My grandmother is losing her memory and one thing I have wanted for years was her Red velvet cake recipe. I have tried so many times to look for recipes that could be it, even the beet ones. I just cant get it to be like hers.
Her cake is SO DEEP of a red color. I thought it had to be from beets not just food coloring.
Another huge difference in her cake, from other recipes I found. Is hers is VERY THICK! Not fluffy at all. If its cut into a thin slice, it still stands tall. It has a texture of being more fudge like, yet you know its cake and not fudge. Its UNBELIEVABLE!
One thing I do know is she said that it takes a long time to make, hours of cooking and preparing to make it perfect. But all the recipes I can find, don't take 1/2 as long. I thought that she could be meaning the frosting but Im not sure.
I would like to at least attempt to make this cake for my growing family, one day. Can anyone help me, PLEASE!
Thank you so much!PLEASE, Can you help me find the correct red velvet cake recipe my grandmother used to cook?
have you read all the recipes on http://www.recipezaar.com for this particular one?
My recipe is sort of remodeled from the original.
I use an entire large red food coloring bottle. I also use 8 oz brick softened cream cheese in cake mix.
I measure the water called for (sometimes milk or half and half) and compensate for the amount of color I will add in any cake mix.
Also Wilton makes a very dark red paste color that you don't have to change the liquid measurement. Add it a little at a time until you cake is dark enough red.PLEASE, Can you help me find the correct red velvet cake recipe my grandmother used to cook?
You could try going to the Southern Living website and search their site for a recipe.
