Fried Red Velvet Pound Cake Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and pour the batter into it, spreading it evenly.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  6. 6

    Fry the Cake

    Once the cake is completely cooled, slice it into thick pieces. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your fried red velvet pound cake!
