet cake for fondant covering or is there any specific type of cake for fondant cakes.

Thanks

In reply to Margherita.

Hi Margherita! I’m so excited for you to try this recipe! Yes, there’s no baking powder in this cake, the baking soda does all the leavening when it reacts with the vinegar. And yes, there’s that much sugar. Cream cheese frosting is notoriously soft and unstable unless you use that much or sub in some corn starch for stability. I wrote this recipe for cream cheese frosting that uses a little less sugar and cornstarch, if you use this for the cake you’ll need to double it though: https://sugarandsparrow.com/cream-cheese-buttercream-recipe/ Hope that helps!

Hallo Whitney,
I was reading the receipe of this cake, and I would like to try it for my daughter’s birthday. Is it right, that there’s no baking powder, and that for the frosting there’s almost 1 kg of sugar ?
Thanks for the help!
