I am notorious for screwing up when baking and I have never made a red velvet cake or any cake from scratch for that matter.
In preparation, I went for a run on the beach. Not in mental preparation, in preparation to eat a couple pieces.
Cake
2 1/4 cup unbleached flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk (which can be substituted with 1 tablespoon white vinegar and the remaining cup filled with milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons (1 ounce bottle) of red food coloring
1 1/2 sticks of butter
1 1/2 cup of sugar
First I combined softened butter and sugar. On the side I mixed the eggs, buttermilk sub, and vanilla together. In ANOTHER separate cup I mixed two tablespoons cocoa and food coloring. I then combined the butter and sugar with bother the buttermilk mixture and the flour and baking soda. Lastly, I put in the red cocoa combo and WOW was it bright!
I baked two 9 inch cakes at 350 for about 15 minutes.
Frosting
1 8oz brick of cream cheese
half a stick of butter
2 cups confectionary sugar
a splash of milk (legit tiny amount, wasn't in the recipe, I put it in to this our the frosting a little)
Combine all the awesomeness.
On to making dinner.
Tomato and Thyme Fish
olive oil
half an onion
half a LARGE tomato - or just one reg size one
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 lb tilapia
Brown the chopped onions in the olive oil. Add the chopped tomato and let that cook for 5+ minutes. Add the brown sugar and soy sauce and let that cook for a couple more minutes. Then cook the tilapia in the sauce.
So, while all of you have a bad case of the Mondays, don't forget, I'm off and making some delicious dinner for you check out!!
