"This is the sugar free version I have perfected by request. Cakes baked with Splenda stay fresher longer if unused portions are kept refrigerated. The buttermilk adds a small trace amount of sugar per serving. This base recipe is used everyday by a pastry chef to make sugar free wedding cakes, sheet cakes, petit fours, etc… I found this recipe on Obesity Help. The recipe was posted by RosieHawk. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping."

ingredients

Red Velvet Cake
¹⁄₂ cup white regular vegetable shortening
²⁄₃ cup Splenda sugar substitute, granulated
2 eggs, well beaten
2 ounces red food coloring
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk (No buttermilk? Add a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of milk and let it stand fo)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon white vinegar
2 ¹⁄₄ cups sifted white flour
frosting (optional~ there are many other low fat or low cal recipes floating around out there)
5 tablespoons white flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream
¹⁄₃ cup Splenda sugar substitute, granulated
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup margarine

directions

Cake:
Mix shortening, Splenda Granulated, and eggs together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl make a liquid paste of the red food coloring and cocoa. Stir in with above mix. Add buttermilk and salt alternately with the flour, and beat slowly. Add vanilla, baking soda, and vinegar separately. Pour into two 8” well greased & floured cake pans, or a well-greased & floured 9” X 13” glass pan. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake 25 - 30 minutes.
Frosting:.
Cook flour and heavy whipping cream on low heat stirring constantly in small non-stick pot until it becomes thick, similar to gravy roux. Set aside and cool well! Beat on low speed in stand mixer bowl, the Splenda Granulated, vanilla, and margarine until fluffy. Blend in well cooled flour and heavy whipping cream mixture. Beat with stand mixer on medium speed until the frosting turns almost white. This will take 18 minutes. Do not rush this step. Frost the cake(s) when they are completely cooled.

This cake was aweful. Tasted more like a biscuit than a cake. Do not make this unless you like bland food with no flavor.

These came out very dense, dry and doughy. They didn't even have good flavor. I was really disappointed =( The trash can was the only one who got cupcakes tonight.

Square Meals Make Round People - Author Unknown Do It With Love---It Will Taste Better - Author Unknown I joined zaar in 2002 but I really didn't use it much on until 2006 after my computer crashed and I lost all my unsaved recipes. Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks.

I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons.
