Red Velvet. I know it's a trend now in Malaysia. Next to overly priced macarons. ANYWAY, this is not a macaron recipe. This is a red velvet recipe. I know you guys saw the pic. Tempting, I know.My recipe is adapted from a famous YouTube chef. Chef John from Foodwishes. His recipes are AMAZING. Well, not that I tried all of them, I just found it delicious, by the looks of it. Somehow like how Nigella Lawson and Jamie Oliver does on TV. Oh yeah, if you don't know these two other worldly celebrity chefs, you are missing something great in your poor life! FOOD PORN that is.
Anyway anyway! Here! The recipe. I made around 14 cupcakes or so for this much of batter :D
You will need:
DRY
2 1/4 cup cake flour (Subs: 2 1/4 cup plain flour + 4 3/4 tbsp cornstarch. This is to have a more fluffy and refined cake texture)
2 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder (Don't use Milo for this, guys -.-)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
WET
1 cup butter (soft)
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk (Subs: 1/4 cup milk + 3/4 cup yogurt)
2 tsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp red food colouring
How to make:
- Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl. Set aside.
- In a different bowl, cream(mix) the butter and sugar until well combined.
- Drop in the eggs and mix well.
- Pour in the rest of the wet ingredients into the bowl and mix.
- Hand mix the dry ingredients with the wet until combined.
- Fill in paper liners about 3/4 full so it won't overflow when baked.
- Bake in a preheated 180 C oven for around 10 ~ 15 minutes, depends on how big your cupcake tins are.
- Poke with toothpick to check if it's done. When it comes out clean, it is DONE!
- Let it cool in the pan for awhile, or your cupcakes will crumble.
Best served with chilled basic cream cheese frosting (here). But you can always add in other flavours you like. Then, take all the pictures of food porn you want! ENJOY!
Oh yeah, don't forget to post the pictures to me! :D
