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.

Sugar-Free Vegan Decaf Chocolate Chai Tea Latte Recipe


Chai tea and chai tea latte's have always been a favorite of mine, but I haven't had one in about a year and a half since I quit caffeine. And while you can buy chai tea bags for a low price, they don't have caffeine free options in many places. Chai lattes at supermarkets or coffee shops can be $2-5 which is a total rip off, full of sugar (20-50+ grams), fat (5-15+ grams) and chemicals. 

After finding a $1 container of Pumpkin Spice at a local discount store and trying it out in some protein smoothies, I was reminded of my old favorite chai tea. Pumpkin spice has cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves so it really covers all your bases for pennies. I decided I would try making my own with cheap and healthy ingredients with decaf black tea.

I made this beverage sugar-free (or very close to it, about 1 gram of sugar) and vegan by switching out milk or cream for my favorite new staple: unsweetened soy milk. Nothing bad in this chai tea, and with some protein and antioxidants to boot! Enjoy!

Makes: One 10-12 oz Cup

Time: 3 Minutes

Ingredients:

- 8-10 oz filtered water
- 1 Decaf Black Tea Bag
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1/4 teaspoon cocoa powder (100% cacao)
- 2 oz unsweetened Silk soy milk
- 1/2 packet of stevia (optional)
- 1-2 drops vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 cinnamon stick for stirring (optional)

Instructions:

Boil 8-10 oz filtered water and add the decaf black tea bag. Steep tea for around 30 seconds then add the cocoa powder, pumpkin spice, and stevia granules / vanilla extract drop if desired. Steep and stir for another 30-60 seconds then add the unsweetened soy milk. Stir with a spoon or cinnamon stick! Drink now or you could throw in the fridge to pair with ice cubes the next day for iced chai tea latte. Drink up with delight!


I hope you enjoyed this free healthy homemade sugar-free vegan decaffeinated chocolate chai recipe on a frugal budget.

Wholesome Homemade Whole Wheat Bread Recipe


It's time to carbo-load with this wholesome homemade whole wheat bread frugal recipe! We know that Weight Watchers investor Oprah Winfrey says she "loves bread" and I know you will too with this recipe. The whole grains and added ground flaxseed + Chia seeds increase the protein and fiber content while reducing the blood sugar spikes you'd get from eating processed white breads. 

And if you want to substitute in agave nectar or another sweetener for honey then this recipe will be completely vegan, thanks to the Earth Balance or I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Vegan being substituted for butter. 

Serving Size  1 Loaf

Ingredients 

- 1.5 cups hot filtered water 110 degrees
- 2.5 teaspoon active dry yeast 
- 1/3 cup honey (or 1/4 cup agave nectar for vegans)
- 2.5 cups bread flour 
- 2 tablespoon melted Earth Balance vegetable oil spread 
- 2 teaspoon salt 
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour 
- 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoon Chia Seeds

Instructions 

For this frugal recipe you'll need to use a bread making machine. Mix all the ingredients per the bread maker's manufacturer instructions. Select Dough cycle; press Start. Once the dough is ready, place on a floured surface and knead until the dough is not too sticky. Add a little more flour as you are kneading, but don’t add too much. Place dough into bread pan and place in unheated oven for 30 minutes or until doubled. After the 30 minutes has passed and the dough is still in the oven, heat your oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes once the oven is preheated. Remove from pan and cool. Store the homemade whole wheat bread in a tightly sealed container. Enjoy the frugal feast!

I hope you enjoyed this free recipe for wholesome homemade whole wheat bread on a lean budget.

Great Green Homemade Hot Sauce Rockin Recipe


Hot sauce has always been a great way to add some serious spice and fantastic flavor without packing on the calories or costing too much money. Sometimes you just gotta go green while you save some green! Homemade green hot sauce is a healthy, low calorie, and natural way to add some serious taste to your boring or bland food. You may not be used to the green color but I assure you it's just as good if not better than its red companion! Enjoy this vegan, gluten-free, and healthy homemade hot recipe on all of your favorite lean proteins and vegetables to spice up your life!

Ingredients 

- 2 tablespoons canola oil 
- 8 jalapeno peppers
- 5 serrano peppers 
- 1 poblano pepper
- 1/3 small red onion 
- 1/2 cup white vinegar 
- 1 cup filtered water 
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder 
- 1/2 tablespoon black pepper 
- 1/4 tablespoon cumin 
- 1 tablespoon lime juice 
- 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Chia Seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Cut up healthy and lean peppers into quarters and thoroughly slice the onion. I used the seeds and ribs of the peppers for optimal heat. Saute in a small sauce pan with oil on medium heat. Keep a lid on it but stir often. When a majority of the peppers start to soften and the skins peel, add water and vinegar. Let boil for 20-30 minutes, stirring often. Let it cool a bit, then throw it in a blender. Puree then add the garlic powder, black pepper, cumin and lime juice, then puree the crap out of it again. Once it cools a little more, pour it through a strainer into a funnel into your container. You’ll need to smush it around with a spoon and will end up with about a quarter cup of fibrous paste. Cap it and let it cool, then put it in the fridge for a few days before enjoying on a variety of healthy foods in need of seriously spicy flavor!

Make sure to pair this frugal feast up with an overall healthy meal plan, scientifically proven dietary supplements, and consistent frugal workouts.


I hope you enjoyed this free healthy recipe for great green homemade hot sauce for vegans and Celiacs on a lean budget!
