For an even more intense red color, consider using a natural red food coloring derived from beets. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal emulsification and a smoother batter. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. A cream cheese frosting complements the red velvet flavor perfectly. Consider adding a hint of lemon zest to the frosting for a bright, citrusy note.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch springform pan, using gluten-free flour. In a bowl, sift together the gluten-free baking flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and baking powder. If mixture seems clumpy, sift again. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
02
StepPlace the butter, avocado, applesauce, sugar, vinegar, buttermilk, and vanilla extract into the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse several times; process until well blended. Mix in the egg yolks, and process again. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar using an electric mixer until the whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the avocado mixture, then fold in the flour mixture, being careful to retain as much fluffiness in the batter as you can. Gently mix in red food coloring. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. (Prep time: 20 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Allow to cool. Since the cake is gluten-free, it may sink a little while cooling. When cool, remove from springform pan for decorating. (Bake time: 90 minutes, Cool time: 60 minutes)

Jun 13, 2025My cake sank a little while cooling, as mentioned in the recipe, but it still tasted fantastic. Next time, I might try reducing the amount of applesauce slightly.
