Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Red velvet cake is a traditional Southern buttermilk cake with cocoa and red coloring. This version is nearly identical and just as moist and flavorful.

1/2 tsp almond extract

Preheat the oven to 325. Grease 2-6" cake pans.
In a large bowl, combine the oat milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 3 minutes to curdle. Add the sugar, oil, red color, vanilla and almond. Whisk to combine thoroughly.
In another bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk into the wet batter in two additions. Add the sour cream. Divide between 2-6" cake pans and bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
