.red velvet.

Yes people, hello there again.

Hari ni jom kita share share recipe mau? haa, mesti hampa mau punya lah. Okay, first things first, me and my oldest friend cik Amaani..we always love baking and making all these food yang more to desserts since lepas SPM lagi and so yeah lepas habis Matric and Asasi this is like one of the things we do.

Tapi ini tak bermakna lauk-pauk tak pandai masak wokehh? Still learning la ofcourse. Kalau Makcek umoq 40 pon dok tgk AFC blajaq masak apatah lagi kami yg 19 tahun ini, haha! (defensive much?)

Right, berbalik kepada title post di atas iaitu Red Velvet, I first come across this name masa time tgk DC Cupcake dkt Starworld la, yg menariknya cake ni is because dia colour merah and makan dgn cream cheese, sama mcm makan dgn Carrot Cake..and time tu dalam DC Cupcake, red velvet ni ramai suka bagi dekat their girlfriends and wifes sbb its red and represents LOVE la kononnya.

Lepas tu masa time balik KL ada my aunt ni tanya, penah try red velvet tak? and I was like NO tapi mcm penah dgr la kan. Then she said dekat KL ni mcm 'in thing' sekarang and ramai yg suka beli and memang sedap. So, for those of you yang teringin nak rasa boley gi cari dkt Delicious Restaurant or if nak try sendiri can just use this recipe I'm providing you, nak buat cake boley, cupcake pon boley..according to my mum la..

THE RECIPE:

>1/2 cup shortening
>1 1/2 cups sugar

Frosting (cream cheese):

Yeah, itu dia. Hopefully menjadi for those yang nak try, because it did work for me and Amaani. Tee hee ;)




How you want to do the frosting is all up to you. We just decided to cover it all up.
