Here's a recipe for Guam Red Velvet Cake:

Ingredients:

For the cake:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cream cheese frosting:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

2- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.

3- In another bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth and well combined.

5- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

6- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

7- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

8- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.

9- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating well after each addition, until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.

10- Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.

11- Once the cakes have cooled completely, place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a layer of cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.

12- Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining cream cheese frosting over the top and sides of the cake.

13- Optional: Garnish with grated coconut or chopped nuts for a tropical twist.

14- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the frosting to set.

15- Slice and enjoy your delicious Guam Red Velvet Cake!
