Red Velvet Cake
3/4 cup pureed beets (roast them at 350 for 30 min. adding 1/2 cup of water to the pan after 10 min.)
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp. plain yogurt
1/2 tsp. vinegar
2 eggs
3/4 cup flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup dutch cocoa
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together all of the dry ingredients and set aside. Blend the wet ingredients until uniform. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until thoroughly combined. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Cool before icing.
Cream Cheese Frosting
3 blocks cream cheese (8 ounces each)
2 sticks unsalted butter
1/4 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. vanilla extract
Cream together the cream cheese and butter at room temperature. Add the salt and sugar and blend until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract and frost cake after cooled.
Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy red velvet cake. The red beets sound strange at first, but then carrot cake--you can't taste the carrots. So....I would enjoy trying this.
