1 cup buttermilk **
2 1/4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
** (Tips to share : for those who couldn’t find buttermilk , you may make one yourself with 500g Fresh Milk and 2-3 tbspn of lemon, let it settle for 5 minutes and you’ll get ur thicken buttermilk…REMARKS : only use the 1 cup of buttermilk for this recipe ).
Frosting Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons flour

However : You can also use CheeseCream as frosting. In my case.. WE LOVES cheese cream frosting on Red Velvet. It taste GREAT !
