Grandmother's Red Velvet Cake Recipe -do not substitute ingredients or take short cuts because you will get a yucky cake.





2 2/3 c. self-rising flour


1 1/2 c. sugar


1/2 c. vegetable oil


1 stick butter (real butter)


1 tsp baking soda


1 tsp distilled white vinegar


1 tsp vanilla extract


3 eggs


1 c. buttermilk (no substitutees -only real buttermilk)


4 bottles red food coloring





Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 9 inch round pans or line them with waxed or parchment paper. (I often will divide the batter and make 5 - 8 very thin layers. It makes the cake more decadent to me.) Cream butter and sugar. Add oil and eggs one at a time mixing well after each egg. Mix together vinegar, buttermilk and then all 4 bottles of the food coloring. Yes, you do need all 4. You want this to be a rich deep Christmas red cake not pinkish or weak red. Sift together the flour and baking soda. Alternately add the three mixtures a little at the time until all three are combined. Stir in the vanilla and mix well. Pour into the cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean - 20 - 25 minutes maybe more depending on your oven. Let the layers completely cool before you try to frost them.





Cream Cheese Icing


1 package of cream cheese (philiadelphia brand is best) softened at room temp.


1 stick of butter softened at room temp.


1 box confectioners sugar


1 tsp vanilla extract


1/2 - 1 c. finely chopped pecans





Mix the cream cheese and butter together until it is well combined. Add the confectioners sugar a little at a time to combine it well. Add the vanilla and mix well. Add the chopped nuts and mix until it is creamy as if whipped. Frost each layer. If you make the several thinner layers you will most likely need to make 2 batches of icing -which I do anyway because I like thick coats of icing.





This cake is fine on the countertop for a day or two. After that time refrigerate.Im looking for a recipe for RED VELVET CAKE!!!!!?
I know you don't want chocolate cake, but Red Velvet Cake is Devils Food Cake with red food coloring....pretty much 2/3 to a whole bottle for a deep red color. Frost with cream cheese icing.

Hi! I wonder...does anybody have a SIMPLE--yet fabulous--recipe for a ';Tres Leches'; cake?

In specific, I'd like to make a cake that will come OUT of the pan; most recipes I've seen are for a 9';x13'; version. I'm thinking more along the lines of a 9';round pan--or more daringly--a Bundt--either of which seems likely to disassemble into a sloppy mess upon exit from the pan...but has anyone ever accomplished this successfully? Do I need to modify the recipe to ';Dos Leches';, or more drastically, ';Nada Leches';?? And...thanks in advance for your suggestions.Hi! I wonder...does anybody have a SIMPLE--yet fabulous--recipe for a ';Tres Leches'; cake?
This one is made in a springform pan





Tres Leches Cake





INGREDIENTS


1 cup white sugar


5 egg yolks


5 egg whites


1/3 cup milk


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


1 cup all-purpose flour


1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder


1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk


1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk


1 pint heavy whipping cream


10 maraschino cherries


DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter and flour bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.


Beat the egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar until light in color and doubled in volume. Stir in milk, vanilla, flour and baking powder.


In a small bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Beat until firm but not dry. Fold egg whites into yolk mixture. Pour into prepared pan.


Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes or until cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool 10 minutes.


Loosen edge of cake with knife before removing side of pan. Cool cake completely; place on a deep serving plate. Use a two prong meat fork or cake tester to pierce surface of cake.


Mix together condensed milk, evaporated milk and 1/4 cup of the whipping cream. Discard 1 cup of the measured milk mixture or cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining milk mixture over cake slowly until absorbed. Whip the remaining whipping cream until it thickens and reaches spreading consistency. Frost cake with whipped cream and garnish with cherries.














This one in a bundt pan





Tres Leches (Three Milk Cake)


Recipe from: The Florida Keys Cookbook


by Victoria Shearer


Cookbook Heaven at Recipelink.com








The Cuban-American community has adopted as its own this unusual cake, which actually originated in Central America. Tres Leches is a classic yellow cake that, once baked, is saturated with more than 4 cups of liquid—a mixture of three kinds of milk. The result is a remarkably light, sweet, moist confection.








Serves 12 to 15





1 package Betty Crocker Super Moist yellow cake mix (with pudding)





1 1/4 cups water





1/3 cup canola oil





3 eggs





1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk





1 (14-ounce) can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk





1 cup heavy cream





1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut





Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.





Place cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and heat 2 minutes more, scraping howl occasionally.





Coat the entire inside of a Bundt pan with vegetable cooking spray. Pour cake batter into pan and bake for 38 to 43 minutes or until cake pulls away from sides of pan and a wooden skewer inserted in cake comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes, while preparing the milk mixture.





Place evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and cream in a medium bowl. Whisk to mix well.





Invert Bundt cake onto an oversize round serving platter With a wooden or metal skewer, poke holes all over cake. With a flatware tablespoon, spoon milk mixture over cake, allowing it to absorb into the cake. Some of the milk mixture will pool around the cake and in the center of the Bundt. Keep spooning this mixture over cake, adding new holes occasionally, until all liquid has been absorbed. (This will take about 30 minutes.)





Sprinkle cake with coconut. Refrigerate cake until completely chilled, about 1 hour, before serving.





CHEF NOTE: The neutral flavor of this cake encourages experimentation. Variations are endless:





- Substitute sweetened coconut milk for 1/2 cup of the sweetened condensed milk.





- Add 1/4 cup rum, brandy, Irish cream, peach schnapps, or chocolate syrup to the milk mixture.





- Bake it as a sheet cake or a layer cake.





- Frost the cake with vanilla whipped cream or fluffy white icing.





- Top it with a medley of fresh seasonal fruits.





But because of the preponderance of milk in this cake, be sure to keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.

















This one give instructions for a layer cake

Refrigerate cake for 2-8 hours until liquid is absorbed and cake is chilled.


Beat the cream, sugar and vanilla together to make whipped cream. Frost the cake with the whipped cream and serve.


VARIATIONS


Substitute coconut milk for the regular milk if you like. Scatter the frosting with coconut flakes. Add a touch of rum to the milks for even more tropical flavor.


If you would like a layer cake, divide the batter between 2 prepared round cake pans. For layer cakes, you can add a filling of fruit between layers. Try pineapple filling, peaches or bananas. Or any fruit that suits your fancy.


NOTES


Tres leches cake is believed to have originated in Nicaragua, but it is popular throughout Central America.


Leftovers should be refrigerated.

Here is one that is simple but very rich. Good luck





Flourless Chocolate Cake


Perfect for chocolate lovers! Great for entertaining, deceptively easy to make. Perfect for people who can't have gluten. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream, or simply dusted with icing sugar. I flour the pan using cocoa powder so it won't leave white marks on the cake and keeps it totally gluten free.





4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped


1/2 cup butter


3/4 cup white sugar


1/2 cup cocoa powder


3 eggs, beaten


1 tsp vanilla extract


1 Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch round cake pan, and dust with cocoa powder.


2 In the top of a double boiler over lightly simmering water, melt chocolate and butter. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla. Pour into prepared pan.


3 Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Slices can also be reheated for 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave before serving.





Servings: 8


Yield: 1 - 8 inch round cake.


Preparation time: 15 minutes


Cooking time: 30 minutes


Ready in: 45 minutes
Ingredients:


3 whole eggs


3 egg whites


2 ounces of cream cheese


1 can of evaporated milk


1 can of condensed milk


1 Teaspoon of vanilla


3/4 cup of sugar





Procedure:


Take the sugar and caramelize it in a small sauce pan. Do not let the sugar burn. It should be a golden caramel color. Pour this caramel into an 8'; round dish. Make sure to coat the bottom and the sides of the pan.


Place all other ingredients in a blender and mix till it has a smooth consistency. Pour into the pan filled with caramel. Place pan in ';ba帽o de Maria';. Bano de maria is a larger pan that has an been filled with an inch of water. This will help cook the flan. Place the larger pan with flan pan in it in the oven at 350 degrees. (25-30 minutes)





You can check the flan by poking it center with a knife. If the knife comes out clean then the flan is done.

1/4 cup of reserved cherry juice

3Mix together at a medium speed.


4Slowly add 1/4 cup of juice mixture.


5While continuing to mix at a medium speed, add an additional 1/4 cup of juice mixture until desired consistency reached. (You may not need all of the juice mixture to reach a spreadable consistency).


6Remove bowl from mixer and scrape paddle.


7Gently fold in the well drained cherries.

9Place in a glass container with a tight fitting lid.


10Refrigerate. Will keep approximately 1 week.


11*Be sure to drain the cherries well after they are chopped or you may notice the cherries ';seep'; a little juice into the icing.


12I do not add all of the juice mixture when I make this icing.


13I have used this icing to generously ice a 2 layer 9-inch cake. It makes a nice batch of icing. The servings are approximate and can change depending what you are icing.


14Enjoy!

white choc hazelnut cheesecake





Ingredients:





Crust:





陆 cup (1 stick or 110 grams) unsalted butter, melted





1 cup (230 ml) graham cracker crumbs





录 cup (60 ml) sugar





陆 cup (115 ml) ground toasted hazelnuts








Filling:





2 pounds (900 grams鈥?) cream cheese, softened





1 录 cups (290 ml) sugar





4 large eggs, at room temperature





3 ounces (85 grams) white chocolate, finely chopped





3 tablespoons Frangelico liqueur (I used Cointreu)





Topping:





1 cup (230 ml) coarsely chopped toasted hazelnuts





1 cup (230 ml) coarsely chopped white chocolate


























(To toast hazelnuts, place on baking sheet in a 325/165 degree oven for approx. 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant.)





Instructions:


Preheat oven to 325 F/165 C degrees.


To make the crust: In a small bowl, combine the butter with the graham cracker crumbs, the sugar, and the hazelnuts. Press into the bottom of a buttered 10-inch/25 cm spring form pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a rack.


To make the filling: In a large bowl, on the low speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until very smooth. Gradually add the sugar. Add the eggs one at a time. To ensure that the batter has no lumps and that no ingredients are stuck to the bottom of the bowl, stop the mixer several times, and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Stir in the white chocolate and the liqueur until well combined.


Pour the batter into the prepared pan and set the pan on a baking sheet. After 40 minutes, carefully remove from oven and sprinkle hazelnuts and white chocolate evenly over top of cake. Return immediately to oven and bake an additional 20 minutes, until edges are set and center moves only slightly when pan is shaken. At the end of the baking time, turn off the heat, and using a wooden spoon to keep the oven door slightly ajar, cool cake in oven for 1 hour before removing. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.


Remove cake from the refrigerator at least 15-30 minutes before cutting and serving.

  • Recipe for ';Molten Chocolate Cake';?

    Are you talking about the one they serve at Chilis? I use to be a manager there. Ice cream went on top of the chocalate cake that was sent to us which had a chocolate sauce in the middle that melted when microwaved for 30 sec and the icecream was topped with a hard shell coating.Recipe for ';Molten Chocolate Cake';?
    Molten Chocolate Cakes





    4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces


    4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces


    3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces


    4 eggs


    1/2 cup sugar


    1/4 cup all-purpose flour


    1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder


    2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract


    1 teaspoon instant espresso powder or 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules


    1/2 teaspoon salt


    Black Cherry Sauce (see recipe below)


    Whipped cream


    Shaved Chocolate





    Preheat oven to 375掳F. Liberally spray six (6-ounce) ramekins with nonstick spray. In a small saucepan over low heat melt the chocolate and butter, stirring often to prevent burning. Remove from heat and cool.





    In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar with electric hand mixer until ';ribbon'; stage, approximately 7 minutes. At that stage, it will be pale yellow and look like lightly whipped cream.





    Add flour, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, espresso powder, and salt. Beat the batter for 2 additional minutes; add the melted chocolate mixture and beat another 5 minutes. (The batter needs a lot of beating. This incorporates air, lightening the cake's texture.)





    Scoop the batter into the prepared ramekins, approximately 3/4 cup of batter in each ramekin. NOTE: At this point, the cakes can be refrigerated and then baked later.





    When ready to bake, place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake 15 to 17 minutes or until puffed and mostly dry on top around edges. NOTE: It's critical to bake these cakes for the right amount of time. Otherwise, they'll either be way too ';molten,'; or end up as brownies. Oven temperatures vary, so check the cakes after 15 minutes. If they're really moist on top, bake one minutes and check again.





    Remove cakes from oven and let rest 3 minutes (it's okay if they sink a little).





    To unmold, place serving plate on top of ramekin and invert. Carefully remove ramekin, tapping lightly on the plate to loosen cake. Serve the molten cakes warm with warm Black Cherry Sauce, whipped cream, and shaved chocolate.





    Makes 6 servings.





    Black Cherry Sauce:


    1 cup dry red wine


    1/3 cup sugar


    1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar


    2 pieces lemon and orange peel (use a peeler to shave of pieces of citrus peel)


    1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns


    1/4 teaspoon whole cloves


    1 cinnamon stick


    2 teaspoons cornstarch


    1 tablespoon cold water


    1 1/2 cups frozen black cherries


    1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract





    In a small saucepan, combine wine, sugar, vinegar, citrus peel, and spices. Bring to a boil and reduce to 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Strain and return liquid to pan.





    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water. Bring wine mixture back to a boil; whisk in cornstarch mixture, and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add cherries and simmer to heat through. Remove from heat; add almond extract. Serve warm.





    Whipped Cream:


    1 cup whipping cream


    2 tablespoons sugar


    2 to 3 drops pure almond extract





    In a medium-sized bowl, whip cream, sugar, and almond extract to soft peaks.Recipe for ';Molten Chocolate Cake';?
    I've never had the cake at chili's, but this sounds like it is similar. I've made these at home before. The trick is not to overcook them.

    Use splenda in your recipe and on the box it tells how to substitute with any of your favorite recipes.
    I have a 11 year old diabetic that just celebrated a birthday. I had the bakery use Splenda. Not one child or adult at the party even realized the difference. Everyone said it was delicious!!
