My cousin and I wanted to attempt a Red Velvet cake (her ultimate fave) today
Fortunately, it was absolutely Deeevoin, and she'll be baking her own birthday cake in 2 months!
Every bite was Lovely and Moist, the White Chocolate and Cream Cheese icing ooohhh
what a sinful treat, that icing..
I shiok sendiri and had two helpings xP
Cake:
3/4 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
a pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups oil (yes, 1 and a half)
2 eggs
1 cup of milk
dash of vanilla
red food colouring (as much as you like)
Icing:
400g room temperature cream cheese
220g white chocolate, melted
150g softened butter
2 cups icing sugar, sifted
seeds of 1 vanilla bean (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
For the cake, sift the dry ingredients into a bowl
Beat the wet ingredients in another
Combine the dry and the wet
Add in the food colouring last,adjusting the intensity
Bake in an 8 inch round tin, in 180C for 45 minutes.
Cool completely
Slice horizontally in to 3 layers.
Blitz the icing stuff in a food processor until its smooth and lump-free.
If the icing is too liquid, fridge it for about 10 minutes
( I don't suggest adding anymore sugar )
Layer the cake with the icing as shown in the picture
Top it all off with icing.
We used vanilla bean, which gave it a little something extra!
And plus, the icing had teenie tiny specks of black, and it looked great =)
