Valentines' Day is just around the corner. Can't have Valentines' without Red Velvet. I'm not in Delhi anymore, so I can't cajole somebody to take me to Elma's and buy me a slice of their signature Red Velvet, so I decided to make one of my own and settle for a homemade version instead.
And I wasn't disappointed, not one bit.
I followed the recipe Anmol's put up on her blog.
The recipe can be found - here
Even the frosting is her recipe, but instead of using 2 cups of sugar, I used one cup, and I used a little more butter, about 80 grams. Instead of sprinkling the top with crumbs, I used fancy sprinkles that were given to me yesterday. LOTS of it. If you don't have sprinkles, don't fret. This cake is amazing just by itself without any decoration.
The recipe calls for one 8 inch cake, I baked 2 4 inch square cakes.
If like me, you've overcooked the top and the top is brown. DON'T WORRY. The knife shall come to your rescue. Just scrape the brown bits off to reveal a luscious red and there, your cake shall look perfect.
This cake tastes better when served cold. It tastes really good not cold also, when I think about it.
The frosting tastes brilliant, and goes with absolutely everything. I ate left over frosting with cookies, and put some on bread and then when there was no bread left, i just took big spoonfuls of frosting and stuffed my face. Yum.
This cake reinforces my faith in Red Velvet. It tastes SO GOOD. The cake is moist and yummy, and the frosting compliments it perfectly. The perfect Valentines' Day snack, if you ask me. I wouldn't mind lying in bed all day with my significant other [ haaa!] and eating this. No, really. That sounds like heaven right about now.
