Step cooking
- Mix flour (340-350 g) with 1 tbsp. l cocoa, ¼ tsp salt, 2 tsp. baking powder and 1 tsp. soda. All these dry ingredients are passed twice through a sieve. To make the biscuit accurately rise, pay attention to the expiration date of soda and baking powder.
- Add 300 g of sugar to the sifted products. Pour 200 ml of kefir and 80 g of cream.
- Add 300 g of vegetable oil.
- Drive 3 eggs of room temperature into the total capacity.
- Top up with 2 tsp. red dye. If for some reason you do not want to add dye, you can replace it by adding 2 tbsp. l cocoa. Of course, then the cake will not have that amazing appearance, but the taste will remain wonderful.
- Beat everything with a mixer at an average speed of 4-5 minutes.
- Let the dough stand for several minutes, and during this time we will prepare the form. At the bottom we put parchment. Slightly grease the sides and bottom of the form with vegetable oil.
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Pour half the dough into the mold and bake the cake for about 20 minutes. We leave the finished biscuit to cool on the wire rack, turning it upside down. Meanwhile, bake the second cake.
- Remove the uneven top from both cakes with a knife. Tops crumbled into a separate bowl. If the upper crust is dry, you can crumble it in a blender.
- Cooking cream from butter, cheese and powdered sugar. Cream butter should be melted, but cheese, on the contrary, is as cold as possible.
- Using a mixer, rub 100 g of butter and 100 g of icing sugar for 1.5-2 minutes until white. Add 350 g of Philadelphia cheese and beat for 2-3 minutes.
- Put the whole cream in a pastry bag. We place the cream on the cake, stepping back from the edge of 0.5 cm. Level the top and cover with the second cake.
- We put a plank on the cake, press lightly with your hands so that the upper cake lies tightly on the cream. Then we cover the top and sides of the cake with a thin layer of cream.
- Pour red crumb on the cake, pressing it a little to the sides with your hands. Allow the cake to stand for at least 2-3 hours in the refrigerator before serving.
In order for the finished cake Red Velvet to have an authentic scarlet hue, it is necessary to use a gel dye. Dry food powder will not give such a bright color.
