he eggs. I could write an entire post about my red velvet/egg methodology. I’ll try to avoid boring you by summarizing it. This is a very large layer cake, so you’ll be using 4 large eggs to provide richness, structure, binding, etc. You will separate the eggs before going into the red velvet cake batter. The yolks are beaten in with the creamed butter/sugar, then beat the egg whites to a frothy consistency and fold them in last. What is the point of this? I find that the fluffiest texture is achieved this way. Beating the egg whites incorporates air which, when folded into the cake batter, creates airy volume. (As opposed to just weighing it down.) So, there ya go.
