Red Velvet Cuppies

This week project is baking. So, I've chosen red velvet cake as the experimental recipe. The ingredient were taken from Martha Stewart's webbie. The ingredients are :

• 2 1/2 cups cake flour (not self- rising), sifted - guna tepung biasa jer, tepung gandum
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder - serbuk cocoa
• 1 teaspoon salt - i used a pinch only
• 1 1/2 cups sugar - i used only 1 cup of organic sugar
• 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon red gel-paste food color - any food coloring
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk - beli siap dekat cold storage
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar - i skipped this

Lupa pulak nak ambil gambar each items, dah campur semua baru teringat. so whisk together tepung, serbuk coklat dan garam.

Start with slow speed, whisk together sugar and oil until combined (approx. 1 minute) Then further whisk with medium-high speed for about 5-6 minutes. Tambah telur, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated. Campurkan food coloring dan vanila extract. Then, turunkan kelajuan mixer untuk tambah tepung, buat tiga pusingan. 1 bahagian tepung dan 2 bahagian buttermilk, pukul sampai rata then continue to next batch. Bancuh baking soda dan cuka dalam mangkuk lain sebelum ditambah ke dalam adunan tadi. Mix on medium speed 10 seconds.

Isi separuh penuh sebab nanti dia akan naik tinggi. Bakar pada kepanasan 180 degrees selama 30 minit. Pusingkan tray (rotating tins halfway through) untuk masak yang serata. Cucuk kek dengan lidi or garfu untuk test dah masak ke belum.

Untuk cream cheese frosting :
3/4 daripada 200gm cream cheese
50 gm butter unsalted
100 gm confectionery sugar

Pukul cream cheese n butter sampai kembang dengan kelajuan sederhana. Tambahkan gula dan adun dengan spatula. Pastikan kek telah disejukkan dulu sebelum piping cream cheese dan sediakan cream cheese hanya bila nak guna sahaja.

Sejukkan kek sebelum dinikmati.
Gambar siap pun lupa nak ambik, dah separuh habis.
