My Red Velvet Adventure

Hello!

I'm gonna write this one quick. Ok, tipu. Its a long entry.

I have more than couple of stories to share here but can't seem to find the ample time to do so.

So I'm gonna start with my adventure in finding the best red velvet recipe.

Other stories will have to wait for their turn.

I have baked this cake for almost 10 times now using 3-4 different recipes that I found in the internet.

Unfortunately I still failed to find that one recipe that fits my taste buds.

But still, there's still few recipes that comes out a winner.

I'm gonna share it right here with you lovely people.

I tried this recipe from Sprinkle Bakes.

Its heaven blog for dessert recipe.

But when I tried to bake it, it turns out a horror.

I even tried to baked it 3 times. THREE TIMES.

And failed, every time.

I is sad.

The first time I baked it here, the cake came out burned.

The second time the cake didn't rise. The third time was a disaster.

But with whats left of the cake, it tasted GOOD.

I really love how the cake tasted. Which is explains why I tried to baked it thrice.

It has really soft and spongy texture.

Sadly I didn't snap the photos of my failure.

Didn't have the heart to share it with you people.

Then I tried the Red Velvet (RV) cake pre-mix from a bakery store near my house.

The taste was out. Completely out.

Then my girlfriend Miss N decided to hook me up with her aunt for a RV baking class at her aunt's house.

We went there and I learned how to make a perfect RV.

She got the recipe from here and did made few alterations.

She substitute half of the white sugar with brown sugar.

And she did add 1 tsp of baking powder to the batter.

The cupcakes turns out wow. Just wow.

See the photos for yourself.

 

Thank you Miss N !

The key was not to over beat the batter.

I also got to learned how to make a buttermilk manually. 

I Tbsp of distilled vinegar or lemon juice with 1 cup pf milk. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes.

I find the knowledge is very liberating.

Since finding just a pint of a buttermilk can be a real adventure from where I live.

I also tried this recipe from Bakerella

The recipe is really easy.

The outcome, voila!

The cuppies were very moist.

And thats the end for my RV adventure journey. 

Hope you enjoyed it.

Till the next entry.

Toodles!
