The kids have loved making a mess in my kitchen this summer. And No I don't have a dishwasher (besides the boys). I am ready for school to start simply for the fact that I will have a ton less dishes to do.
Ethan and his friend needed a snack so they made a red velvet cake almost all by themselves.
They used a recipe from Paula Deen
Ingredients Add to grocery list
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cup cake flour
1/2 lb (2 sticks) butter
2 ounces red food coloring
2 tablespoons cocoa
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vinegar
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat eggs; add sugar. Mix cocoa and food coloring. Add butter and egg mixture; mix well. Sift together flour and salt. Add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Blend in vanilla. In a small bowl, combine soda and vinegar and add to mixture. Pour into three 8-inch round greased and floured pans. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tests done.
For the frosting we just used a basic buttercream frosting.
It was Yummy.... definitely needed a cup of milk with it.
