Ingredients
1 box red velvet cake mix
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Vegetable oil for frying
Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, milk, eggs, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Whisk until you have a smooth, pourable quick funnel cake batter.
Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F.
Once the oil is hot, use a funnel or squeeze bottle to pour the red velvet funnel cake batter into the hot oil, creating a spiral or other desired shape.
Fry the funnel cake for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the fried funnel cake from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the warm red velvet funnel cake with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream.
Notes
Tips:
- Ensure the oil temperature is consistent to achieve crispy funnel cakes without absorbing excess oil.
- For a vibrant red color, consider adding a few drops of red food coloring to the batter.
-
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
