In reply to Carla. This recipe isn't enough for a bundt cake, I'd recommend using my red velvet cake recipe instead. I'm not sure on baking time for that recipe, but I would guess 50 to 70 minutes.

In reply to Gina. You can just double this recipe, it will make about 32 cupcakes though.

Looks like a great recipe. Do you have an alternative recipe if I wanted to make 2 dozen or can this one be doubled without any issues please.

In reply to Kris. Did you make sure to use cake flour? Have you checked your baking soda to make sure it's still fresh? If you didn't mix the butter and sugar long enough, that can cause them to not rise as much too.

For whatever reason, red velvet is my kryptonite. The flavour on this recipe was excellent, the colour was perfect and the rise/doming was extremely disappointing. It looked very spongy and had flat tops and did not rise as much as I anticipated…where did I go wrong? I’ve over mixed before so I was paranoid not to, so would this be under mixed?

In reply to Lisa. Hi, Lisa! It sounds like the cupcakes may have been slightly underbaked. Did a toothpick inserted into the center come out clean? Humidity could also affect them as well as leaving them in the pan too long after you take them out of the oven.

Hi Danielle,

My cupcakes deflated and they came away from the paper. Do you know why this would happen. It’s summer here and is very hot at the moment. Do you think that’s why?

Flavour was totally there. Just didn’t present as well as I’d hoped.

In reply to Wendy. Did you happen to over mix the dry ingredients? It could be that you mixed in too much air, causing them to shrink when you took them out of the oven.

My first time making it and it was so soft and squishy it was delicious! The only problem I had was after I took them out the oven they started shrinking and didn’t look the greatest. Any tricks to keep them nice and plump like they were while in the oven?
