How To Make That Delicious Dessert Cake Red Velvet Goodness!
Family gatherings are always fun and great parties because you get to see your loved ones and renew ties with them. Normally gatherings involving family are held during special celebrations and most importantly during holidays.
During these special holiday occasions, a party wouldn’t be complete without some cake. Here is my most favorite recipe for that delicious Red Velvet cake. Although there are lots of recipes out there for this kind of cake, this one is what works best for me.
After you’re done with baking & icing your velvet cake then store the cake inside any airtight container big enough for it to hold the cake then place inside your fridge and take it out an hour prior to serving it up to your guests.
For the Cake: You’ll need 1/2 c of shortening, 1.5 c of sugar (granulated), 2 ozs food color (red), 1 tbsp powdered cocoa, 1 tsp salt, 2.5 c of flour (all-purpose), 1 tsp baking soda, 2 pcs eggs, 1 tsp vanilla-flavored extract, 1 c of buttermilk and 1 tsp vinegar.
To make the cake: Get a big bowl and then cream shortening and sugar together. Slowly add in eggs then mix everything well. Next, add powdered cocoa and food color and continue mixing until everything is blended well.
In another bowl, mix salt & flour together then slowly incorporate the flour & salt mixture to your 1st bowl. Blend well then add buttermilk, baking soda and vanilla extract. Then pour the vinegar into mixture and blend well.
Grease lightly 2 pcs of 9-inch in round diameter cake pans and sprinkle some flour on them. Divide the batter into 2 then pour it on your greased pans then bake them at 350 deg. F for about 25 mins. or just until the middle of your baking cake has been cooked already.
For cake icing you’ll need: 1 tsp of vanilla-flavored extract, 1/2 c of butter/margarine, 2 tbsps of flour (all-purpose), 1 c of sugar, 1/2 c of shortening and 1 c of milk (cold).
To make the icing: Inside a medium-sized saucepan, mix together milk & flour at medium flame and stir it constantly just until mixture gets thick. Take off the heat then allow to cool ’til it’s cold enough for it to be placed inside your fridge for it to get chilled.
After it has chilled, take out of your fridge then add sugar, margarine & shortening using your electric hand-held mixter at medium settings until your icing appears creamy and smooth.
Then, add vanilla and continue to beat it for another 30 secs. at medium settings also. After your icing is already done, then spread it evenly on your cake. Add some other decorations if you’re wanting to do it. Get creative with your holiday red velvet cake!
