Red Velvet Cake...

Assalammualaikum...

Dah lama teringin nak makan Red Velvet Cake ni... nak membuatnya asyik bertangguh- tangguh aje. Nasib baik angin rajin nak membaking dah datang balik...

Resepi kek red velvet ni Amy ambik dari Joyofbaking... dah banyak kali buat resepi ni dan hasilnya sangat memuaskan hati. Amy suka sangat dengan cream cheese frosting dia.... rasa macam ais krim. 

Gabungan cream cheese dengan mascarpone cheese membuatkannya lebih sedap. Amy pernah cuba cream cheese philadelphia sahaja tapi tak sesedap kalau di tambah Mascarpone cheese. 







Red Velvet Cake


2 1/2 cups (250 grams) sifted cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons (15 grams) regular or Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups (300 grams) granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
2 tablespoons liquid red food coloring
1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar
1 teaspoon baking soda


Red Velvet Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Butter two - 9 inch (23 cm) round cake pans and line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowlsifttogether the flour, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
In bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the butter until soft (about 1-2 minutes). Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape downthe sides of the bowl.Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
In a measuring cup whisk the buttermilk with the red food coloring. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour.
In a small cup combine the vinegar and baking soda. Allow the mixture to fizz and then quickly fold into the cake batter. 
Working quickly, divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and smooth the tops with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 -30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Cool the cakes in their pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Place a wire rack on top of the cake pan and invert, lifting off the pan. Once the cakes have completely cooled, wrap in plastic and place the cake layers in the refrigerator for at least an hour (or overnight). (This is done to make filling and frosting the cakes easier.)



Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 - 8 ounce (227 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
1 - 8 ounce (227 grams) tub of Mascarpone cheese, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (115 grams) confectioners' (icing or powdered) sugar, sifted
1 1/2 (360 ml) cups cold heavy whipping cream (double cream) (35-40% butterfat)


Cream Cheese Frosting:In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and mascarpone cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla and confectioners sugar and beat until smooth. Using the whisk attachment, gradually add the heavy cream*(See Note)and whip until the frosting is thick enough to spread. Add more sugar or cream as needed to get the right consistency.
Assemble: With a serrated knife, cut each cake layer in half, horizontally. You will now have four cake layers. Place one of the cake layers, top of the cake facing down, onto your serving platter. Spread the cake layer with a layer of frosting.  Place another layer of cake on top of the frosting and continue to frost and stack the cake layers. Frost the top and sides of the cake. 

Note: You must use a brand of heavy cream that whips very easily to stiff peaks. If you are using a brand of heavy cream that does not whip easily to stiff peaks then whip the heavy cream separately to stiff peaks and then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

Kek Red Velvet 

Bahan-bahannya :


  • 2 1/2 cawan (250 gm) tepung kek*(Amy guna tepun gandum +3/4 sk b.soda + 1 1/2 sk double action b.powder)
  • 1/2 tsp garam*
  • 2 Tbsp (15 gm) serbuk koko* (*ayak bersama) 
  • 1/2 cawan (113 gm) butter (Amy guna SCS)
  • 1 1/2 cawan (300 gm) gula pasir
  • 2 biji telur gred A
  • 1 tsp asen vanilla
  • 1 cawan (240 ml) buttermilk (resepi buttermilk : 1 Tbsp cuka masakan + 240 ml susu segar-biarkan 10 minit sebelum digunakan)
  • 2 Tbsp cecair pewarna merah 
  • 1 tsp white distilled vinegar (guna cuka makan tu pun boleh)
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Cara-cara :
  1. Pukul butter sehingga lembut lebih kurang 1 minit.
  2. Masukkan gula dan terus memutar hingga ringan dan gebu (2-3 minit).
  3. Masukkan telur satu per satu dan pukul rata setiap kali dimasukkan.
  4. Masukkan asen vanilla dan putar hingga sebati.
  5. Dalam larutan buttermilk, masukkan pewarna merah dan kacau sebati.
  6. Pada kelajuan sederhana, masukkan tepung berselang-seli dengan larutan buttermilk dimulai dan diakhiri dengan tepung (masukkan 1/2 tepung dulu, kemudian semua buttermilk dan seterusnya semua tepung yang masih berbaki). 
  7. Dalam satu mangkuk, campurkan cuka dengan baking soda. Campuran akan berbuih atau berbusa. Dengan segera tuang ke dalam adunan kek dan terus kaup balik.
  8. Masukkan adunan ke dalam loyang dan bakar di dalam oven yang telah dipanaskan pada suhu 175 C selama 1 jam atau sehingga kek masak. Sekiranya ingin membakar menggunakan 2 loyang yang sama besar, bahagi adunan kepada 2 bahagian yang sama banyak dan bakar pada suhu 175 C selama 20-30 minit menggunakan api atas dan bawah.
  9. Setelah masak, biarkan kek sejuk di dalam loyang selama 10 minit. Kemudian keluarkan kek dan sejukkan sepenuhnya di atas redai.
  10. Seterusnya, balut kek dengan plastik dan simpan dalam peti sejuk sekurang-kurangnya 1 jam atau sehingga semalaman untuk memudahkan proses menghias kek.
