🧁 Ingredients for Bloody Knife Red Velvet Cake

Cake:

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cocoa powder
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tbsp red food coloring
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp white vinegar

Cream Cheese Frosting:

16 oz cream cheese (softened)
½ cup butter (softened)
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract

Bloody Knife Decoration:

Red fruit syrup or raspberry sauce
Small knife or cake topper for effect

🥄 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Red Velvet Layers

First, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch cake pans. Next, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Meanwhile, whisk oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar in another bowl. Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth.

Pour evenly into pans and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. After baking, let the cakes cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Then, gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until fluffy. For smoother frosting, chill slightly before spreading.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread frosting evenly. Next, add the second layer and cover the top and sides with frosting. Smooth with a spatula for a clean finish.

Step 4: Create the Bloody Knife Effect

Finally, drizzle red fruit syrup diagonally across the cake to mimic a knife “cutting” through it. For extra drama, carefully insert a small knife or cake topper. This finishing touch transforms your cake into a stunning centerpiece.

🍰 Tips for a Showstopping Cake

Use fresh raspberry or strawberry syrup for natural red color.
Chill frosting slightly for smoother spreading.
Bake ahead of time; wrap cooled layers to maintain moisture.
Experiment with edible glitter, chocolate drizzle, or dark cocoa for extra flair.

💀 Fun Variations
