A prerequisite is to rest the dough before placing it in a greased form.

The biscuit is baked: 1/3 hour – 170°C.

Wine cake

Despite the fact that many consider impregnation for the dessert in question to be inappropriate because of its “innate” juiciness, it is worth mentioning the impregnation, which gives it new bright flavor notes.

We prepare the dough according to any recipe. We will focus on cream and impregnation.

Cream:

Impregnation:

  • 75 g sugar;
  • 3 tbsp. l. water;
  • 3 tbsp. l. red wine.

Let's make the cream:

  1. Using a mixer, beat the cheeses.
  2. Gradually introduce powder.
  3. Next is the cream.
  4. Before frosting the cake, keep the cream in the refrigerator.

The impregnation is prepared as follows:

  1. We make a thin syrup from a mixture of sugar and water, until the mixture boils, but without bringing it to thickness.
  2. Add wine to the warm mixture.

That's all: the impregnation is ready.

Buttermilk dessert

Initially, the technological map included buttermilk and the following set of products:

  2. We achieve a white, fluffy, homogeneous mass without grains: by intensively whipping sugar and butter.
  3. Stir in eggs, vanilla - use the mixer again.
  4. Combine the already mixed masses and add vegetable oil.
  5. Beat again and add in several additions the mixture of dry products: flour, baking powder.
  6. The dough is ready: start baking - 180°C for 40 minutes.

It is better not to use ready-made cakes right away: best option- cakes that have been steeped a little and rested for at least a couple of hours.

Cake decoration: original ideas

The bright appearance of “Red Velvet” raises a pertinent question about cake decoration. How to make it beautiful and tasty?

The red velvet cake recipe was invented in the USA. And then the unusual Red Velvet conquered the whole world. Bright and extravagant, it is distinguished by its luxurious design and delicate, airy taste.

The subtleties of creating a red velvet cake

The ingredients of Red Velvet Cake include sugar, butter, eggs, flour, soft curd cheese, buttermilk. If the last component cannot be found, it is replaced with kefir, and the cheese with sour cream. All valuable properties the cake gets from the ingredients: it perfectly saturates and thanks to a large number Calcium in dairy products is good for bones and hair.

This is a filling and high-calorie biscuit. People with overweight and impaired glucose tolerance, it is not recommended to abuse it.

To give the cakes a rich scarlet color, use food coloring.. If you are not a fan of such additives, use beetroot juice or puree for the cake with the addition of a small amount of lemon juice or vinegar. Also, cherry, currant or raspberry syrup. There is no need to sour them.

Check the readiness of the baked cakes with a wooden toothpick. If the dough does not stick to it, you can remove the dessert from the oven.

It must be remembered that when baking, the edges of the cakes always become darker. Here they take on an ugly dirty brown color. They need to be trimmed, giving the treat an even shape. This is usually done with a special metal confectionery ring.

There is no need to throw away the remaining cakes. They should be crushed and layered with cream in vases. You will get two desserts at once.

  • It is better to use curd cheese as a base. Creamy is more like processed cheese, it will not give the desired texture.

  • Well beaten cheese cream you can cover the sides and top part dessert. It doesn't slip or leak. It is even possible to decorate the cake with cream roses and patterns.
  • To achieve a perfectly white tone, you first need to beat butter or cream with powdered sugar. And then add cheese.

Looking for a classic recipe

Honestly, I've been looking for a very long time classic recipe Red velvet on American resources. And here's what I found out:

  1. As a rule, Red Velvet Cake in America is prepared for Christmas or Valentine's Day ( *take note about Valentine’s Day).
  2. The main and unshakable ingredients of this cake: kefir, vinegar, cocoa, red coloring and cream cheese (cream/curd cheese).
  3. There are three main ways to prepare Red Velvet: with margarine, with vegetable oil and with butter, but the most common option is vegetable oil, thanks to which the cakes remain moist, soft and do not go stale for a long time.
  4. Sometimes concentrated beet juice is used as a dye.
  5. It is said that the recipe for red velvet cake was distributed in America by the Adams Extract company, which was one of the first to initiate the sale of food coloring. Actually, this was the prosaic reason for the red color of the cake: they needed to sell more dye. This happened during the era of the Great American Depression, that is, in the 30s of the last century.
  6. Initially, the cream for Red Velvet was prepared with butter and custard: flour was brewed in butter with milk and butter was mixed in. Nowadays cream cheese with butter is used everywhere. This gives light cake sourness and makes it much more interesting and tastier.

Which dough should you choose?

I thought for a long time about which method of preparing the dough to choose. I knew that it would taste best, of course, with butter. But cake dough prepared with butter has one peculiarity: in the refrigerator such cakes become hard, and if you leave the cake without a refrigerator, then the cream will become too soft and the cake may lose its shape.

So I settled on a mixture of vegetable and butter so that it is tasty, soft and warm. Read below detailed recipe cake at home with step by step photos.

Red Velvet Cake Recipe

We will need

For the test:

  • flour - 333 gr.
  • corn starch - 40 gr.
  • soda - 1 tsp.
  • cocoa powder - 10 gr.
  • salt - ½ tsp.
  • sugar - 400 gr.
  • odorless vegetable oil - 240 gr.
  • eggs, room temperature - 4 pcs.
  • vanilla extract - 1.5 tbsp. ( you can buy it here )
  • vinegar - 1 tsp.
  • red food coloring - 1−1.5 tbsp. ( You can buy it at BakerStore )
  • kefir, room temperature - 240 gr.

For cream:

  • cream cheese (cream cheese), room temperature (you can take curd cheese, like Almette) - 450 gr.
  • butter, softened - 115 gr.
  • powdered sugar - 350 gr.
  • cream or milk - 30−45 gr. (if necessary)
  • vanilla extract - 2 tsp.

And one more important point. All American authors advise using natural for this cake, non-alkalized cocoa powder. In combination with the acids of vinegar and kefir, natural cocoa gives a reddish tint, and also makes the cakes even more porous and melting in the mouth. In addition, it is not so dark, and the red color turns out lighter. Today, such cocoa is quite difficult to find, which is why we add a lot of dye. But try to find cocoa of at least good quality.

In addition, the same Americans use more for Red Velvet soft flour, which they call "cake flour" to get a more velvety and tender cakes. For these purposes we will use a mixture of flour premium and starch.

  8. Everything is ready, all that remains is to assemble the cake. Coat the bottom cake with a layer of cream, put the second and third on top. Coat the cake with cream on all sides.
  9. We make small crumbs from the cut off tops and decorate our dessert with it. Place it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.

So soft delicate dessert we succeeded. Bon appetit.

"Red velvet" without dye


Tell me it’s impossible to make this cake without red dye, is there anything else you can do? Today I will share my secret of making beetroot cake with you.

  • Orange – 1 pc.
  • Coffee – 20 ml.
  • Egg – 1 pc.
  • Ginger – 1/3 tsp.
  • Beets – 180 gr.

Let's start cooking:

  1. Wash the beets, dry them, wrap them in foil and bake in the oven for about 50 minutes. Add some water to the container with the beets. When it is baked, peel it and grind it in a blender.
  2. Separate the white and yolk. Salt the protein and put it in the refrigerator. Place the yolk in the beets. Grate ginger and orange zest there. Squeeze out 2 tbsp. spoons of juice from it, pour into the beets.
  3. Add olive oil, flour and other dry products, except soda. Mix everything well. Add honey and sugar.

  5. Beat the chilled egg whites until fluffy and mix into the mixture. Place the dough into the mold.
  6. Bake at 190 degrees for about 50 minutes, check for doneness after 30 minutes. You can turn it off earlier. Place the finished cake on a plate to cool.
  7. For the cream, mix cheese with yogurt, sugar and vanilla. Mix everything until smooth, add a little orange zest.
  8. For impregnation, mix coffee with cognac and soak our cake.
  9. Grease the crust and cut it in half.
  10. Lightly fry the nuts in a frying pan, place some of them on one half of the cake, and cover the other half on top. Cut in half again. Sprinkle nuts on one part and cover the other part on top. Coat the top with cream and refrigerate for an hour.
