About the recipe

This gluten free red velvet cake is an easy traybake-style version of a classic favourite. Made with Middleton Gluten Free Multi Sponge & Muffin Mix, it comes together quickly with eggs and vegan spread, plus cooked beetroot puree to add moisture and help deepen the colour naturally. If you want a bolder, brighter finish, a little red gel colouring takes it to that signature red velvet look.
