Red Velvet Cake with Ermine Frosting | Easy and Stable Buttercream Frosting

Red Velvet with Ermine Frosting – this cake is unbelievably soft and moist. someone requested Ermine frosting. In fact, this is my first time getting to know Ermine frosting, never knew it’s so easy and the cream is so smooth and fluffy. The amazing thing is it is not very sweet. If you had always thought buttercream is yellow and thick, try this one. It turned out my buttercream is not so yellow and it’s not that thick and heavy. The cream is so delicious and easy to make unlike those typical Italian or Swiss Meringue buttercream. And it is not so sweet like American buttercream. It definitely goes well with red velvet or chocolate cake. I hope you’ll be inspired and give this cake a try. Enjoy!
