I was struck that I have not ever shared one of my red velvet recipes with you all before, not just on the blog, but in all the years I have been sharing recipes online, going back to 2002. As well, it is the last outing of FFF for the time being, as Sarah is going back to compete her master’s degree so the group will be on hiatus until further notice.īut for this month, I decided that I would do red velvet brownies with white chocolate chips and a cream cheese frosting. Red Velvet Brownies are my recipe of the day, and are posted with the Fantastical Food Fight blogging group. Red Velvet Brownies By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

And are you ready for Christmas? Our celebration starts on the 24th of December for a family dinner at our place where I'll be cooking up a storm. There's no use being shy about it or only using a bit and then being disappointed that it's a pale washed out red. To get the red velvet colour, you need red colouring. I've completely omitted the sugar from the cake part and added a cream cheese topping because red velvet comes with either a cream cheese or buttercream icing and I'll use any excuse for cream cheese frosting. The white chocolate being so sweet already means that So this recipe uses white chocolate and a bit of dark chocolate and vanilla extract as red velvet cake has a little cocoa and vanilla to give it flavour. Brownies really need chocolate in them to be brownies and to get that distinct gooey, chewy texture and crackly crust on top. These red velvet brownies are different from a lot of the recipes that are floating around which often contain little to no chocolate and are more like moist cake. They will say things like 'but it doesn't taste like anything in particular' and rue the amount of red food colouring while others like me, love the history of it and the bright burst of surprise colour.

Red Velvet is another trend that has some avidly embracing the vivid red cake while others scratch their heads about it. It was something that I wanted to bake last year and thought that I'd have I gave myself one last baking expedition before settling in for the round of Christmas get togethers with friends. But in the meantime, I can't stop baking. I'll have a day or two rest before regrouping and putting together a NYE spread. It was that last burst of energy before collapsing, the date of which is 26th of December after Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebrations. I did not realise how little time I'd have to do it however.Īlso, something kicked in around Christmas. To make items like trussed up pork loin black & blue beef and 'virginal vanilla' ice cream. It took me months to get into the whole Fifty Shades phenomenon too but then I wanted to do something with it so much that I registered the website address 'with ideas on how I'm late to the party for Homeland and I now find myself devouring episode after episode. In most cases, I'm not often a first adopter, I'm more of a mid adopter but once I get started, I made up for tardiness with obsession. If there is a trend or obsession, I always want to read more about it.
