How To Bake The Best Red Velvet Cake

how to bake the best red velvet cake recipe

They say it is much easier to order a red velvet cake online, rather than baking one yourself. But, they don’t know what fun and satisfaction come along with baking a dreamy red velvet cake. So, for all those who don’t quite know about this heavenly dessert, let’s quickly go through some of the interesting facts about this red velvet cake. 

Delicious, smooth and melts in the mouth, this type of cake comes with cream cheese frosting. 

To give the cake a dreamy red color, previously the bakers used to use non-Dutched, anthocyanin-rich cocoa. Which has rather recently been shifted to the usage of artificial food colouring. During World War 2, bakers used boiled beet juices to give the cake, a rich red colour. 

Also known as “Real Waldorf Cake", "Red Carpet Cake", "Red Mystery Cake" and flame cake, among its other popular names. 

The First Red Velvet was mentioned in a book called "The Joy of Cooking" by Irma S. Rombauer who was an author as well as a baker. 

Let’s now quickly dig into knowing how to bake this ruby delight in no time, literally! 

Ingredients For Cake Base 

2 cups granulated sugar fresh zest from 
2 medium oranges 
3 cups cake flour 
1 tablespoon natural unsweetened cocoa powder 
1 teaspoon espresso powder 
1 teaspoon baking powder 
1 teaspoon kosher salt 
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 
1/2 cup vegetable oil 
2 tablespoons red food colouring 
2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 
1/2 teaspoon Fiori di Sicilia extract 
3 large eggs, at room temperature 
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, at room temperature 
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar 
1 teaspoon baking soda 

Ingredients For Cream Cheese Frosting 

10 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature 
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt 
4 cups confectioner's sugar 

Instructions 

- Start by preheating the oven at 350 F. Grease the baking pan and keep it aside for the time being. 

- Now, take a bowl, add 2 cups of granulated sugar and some fresh zest obtained from 2 medium oranges. Spread it evenly, so that the mixture becomes fragrant. 

- Take another bowl and whisk 3 cups cake flour, 1 tablespoon natural unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon espresso powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt until well combined. Keep it aside. 

- Combine 1/2 cup unsalted butter and sugar. Beat it with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. While this happens, combine 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons red food colouring and 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract. 

- Add extract and whisk all the mixture together. Set the mixer speed on some low- intensity stream into the oil mixture into the butter and sugar. 

- Once the oil has been added, turn the mixer speed to medium and continue beating for another 5 minutes, until the mixture is a very light and fluffy and vibrant pinkish colour. 

- Add 3 large eggs and be sure to use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl after addition. 

- Add the flour mixture to the eggs alternating with 1 1/2 cups buttermilk in two parts. Continue mixing until one or two flour streaks are left in the batter. 

- Combine 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar with 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Then, quickly add it to the cake batter and mix for a minute or so. 

- Pour it in the preheated pan and bake it for 30 to 35 minutes. To check whether the cake is done or not, gently poke with a toothpick once the tops of the cake bounce back. 

- Once done, allow the cake to cool down for 20 minutes then carry on to prepare its frosting. 

For Frosting: 

- Take a bowl and mix 10 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup unsalted butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt. Set the mixer at medium speed and beat for a minute or two. 

- Then set the mixer speed to the lowest setting and further add 4 cups confectioner's sugar all at once. Turn up the mixer speed to medium-high, beating for at least 5 minutes or until your frosting turns light and fluffy. Voila! Your creamy red velvet cake with toothsome frosting is ready to be relished! 

Time To Taste

On occasions or no occasion, this red velvet cake acts as a total mood uplifter. Don’t just take our words, rather savor the difference on your own on this amazing homemade red velvet cake recipe.

Spicy Chicken And Avocado Wrap Recipe

spicy chicken avocado wrap recipe frugal cook

Look no further for a healthy frugal dish that you don’t necessarily need to eat straight after cooking and can instead pack away for lunch. We highly recommend this spicy chicken and avocado wrap recipe for plenty of protein, heart healthy fats, and long-lasting complex carbs. 

Time to make this delish and nutrish dish: 
13 min (5 min prepping, 8 min cooking) 

Ingredients

• 2 seeded wraps 
• 1 chicken breast thinly sliced at an angle 
• 1 chopped garlic clove 
• 1 avocado, halved and stoned 
• 1 sliced roasted red pepper from a jar 
• 1 tsp of olive oil 
• ½ tsp of mild chili powder 
• Juice squeezed from ½ a lime 
• 3 sprigs of coriander 

Instructions 

1. Mix the chicken breast with the garlic, chili powder, and lime juice. 

2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan then fry the chicken for a couple of minutes. 

3. While the chicken is frying, warm the seeded wraps either by following the pack instructions or by heating them over a flame to slightly char them if you have a gas hob. A tip for the wraps is not to allow them to dry out otherwise they’ll be difficult to roll. 

4. Crush about half an avocado onto each of the wraps. 

5. Add red peppers to the frying pan to warm them all the way through. 

6. Pile the peppers onto the wraps, along with the chicken. 

7. Finish by sprinkling the coriander over the wraps, rolling them up, and then cutting them in half. 

Enjoy this healthy frugal recipe, bon apetite! 

King Crab Recipes

king crab recipes frugal seafood protein dish

King crab, along with all seafood, is a passion of mine. The truth is that many individuals like king crab recipes. Today's menu is one of my favorites, for my family and especially my grandmother! Unfortunately, we don't get to prepare it often due to the availability and high expense of seafood. 

King crab is the star of this Thai curried stir fry, and one of the most popular meals served in many restaurants in Thailand. It is simple to cook and alternatively, along with the king crab, you can use mixed seafood of your choice. So perhaps we shall begin. 

I usually cook this recipe with whole king crab chopped into lump size pieces. Here is a couple of tips dealing with either frozen or fresh, live king crab and seafood. Make sure you always thaw frozen seafood safely in the refrigerator. A humane way to use live seafood is to place your king crab in the freezer. It makes them sleep, and as I said, it is better for them when you place them in the boiling water. 

Prepare the sauce by mixing one egg in a bowl. Add one tbsp* of oyster sauce, one tbsp. light soy sauce, one tsp** ginger, one tsp. sugar and just one tbsp. curry powder. Beat together until the flavors marry. Set a pan on at medium heat. Add six tablespoons of oil. Mince five cloves of garlic, one green onion cut into one-inch pieces and dice one onion. Sautee the garlic for two minutes, then add the crabmeat stir fry another two to four minutes until cooked through. Toss with the light soy sauce combination, serve on a bed of rice and enjoy. 

An all-American favorite and mine too is the crabcake, served as an appetizer or a main dish. There are many recipes from all regions of the country. Basically, the main ingredients are crabmeat, eggs, bread crumbs and seasonings, a well known being Old Bay Seasonings. A crabcake can be baked, sauteed, deep fried and even grilled. Dredge it in crackers crumbs, flour, or just add parsley for color, and a nice tip is to refrigerate them a bit, two to four hours before cooking. They will stay together when cooked. 

While using your favorite recipe or cooking method, here are a few helpful hints. If you saute' the king crabcakes, brown them in butter until crispy on each side. Baking, well put a little pat of butter on each crabcake on a larger baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and cook until crisp and cooked throughout, or deep fry at 360 to 380 for two to three minutes. 

A popular, well-known crabcake is the Maryland Crabcake, another one of my favorite recipes that uses mayonnaise, mustard and hot sauce in the recipe. It can be placed on the bread of your choice, as a sandwich with a creamy tartar sauce of mayonnaise, pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, mustard if you prefer, lemon and hot sauce for heat. Or a tomato based seafood sauce with a horseradish that spices it up. Just remember, whether it is king crab or your favorite seafood. Enjoy this delicious and nutritious dish!

Delicious Ramadan Recipes You Should Definitely Try

frugal ramadan recipes creamy mushroom soup

Ramadan is a time for eating right and healthy. In order to keep you going through the fast without feeling feeble and exhausted, you need to choose a balanced diet to replenish your energy levels at Iftaar, and Suhour. Try to build an eating plan with sensible quantities of nutritious food; it will be more productive to use a Ramadan planner. Here are a few new mouthwatering that you should give a try this Ramadan and treat your taste buds with something new. 

Chicken Cacciatore 

An Italian classic dish, easy to make, Chicken Cacciatore is basically a hunter style dish prepared from chicken or rabbit, onions, herbs, tomatoes, and bell peppers. It is a fulfilling recipe with the most delicious sauce and full of incredible flavors. 

Firstly, dust the chicken with a little flour and then season it with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, fry the chicken pieces in oil and butter until golden brown. Remove it onto a platter. Add the vegetables mainly onion, garlic, bell pepper, tomato, mushrooms, and herbs. SautĂ© for five minutes or until vegetables soften. Next, add in the tomato paste, chicken stock (if you want), vinegar and water for the sauce. 

Mix in the seasonings; pepper, salt, turmeric, dried oregano, chili flakes, and crushed tomatoes. You can always change the ingredients according to your liking. Bring to a boil for a minimum of 5-7 minutes, and bring the chicken back to the stove. Allow it to simmer for some time and then reduce the heat. 

Chicken cacciatore can be served with a dozen of options. Serve over pasta and sprinkle parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped basil leaves or parsley. If you want, you can always bake the pasta. Leave the chicken a bit uncooked and then add over the pasta, sprinkle it with mozzarella cheese and bake in the oven. Another side dish is rice. Pour the sauce over the rice evenly and there you go. 

For low carbohydrates, you can replace your sautĂ©ed veggies for steamed ones. Zucchini noodles and cauliflower rice are also low in carbohydrates. 

Ginger Chicken With Fried Veggies 

An easy to prepare the dish, Ginger Chicken is a hearty and delicious meal. Consuming only a little time from your busy schedule and leaving you with a wonderful outcome. 

The specialty of this dish is its stir fry sauce. You can either use fish sauce or oyster sauce. Firstly, prepare your sauce by mixing together honey, soy sauce, vinegar, corn flour, and the fish or oyster sauce. Whisk the ingredients over low heat until thickened. If you want to add in a bit of spice, throw in chili flakes or pour some chili sauce when the sauce cools down. 

Next, stir fry your vegetables. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and put some garlic and onion. Also, add some ginger and toss and turn over till it gives off its scent. Now, add small chopped pieces of chicken and cook for a while. Mix in your veggies, preferably, onion, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, corn, and peas. 

Cook until the chicken pieces turn golden brown and the veggies turn crispy but not too hard. Lastly, pour the sauce evenly over all the ingredients. Make sure to turn the heat to a minimum at this point. Turn off the flame as soon as the chicken and other ingredients have been coated with the sauce. If you want, you can also pour the sauce after removing the chicken from the skillet. 

Squeeze some lime juice when done to enhance the flavors. 

Although chicken ginger itself is a complete meal, it can still be served with side dishes. Potato wedges, crusty garlic bread and sometimes rice too. Milkshakes top off the dish in an amazing way. 

Creamy Mushroom Soup 

A soup offering a wonderful aroma and rich, creamy texture, Mushroom Soup is a must at a dinner table. Easy to prepare and loved by all, this soup contains the best deep earthy flavors. Full of a variety of flavors like garlic, onions, and herbs which are subtle enough to enhance the natural flavor of mushrooms without overpowering it, this soup is a relish. 

Start the recipe by heating oil in a large pot. SautĂ© the onions for a minute or two and cook the garlic until fragrant. Put it aside. Next, cook your mushrooms in butter with a pinch of salt. Keep the heat to a medium. Wait until they give off their juices and reduce the heat. Let the juice evaporate and transfer them to the pot when they turn golden brown. Mix onion and mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. 

Sprinkle the mushrooms with flour, mix well and cook for a while. Put in the chicken stock and put the flame on low. Cover the pot and allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes. Occasionally stir the mixture, until thickened. Stir in the cream, to give it a delightfully smooth and creamy texture. Allow it to gently simmer. Make sure not o boil it. Adjust salt and pepper to suit your taste. Lastly, garnish with thyme leaves or parsley.
