A Bit of Red Heaven
As I was enjoying my cup of coffee perusing some of my favorite blogs, I came across one from Anna Johnston in Australia for Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. I love reading about food memories and Anna shared a wonderful one in this post.
The husband loves red velvet cake, but quite frankly I don't make too many of them...in fact, I can only think of twice in 32 years that I made or attempted to make one. Anna's recipe inspired me to put on my apron, grab my scales to convert the measurements, and surprise the husband with a plate of red velvet cupcakes when he arrived home from work.
They were incredibly easy to make and tasted so good that we had to split a second one between us! The husband was absolutley thrilled.

The cupcake papers did not want to cooperate so some of these look like they have crevices in them! |
Thanks Anna for sharing your memories and your recipes!
They are beautiful cupcakes Lana, I saw them in Anna's blog as well.
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing, Lana. I must try the recipe. This is my first visit to your blog and I've spent some time browsing through your earlier entries. I really like the food and recipes you feature here and I'll definitely be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
