From My Kitchen Presenting..... RV Cupcakes



Jumaat malam hari tue oven beroperasi lagi. Kali nie saya buat red velvet cupcakes. Dah lama sediakan bahan-bahan tapi mood membaking resepi nie tak mari-mari. Bibik dok risau tengok saya selalu bawa balik bahan-bahan nak buat cake ke rumah. Dia kata saya rajin buat tapi kat rumah takde orang nak makan.

Tapi kali nie buat pun ada sebabnya. Tue yang macam terpanggil nak buat RV Cupcakes malam nie. Hari Sabtu lepas (19 Januari) was Rosie's 14th birthday (Rosie's is SIL 1st daughter). Aunty Miza dia pun saje la nak bagi this cupcake for her birthday.

Dulu masa kat London dah pernah buat RV cupcakes nie. Tue la pun sekali buatnya. Lepas tue takde nak buat lagi dah. Akan tetapi untuk kali nie punya attempt kira dah ada sikit pengalaman la. Insyallah, kesilapan tue boleh diminimakan.


My 1st RV Cupcakes



This time around saya tak pakai resepi yang dulu. Google lagi resepi yang baru. Tapi bila tengok balik resepi nie more or least lebih kurang je. Sikit je beza dari segi sukatan. Yang lain...ingredients nya sama sajork. Untuk RV kali nis saya guna resepi dari this blog.

1/4 cup soft unsalted butter - 57g
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk - I used 1/2 cup whole milk plus 1/2 tbsp vinegar/lemon
1/2 tsp vinegar - i used heinz distilled white vinegar 5%
1/2 tsp baking soda

Cream cheese frosting :

125g cream cheese

Method
1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
2. In one container, sieve flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. In a small container, combine cocoa powder and red coloring and stir well until form a paste (I added a little water).

5. In a small bowl, combine vinegar and baking soda and add it to ur batter. Stir well with a spatula. Pour into a 6" baking pan and bake it for 50mins or until cooked.
6. Let cool on wire rack.
7. Once cool, slice cake into two and spread cream cheese filling.. top it with the rest of ur cream cheese too... chill for a few hrs..

Cream Cheese frosting:

2. Turn mixer to low speed, add powdered sugar a little at a time. Whisk until well blended.
3. Add whipped cream, stir through with a spatula.

* Time : 23 minit dan suhu pula 170'C. (bergantung pada oven masing-masing ya)


Tara...ini RV fresh from the oven!!!!!! Suci murni kerana masih belum diletakkan topping. I just love the red color. Sangat menyerlah warnanya.


Ini rupa RV Cupcakes saya setelah di'deco' dengan cream cheese frosting dan some crumb...


QC pada malam itu adalah Bibik dan Mr. Hubby. Berdebar2 (ceh...ceh..drama la sangat) rasanya nak dengar verdict dari dioarang. Of course la uolls ...bendanya dah siap. Pastu kalau rasa ke laut, camne??? Esok nak bawa gi birthday party nie.

Hubby kata sedap...Bibik pun kata sedap (berani kau Bibik kata tak sedap???!!!!) Lega mak incik!!!! So bolehlah kita bawa untuk event esok. Esok lagi ramai yang nak merasa nie. Kalau diaorang suka, alhamdulillah. Kalau tak kompen iolls tak buat lagi dah RV nie.

Jom makan!!!!!


Personally, saya suka resepi yang kedua tue. The color, the texture and the taste is just perfect for me. Or mungkin sebab iolls dah tak menggelabah macam 1st attempt dulu kot. Tu yang semua macam ok je bila try buat kali kedua nie. But seriously, memang terasa ke'velvet'annya.....

Selamat mencuba uolls!!!!
