My 1st Red Velvet Cake Mission ...

The 1st time I tasted the Red Velvet cake, was at my best friend's birthday celebration. Mona's husband bought this expensive RM90 bucks cake from sumwhere from heaven....(the shop's name is sumthing like that) .... anyway, it tasted SO DAMN GOOD! I was in love & determine to make my own.

I googled around, to find the best & simplest recipe... my friend, Mai recommended Joy Of Baking Recipe ... I also, found a simple guided recipe from Model 80an Recipe  & lastly this blogger's mother in law recipe

So, aku follow 3 resipi ni.... the outcome of the cake was superb!! Texture lembot, sedap... now I know why they call it red VELVET!  I lessen the sugar, substitute with brown sugar.... I didn't have red color, so guna pink food coloring ajer.. I really would mind making juz the cake again! Seriously!

But, aku kurang puas hati & the cream cheese frosting... dah la mahal mascarpone cheese tu (RM19/250gm) ... the taste OK, tapi the consistency was slightly runny, made covering the cake a messy job! Several reason could be becoz I lesses the icing sugar... u see, icing sugar will stiffen the frosting. But I tk suka manis sangat.... I should have lessen the whipping cream as well.

So, here's the pics....

Aku nak la hias grand grand skit, mlm tadi dah plan nak buat butterfly kecik2 kaler pink... tapi my hubby this morning nak cepat pi ofis... so ni jer la sempat.... & of course, dia tak bagi aku hias.. takot hodoh ler tu... tension aku, baru excited nak buat butterfly pinkkk!!
