Red Velvet Cake

Red Velvet Cake

Overview

Red velvet cake is made with natural pigments such as red yeast rice powder. Although the red color is not very bright, it is simple and lovely, making people love it. Many red velvet recipes use a lot of butter. I feel that my family has eaten too much cheese recently, and I also have to use butter for decoration, so I switched to the cake method without using baking powder or the like. The color is still beautiful and the cake body is soft enough. I added butter and eggs, which is relatively healthier.

  16. I cut out squares and hearts. The cake I made was thicker and had to be divided into two layers. When cutting the heart shape, I didn't have a big cutting die, so I used a mousse ring. The ring was a bit thick and the cake was a little cracked under the pressure. It would be better to have a thin cutting die.
