Hi Bold Bakers! What if I told you you could make a Big and Bold 3 Layer Red Velvet Cake in under 10 minutes? Now, you’re thinking, “Gemma, no way!” Well, it is 100% possible, you just need a few ingredients and a microwave. You, too, can bake my 3 Layer Microwave Red Velvet Cake in a matter of minutes. Already have an account? I have experimented with countless microwave recipes from my original 3 Layer Vanilla Cake Made in the Microwave, to an entire Microwave New York Cheesecake made in under 5 minutes not to mention all of my 100 Mug Meal recipes. I can hardly believe it is possible to make a cake this decadent in the microwave, but I did it, and you can too. This cake is moist and light in texture, with a hint of chocolate, a touch of cinnamon and of course a lovely red color. You will love it! This cake is the real deal. You make it with good quality cocoa powder, sugar, butter, eggs, buttermilk, oil and red coloring. Not only is this cake a cinch to microwave, but a joy to mix up, as the batter is made all in one bowl and with no special equipment.
After adding the wet ingredients into the dry and mixing, I pour the batter into 3 silicone cake pans. I use these Silicone Cake Molds. This is the secret baking cakes in the microwave as the silicone ensures the cakes cook evenly in just a few minutes without sticking to the pans.
When each layer has been microwaved allow them to cool. Then you can frost them just like any other cake. My 3 Layer Microwave Red Velvet Cake gets some very special treatment as it is frosted with my decadent and delicious best-ever cream cheese frosting. While this cake cuts down on the cooking time it is over-the-top on flavor and presentation.
When frosting the cake I make it look rustic, leaving big swirls of frosting on the top and sides. You can do it your own way! Last but not least I decorate the cake with additional red velvet crumbs. This 3 Layer Microwave Red Velvet Cake is one of my most beautiful to date. I cannot wait for all of you to get MICROBAKING!
