Buttermilk
Traditionally red velvet cake has buttermilk, unfortunately it isn’t always easy to find in Trinidad, so we have substituted the buttermilk for evaporated milk with a 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar and the results were delish!
You can also make these dairy free! Simply use your favorite dairy free milk in place of the buttermilk.
Oil
We’ve tried this recipe with expeller pressed coconut oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil and vegetable oil. A neutral oil is key, so when using oil in this recipe, make sure it’s one that won’t affect the taste of the batter.
Glaze
Cream cheese and red velvet go hand in hand, so it was the obvious choice for topping these donuts. But if you want a dairy free option, simply leave out the cream cheese when making the glaze for the donuts. (You might need to increase the powdered sugar slightly to make the glaze drizzle or dipping consistency)
Finally box these up, share them with friends and have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
