Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

3/17/14


My baby boy turned 5 over the weekend.  He's 5.  He will start kindergarten next year and ride the bus and did I mention he is 5???  I can't wrap my head around how fast time goes by.  We had a big birthday party for him in California before we left, so this weekend's celebration was rather small but still birthday-cake worthy.  At least to me it was.  He said, "Mama, I don't want a birthday cake, I don't like birthday cake" and I said, "Okay that's fine but I'm still making you a birthday cake."  And guess what?  He liked his birthday cake.  Because this was the best Red Velvet Cake I've ever tasted.


His favorite colors are red and gold, so this particular cake was a no brainer (I put edible gold stars on top).  At first I was going to settle on a Paula Deen recipe, because despite her issues let's face it, if boooooter, iggs, and awwl are involved (human translation: butter, eggs and oil) she usually gets it right.  However, the reviews on her recipe said it tasted like Playdoh?  So I went with this recipe instead.  It's perfectly moist (even better the next day), has that defined hint of cocoa flavor and the cream cheese frosting is to die for.  I cannot stop eating it and I HIGHLY recommend you try it.      





In case you care...

Mmmm...you can't go wrong with Bakerella. Wait what ride the bus....noooooo. The best goodbye tears are shed on the playground while you bawl your way back to the car. Then you consider stalking him all day to make sure that he's ok. Then you finally convince yourself that everything will be ok, and you go to Target!!!

yep, this is the only red velvet cake I ever make. I totally agree, it's even better the next day. Just stand there and eat it with a fork, don't even bother cutting a slice

Red Velvet cake is my all time favorite in the whole world. I even like the cheap grocery store version so home made could be dangerous!

Health Benefits of Walnuts;
(originally posted under Juglans — Jay L09 (talk) Stumbled upon this article: A Walnut Diet Improves Endothelial Function in Hypercholesterolemic Subjects. A Randomized Crossover Trial (PMID 15037535). If the information is true, it would be good to include the health claims of walnut consumption in the article.--CopperKettle 02:45, P.S. A quote from the article: Nuts are fatty foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids.1 Epidemiological studies have shown that frequent nut consumption decreases the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), with adjusted relative risk reductions approaching 50% for nut intakes of >4 to 5 servings per week compared with little or no intake.2–4 Feeding trials have demonstrated that healthy diets enriched with a variety of nuts consistently reduce total and LDL cholesterol by 5% to 15%.1,4–8 The lipid effects of nut intake only explain in part the CAD risk reduction observed in prospective studies, suggesting that nuts might have antiatherosclerotic effects beyond cholesterol lowering.
Besides having a favorable fatty acid profile, nuts are a rich source of bioactive compounds with potential benefit on CAD risk such as dietary fiber, folic acid, and antioxidants.1 Nuts also contain sizeable amounts of L-arginine, the precursor amino acid of the endogenous vasodilator nitric oxide (NO).9 Walnuts differ from all other nuts by a high content of -linolenic acid (ALA), a vegetable n-3 fatty acid,10 which might confer them additional antiatherogenic properties.11--CopperKettle 02:56, 11
After reading the journal article referenced by CopperKettle, I have cleaned the treatment of this study, as follows:
Replaced unhealthy with saturated fat.
