(Cafe World inspired dish # 3)
Patience is not one of my greatest virtue. That was why I was surprised that I found joy in baking this masterpiece.Ā Although I intended to make cupcakes at first since itās less the works and I have more chances of success, this project was all worth the effort. It was not only me who waited with anticipation, the kids were there watching the cake with wonder, āis that strawberry cake mommy?āĀ wasĀ the question repeated for the whole hour.
Ā ĀRed Velvet cake is said to have originated south of the US. There are many speculations butĀ thereās just nowhere to point, just like other legendary foods that made us wonder and craveā¦well, go ahead and just eat it, we can research later!
Originally, beets were used to color this reddish treat, but red food coloring has replaced it long ago. Other common ingredients are buttermilk, butter, flour, cocoa and is normally finished off with white icing, usually of cream cheese. I am not so sure about the sweetness of this particular recipe, I didnāt put in buttermilk but it still turned out moist.
Some recipes include coconut flakes for the icing, since my ācustomersā are kids, I opted for candy sprinkles. For now, I am posting the ingredients of the other Red Velvet cake Iām planning to bakeā¦directions will be posted soon.
