Red Velvet or Red Devil !?! I'm really crazy about baking at the moment. Well, we need lots of practice to get better, don't we? One day, I decided to bake 'Red Velvet Cake' on my day-off work. And as usual, nothing went smoothly. I had 1/2 cup short of plain flour from the recipe. But I went ahead. This recipe uses Baking Soda, which I had never used it before then. When I put the batter in the oven, the cake seemed to pop up very high. I was afraid that it would explode! Luckily, it didn't. ^^" The result look quite interesting. However, it tasted a bit bitter. Had I made the Red Devil instead of the Red Velvet?!? I wasn't so sure why. I consulted all the bakery experts around me. They concluded that the bitterness is from Cocoa, not Baking Soda as I assumed. The solution was to eat it with something that might rescue the taste. I then made whipping cream and it turned out better. Actually, according to the recipe, this cake should be eaten with frosting cream cheese. I tried to make this cream cheese thing that day. Didn't know why my cream was full of small lumps! Oh well, I had been beating it for quite a long time. I was afraid that my mixer's motor was going to burn before I could get the soft smoothy frosting cream cheese. "Enough!" .. I heard someone shouting. Haha .. that was my other half. The motor worked very loudly and I thought I might need to have my hearing check afterward. I put my lumpy frosting cream cheese on my cake. It tasted heap better! Never mind the look. And hey, don't worry about getting deaf from baking!:P It's just a piece of cake! Why is it so damn hard? Baking .. whipping ..beating Edible at last. Canon 400D with 100mm f2.8 |
