Mini Red Velvet Cakes Recipe

One of the reasons I don’t make a lot of cakes in my house is because we always have so much left over, and end up throwing it out. What I love about these mini cakes is its a 5 bite treat, and makes only 6-8 (depending on what size pan, or how much batter filled). So with a family of 5, plus 2 grandparents, these will disappear within the day you make them!

I made these for my birthday last week and I loved them. I am a huge fan of red velvet desserts, so what I loved about this recipe is that is was so easy to make, and does not require buttermilk. Look it up, every red velvet recipe requires buttermilk but this one. This recipe is adapted by the sugarspunrun recipe, and it has become my new favorite.

I don’t have a lot to say in today’s post, because this recipe is not mine, but I hope you enjoy these!

• 3/4 cup of whole, or 1% milk
• 3/4 tablespoon of white vinegar
