2 tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp red food color (mine is green leaves brand)
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup all purpose cream + 1 tsp calamansi juice ( for homemade buttermilk)
-

Red velvet cake uses buttermilk..but it's very hard to find so I made a DIY buttermilk.. just combine the
cream and calamansi juice.. you can use lemon juice or anything acidic to thicken the cream..you can also
use milk..

Procedure:
Next..cream the butter and sugar..then add egg and mix together..

Add now the vanilla...set aside..

Mix the cocoa and the food color..im trying to use the food color as little as possible..just 1/2 tsp is enough for
me..some recipe uses 2 bottles of red color! thats enough to make my black heart and green mind turn red..
Mix it until it makes a paste...you can a few drops of milk or water if it's too dry...set aside
Now mix the flour, baking powder and pinch of salt..you can sift it together if you have a sifter to equally
distribute the powders... but for me I don't have it so I just mixx it with fork..hehe
Now add the red cocoa paste to the creamed butter sugar and egg..mix well
Now combine the half of the homemade buttermilk to the mix...
Now add the half of the dry mix...don't over mix! I try to mix it in just 10 strokes..
Now add the other half of the buttermilk and fold again....
Add the remaining flour and fold...
After...pour into pan..
Cover in foil.. Steam for 30-45 minutes...
Now we're going to make the frosting wile waiting..
Ingredients:
1/4 cup powdered sugar or more depending on your preferred sweetness..
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup cream cheese
Or
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 creamcheese
I tried both frosting both tastes great but the second option yields more frosting
Whip all the ingredients together... the laziest way to do it. Hehe
Put the frosting inside a piping bag..or any plastic will do......as long as it's clean okayyy...
After the cake is cooked, cool it and cut it in half... Level the top....
Then make crumbs by scraping the left over cake top..
Add frosting at the center spread and sandwhich the other on top..
