And I know it might sound intimidating but I’ll walk you through this step by step and you’ll see why it’s worth chucking out that box mix and making it yourself.

What is Red Velvet Cake?

No, there’s no velvet here. If you’re from the South, then you likely know this treasured cake. It’s actually a vanilla cake that has cocoa powder and then red food coloring which is what gives it that luscious red color. It’s vinegar and buttermilk that gives it a signature tang and on top, a sweet cream cheese frosting that brings it all together in the most delicious of ways.

What is red velvet cake made of? (Red Velvet Cake ingredients)

Cake flour – This is the base of our cake.
Unsweetened cocoa powder – Make sure it’s unsweetened (we’ll be adding plenty of sugar, trust me!).
Baking soda – Helps our cake rise up.
Unsalted butter – You’ll want to have this softened to room temperature first.
Sugar – See? I told you so!
Salt – For balance.
Vegetable oil – This helps our cake stay nice and moist
Vanilla extract – Adds that alluring warmth and sweetness.
Eggs – Binds our cake batter together.
Vinegar – Creates a tangy taste.
Buttermilk – Helps make the batter consistency just right and also adds more tang.
Red food coloring – A little of this liquid is what gives us that red color.
Cream cheese frosting – No cans here! You’ll make this from softened cream cheese, salted butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar.

This is the best red velvet cake recipe you’ll find because we’re using simple and wholesome ingredients to make it. No boxes, no canned frosting. Just pure and delicious things to bake up a truly wow-worthy cake that everyone is going to love.

Easy Red Velvet Cake Recipe

Yes, this red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting is easy, I promise. Don’t let the ingredient list scare you, or the amount of prep time. True that this is not a cake to bake on a busy weeknight, you will see that it’s a snap to put together when you’ve got free time.

You’re only humane. You live once and life is wonderful, so eat the d**n red velvet cupcake.
Emma Stone

How do you Make Red Velvet Cake from Scratch?

You’ll start by getting your oven preheated to 350F and prepping two 9-inch cake pans with nonstick cooking spray and parchment paper.
Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl, sifting first to get rid of lumps.
In another bowl, cream your butter and sugar on medium for 5 minutes.
Add in the eggs gradually, then add the oil, food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar, scraping down as needed.
Mix the dry ingredients and the buttermilk 1/3 at a time and alternate between adding 1/3 of dry ingredients and 1/3 of buttermilk until it is all combined.
Distribute this batter between the 2 pans, then bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Let them cool for 20 minutes in the pans before removing and cooling on a wire rack. As the cakes cool, make the frosting using your electric mixer to beat the cream cheese smooth, then add butter until well combined.
Next, add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Once cakes are cool, assemble them and frost.

Expert Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Red Velvet Cake Every Time

Let your eggs get to room temperature. Doing so will give you better volume.
Fluffier frosting hack…make sure both the cream cheese and the butter (the salted one you’re using for the frosting) come to room temperature first.
Use a cake leveler. This will help you evenly cut the tops of the cakes for a beautiful presentation, though a serrated knife can work too.
Take those crumbs from the leveling of the layers and use them to decorate the top if you like!

What flavor is red velvet cake?

Red velvet cake tastes like chocolate in a way due to the cocoa powder but with the vinegar and buttermilk, it has a contrasting tartness that makes it unique compared to chocolate.

Is a red velvet cake just a chocolate cake?

Red velvet cake has cocoa powder in it, but it contains much less of that than a chocolate cake so, it isn’t just a chocolate cake with red food coloring.

How to Make Red Velvet Cake

Red velvet cake is easiest when you have a mixer to bring everything together. Once that batter is prepared, you bake it in your oven.

What is red velvet cake batter made of?

In red velvet cake batter, you have cake flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, unsalted butter, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, white vinegar, liquid red food coloring, and buttermilk.

What is the secret of red velvet cake?

Red velvet holds a few secrets. It has cocoa powder to give it a chocolatey taste. It has vinegar to give it a tang. And it also has buttermilk to give it tanginess and more richness in flavor.

How do you moisten dry red velvet cake?

If you follow this recipe, that shouldn’t happen to you because vinegar is used in the batter. This gives it a better crumb. But if something went awry, time in the fridge could moisten it up.

Does red velvet cake need buttermilk?

Yes, but if you don’t have it and don’t want to run to the store, you can take your regular cup of milk and add one tablespoon of either white vinegar or lemon juice. Stir that together a minute and then add it to the recipe.

What can I add to a red velvet cake mix to make it better?

If you want to use a red velvet cake mix you have in your pantry, you can make it better by doing a few different things. You can add another egg beyond what is called for on the box, swap the water with buttermilk, or add some vanilla extract to jazz it up.

How Long do you bake Red Velvet Cake?

At 350F, it will be between 25 and 30 minutes. Set it for 25 and check with a toothpick. You don’t want them to be overdone.

You should take any leftover red velvet cake you have and put it in an airtight container. Do not leave it on the counter! Put it in the fridge!

How Long Does Red Velvet Cake Last?

The Perfect Medium Steak Recipe

Megan Miller — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 10:07:31 +0000

The Perfect Medium Steak Temps, Cook Times, and Recipe

Steakhouse quality is yours at home any time you want it with this medium steak recipe. Medium steak temp is one of the most popular levels of doneness for a steak. It’s a little pink and juicy yet not done all the way, giving you the best of both worlds.

My family loves it when I make their steaks medium. They come out just right and if you blindfolded us, we’d never believe we were eating steaks cooked at home. This is how you make steak if you want it to taste like those big steakhouses do it!

Easy Pan Seared Steak Recipe

This luxurious meal is as easy as it gets to perfectly achieve the temperature for medium steak. Some people find steak hard to do with overcooking but with this medium steak recipe, you’ll hit the perfect medium steak temp every time.

Medium Steak Dinner Ingredients

New York strip steak – The best thickness for steaks is 1-inch. You can buy it at the supermarket or go to a butcher shop.
Butter – I use unsalted butter because I season the steaks heavily on both sides.
Garlic – Peel the cloves but keep them whole.
Fresh herbs – Rosemary, thyme, and sage add the perfect flavor.
Salt and black pepper – Season both sides of your steak liberally with these.
Oil – When I make my medium steaks, I use vegetable oil. Feel free to use whatever oil you have on-hand with a high smoking point though.

How do you Cook Pan Seared Steak Medium Temp?

After patting your steaks dry, season them with the salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat your cast iron skillet with your oil over medium-high, then pop the steaks in when the oil is hot.
Sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side and don’t forget the edges (about a minute on those).
Turn heat down to medium and add the butter, herbs, and garlic, spooning that sauce over the steaks until the internal temperature is 135F.
Remove from heat and cover for 10 minutes to let them rest and arrive at a perfect medium steak temperature of 145F.

Expert Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Steak Every Time

Put your steaks out first. Room temperature steaks will cook more evenly than if you put them in the pan cold.
Steaks shouldn’t be covered in all kinds of sauces and things. They should shine for those beefy flavors with simple additions, so buy quality meat.
Turn it up. Heat makes steaks taste amazing. That oil needs to be smoking hot when you put your steaks into the skillet.
Allow time for rest. Steaks continue cooking after they’ve been taken from the heat. When you let them rest, they stay juicy and rise to the perfect temp for medium steak.

What temp is medium?

For medium steaks, the ideal internal temperature is 135F.

How long do I cook a steak for medium?

A medium steak will take 4 minutes per side when you’re cooking it on the stovetop. Don’t forget to take a minute to sear the fatty sides too.

How long do you cook a 1-inch thick steak to medium?

The total cook time for a medium steak at 1-inch thickness will take about 8 minutes.

How do you grill a 1-inch steak to medium temp?

On your grill, you will need to cook the first side for 7 minutes and 3 minutes on the second side since it will cook faster on the second side while on the grill.

How to Cook Medium Steak in a Pan?

When you cook a steak to medium, the pan needs to be hot. Once it’s hot, you can cook the steaks on each side for 3 or 4 minutes.

How long does it take to cook a steak medium in a pan?

In a pan, you should spend a total of 8 minutes cooking your steak to medium temperature.

How to Cook Medium Steak in the Oven?

If you’d rather cook your med steak in the oven, set the temperature to 450F. You’ll start on the stove to sear, then move your cast iron skillet to the oven. Heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, then remove from the oven. They will be ready when they’re 135F internally.

How to cook steak in oven to medium?

At 450F, you will preheat your oven while searing the steaks briefly on the stove in a cast iron skillet. Move the skillet to the oven and cook each side 3 to 4 minutes before removing to let rest.

What goes well with Steak?

Think of all the sides you love from your favorite steakhouse and you can’t go wrong. Loaded baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, fresh Caesar salad, sauteed spinach or asparagus, creamed spinach, garlic mushrooms, corn on the cob, and dinner rolls are just some ideas.

How to Store Steak?

Classic Taco Soup Recipe

Megan Miller — Mon, 07 Feb 2022 07:31:15 +0000

Feeling like tacos but don’t want the messy hands that come with it? Try this taco soup recipe. It’s like the best of tacos meets chili for an amazing, hearty soup that everyone loves. My husband and kids always ask me to make extra so they can enjoy more the next day. While the weather is still a bit nippy, make it!

Best Taco Soup Recipe

Soups are such a great way to make a meal more filling. Especially when it’s cold out. It’s so much easier to sneak in nutrition. And it’s way better than any gross goo you get in a can. If you love tacos, you need this soup in your life, like right now!

Taco Soup Ingredients

Ground beef – Choose the lean variety.
Canned beans – You’ll need a can each of pinto beans and black beans. Rinse them off first too!
Yellow onion – Chop it up.
Jalapenos – You will chop these and seed them depending on the level of spice you like. With kids, I recommend keeping things more tame and adding more spice after if you desire.
Diced tomatoes – Choose the can with the green chiles in them.
Beef broth – For the soup base.
Tomato sauce – An 8-ounce can helps make this soup rich and delicious.
Frozen corn – The perfect addition!
Seasonings – You’ll need dried oregano, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cilantro – Use fresh and chop it.
Lime juice – Squeeze it yourself for the best taste.
Taco Soup toppings – One of the best parts! Grab everything you’d normally top your tacos with like shredded cheese, sour cream, guac or avocados! If you like a more creamy taco soup, my husband loves taco soup with ranch dressing instead of sour cream. Give it a try!

Easy Taco Soup Recipe

In just 15 minutes, you can prep this soup and get it simmering away. It takes less than an hour from there and you really don’t have to do much. If you prep in advance you could put it in your slow cooker, making it a great party soup to ladle out for everyone to enjoy.

How do you Make Taco Soup from Scratch?

Grab your Dutch oven or a large pot and get olive oil going over medium-high on the stove. Add the onions and ground beef until the beef is no longer pink. Now the jalapeno and garlic go in until fragrant, about a minute. Then add the tomatoes, beef stock, tomato sauce, and spices. Simmer for 30 minutes, taking time to stir on occasion. After 30 minutes, add the corn and beans and cook until heated thoroughly. Then add the cilantro and lime. Serve with your favorite toppings!

Expert Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Taco Soup Every Time

Yes, you can use turkey! If you want to make a lighter version of this soup, ground turkey works just as well.
Drain and rinse those beans. Canned beans can be salty too, so if your concern is too much sodium, buy them with no salt added. Then add salt to taste to ensure it doesn’t come out too salty.
Hate spicy? Keep it mild by omitting the jalapeno. If you like just a little hint, use only a little of it.

Taco soup is like duct tape, it fixes everything.
Megan

How do you thicken taco soup?

This taco soup recipe should be plenty thick with the tomato sauce. If that still hasn’t helped, you can balance it out with a cornstarch slurry.

What are the best toppings for Taco Soup?

The best toppings for taco soup are shredded cheese (cheddar or the Mexican blend is the best), chopped onion (you can use red or yellow), avocado, guacamole, sour cream, and tortilla strips.

What goes well with Taco Soup?

You can do all sorts of things like Mexican rice, chips and salsa or guac, a fresh salad, elotes or corn on the cob, refried beans, and grilled veggies.

How many calories are in taco soup?

It can vary, though in a proper bowl, it should be just under 200 calories per serving.

How to Store Taco Soup?

Once it cools, you’ll want to stow it in airtight containers in your fridge.

How long is taco soup good for?

Taco soup will keep in the fridge for one week and in your freezer for 6 months, as long as you store it in airtight vessels.

How Long Does Taco Soup Last?

Taco soup will keep for up to a week when you have it in your fridge. But if you’ve made too much, the freezer is the best place!

Can You Freeze Taco Soup?

I think taco soup is probably my favorite thing to freeze. It is so easy to pull out on a busy night to heat up for dinner. It’s always my ace in the hole. It will last about 6 months this way.

How to Reheat Taco Soup?

If it’s frozen, put it in the fridge overnight. Then just warm it up on the stove until everything has been heated through. Serve it with your favorite toppings!

Homemade Lemon Curd Recipe

Megan Miller — Sun, 06 Feb 2022 22:00:07 +0000

The last time I went to the supermarket with my kids who wanted EVERYTHING, they pointed out lemon curd. I started to reach for it and then thought better of it. Because this lemon curd recipe is so simple, so fresh, and so delicious, I definitely don’t need some pre-made store-bought gunk. When I make lemon curd, my husband and kids want to put it on everything. Make extra because it will go lightning-quick with the plethora of lemon curd uses!

Best Lemon Curd Recipe

Lemon curd is delicious, no doubt about it. But making it yourself is better than anything you’ve ever had. Trust me here, once you make it, you’ll find any excuse to make it again and again!

Lemon Curd Ingredients

Fresh lemon juice – Please squeeze it yourself from real lemons.
Lemon zest – Also, you’ll need real lemons so you can zest them
Granulated sugar – Brings out the sweetness.
Salt – Balances that sweetness.
Egg yolks – Helps give it that gorgeous texture.
Butter – Use unsalted and make sure it comes to room temperature first.

Easy Lemon Curd Recipe

Lemon curd is easy because it requires only a few simple ingredients. And it takes no time at all to prep and cook. The cooling time requires patience but it’s so worth it!

When life gives you lemons…make lemon curd!
Megan

How do you Make Lemon Curd from Scratch?

You want to place a saucepan of simmering water over medium/medium-low heat and put a heatproof bowl on top of that for a double-broiler effect.
Put the egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, zest, and salt into the heatproof bowl, whisking until thoroughly blended.
Keep whisking constantly to keep the yolks from curdling, until the mixture thickens and is like hollandaise sauce in consistency, roughly 10 to 12 minutes.
Then take it from the heat.
Cut the butter into pieces and whisk it into your lemon curd, then pour it into a glass jar or bowl, add plastic wrap that touches the curd on top and let it cool completely before serving.

Expert Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Lemon Curd Every Time

Just keep whisking. This keeps it creamy and prevents the eggs from turning curdy.
Avoid boiling. It’s so important to be vigilant here or you’ll have curdled curd which is no good.
Be patient. Think of it as an arm workout, but your persistence in whisking until it thickens properly will pay off.
See if you need more sugar. Depending on your lemons, your curd may be too tart for your tastes. You can adjust with more sugar if desired.

What is lemon curd made of?

Lemon curd is made of fresh lemon juice and zest, granulated sugar, egg yolks, butter, and salt.

Is lemon curd the same as lemon jam?

No, it’s different because jams and jellies are made by cooking down the whole fruits with sugar while curd is made just with the juices of the fruit plus egg yolks.

Can you buy lemon curd at the grocery store?

Of course you can buy it at the store! However, it is easy to make at home and tastes better because you’re making it without preservatives.

What can I substitute for lemon curd?

Lemon pie filling can be subbed in for lemon curd in a recipe. But if you have the ingredients to make lemon curd, I recommend making it.

How to Cook Lemon Curd?

Lemon curd is cooked on the stovetop using a double-broiler method.

Can I mix egg yolk with curd?

Egg yolks are what you use to make lemon curd, so yes, mix them well and keep whisking them to avoid them curdling.

Why is my lemon curd not thickening?

You may not have cooked it long enough. It takes patience to do this and you should also make sure the temperature is medium too to be hot enough to cook it. Doing this should thicken it up. Plus, it thickens as it cools.

How do I make lemon curd set?

Lemon curd needs to cool properly. At that point, it will set beautifully.

What goes well with Lemon Curd?

There are many wonderful lemon curd uses. Lemon curd is amazing with crepes, pancakes, muffins, in pastries, for lemon bars, in breakfast breads, and other breakfast and dessert formats too.

How to Store Lemon Curd?

Lemon curd will need to be refrigerated. You should keep it in an airtight container to prevent spoiling.

How long does lemon curd last?

In the fridge, lemon curd can keep for up to 4 weeks. If you want to keep it longer, the freezer is best.

Can you freeze lemon curd?

Yes, and the best part? You can freeze it for up to a year. I had a nice stash going for a while until I did some baking recently. Now I will need to make more!

How to Reheat Lemon Curd?

I don’t recommend reheating it but you can let it thaw in your fridge overnight if frozen and then it will be the right consistency for use. If you’d like it less chilled, you can let it sit out at room temperature for 15 minutes before spreading it on toast or whatever you like.

Homemade Funnel Cake Recipe

Megan Miller — Sun, 06 Feb 2022 06:51:34 +0000

The last time the county fair came through, my husband and I took the kids. We couldn’t resist the funnel cakes, or really anything else.

You had me at funnel cake.
Megan

How do you Make Funnel Cake from Scratch?

Grab a large mixing bowl and whisk the wet ingredients.
Then add in all the dry ingredients except the flour, whisking until combined.
Next, add the flour and whisk until it’s completely smooth. Pour the batter into a large liquid measuring cup, then pour it into a plastic squirt bottle and put the cap on.
You’ll heat an inch of vegetable oil in a pot or deep skillet so it reaches 375F. Then drizzle the batter from the squirt bottle in a continuous thin line, swirling around the pan and overlapping.
Cook it for 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Then dust with powdered sugar and top with whipped cream and strawberries, serving immediately while it’s hot.

Expert Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Funnel Cake Every Time

Make sure the oil is hot enough. When it’s not, the homemade funnel cake won’t form the way it should.
Make sure it’s deep enough too. Without enough oil, you won’t have the desired effect. This isn’t the place to be stingy with oil.
You can use a piping bag. If you don’t have a plastic squirt bottle, a piping bag will do.
Feel free to be creative with toppings. While powdered sugar is a must, you don’t have to do whipped cream and strawberries. You could do blueberries or even chocolate chips.

Is funnel cake made from pancake batter?

No, but you can make funnel cake with pancake mix by adding a few simple tweaks, namely adding sugar, vanilla, and water.

No, though it is similar. Funnel cake batter has more vanilla, more sugar, and more water to thin out the consistency.

What oil is best for funnel cake?

Vegetable oil works best for funnel cake as it fries it up golden and doesn’t impart any weird flavor to your funnel cake.

How do you pour a funnel cake?

Funnel cake needs to be squirted out in a stream. A plastic squeeze bottle makes this super-simple to do.

How do you make an easy funnel?

You can use a plastic bottle. Just cut it in half and voila! You’ve got a funnel!

How do you make funnel cakes without a funnel?

I use a plastic squirt bottle but you can also use a piping bag or even a plastic zipper bag with a corner cut off so you can squirt the batter into the oil.

How to Cook Funnel Cake

Funnel cake is cooked on the stovetop in a deep skillet or pot with a good amount of oil.

How do you make funnel cakes crispy?

The oil has to be just right. Find that sweet spot at 375F and you will get those crispy funnel cakes!

Why is my funnel cake falling apart?

While it’s not good to have the oil not get hot enough, having it too hot can make your funnel cake fall apart. It should be 375F when it’s ready for you to add the batter.

What are the best toppings for Funnel Cake?

When it comes to the best funnel cake toppings, I recommend powdered sugar, strawberries and whipped cream, but you can have at it the way you like. Chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, your favorite fruit, cinnamon sugar, sprinkles, or even maple syrup will be great toppings.

What goes well with Funnel Cake?

Um, how about more funnel cake? Ha! I know, but with funnel cakes, the best things are fruits to add a fresh sweetness as well as whipped cream for more indulgence.

How Long Does Funnel Cake Last?

At room temperature, you’ll want to make sure you polish off the last funnel cake before 2 days elapse.

Can You Freeze Funnel Cake?

Yes, you can! They’ll do best if you wrap them in wax paper first before wrapping them all up.

Megan Miller — Wed, 26 Jan 2022 05:46:12 +0000

Want more regal-looking sugar cookies? This royal icing recipe will help you take your sugar cookie icing to the next level. It’s great for any holiday baking any time of year from Christmas to Valentine’s Day to St. Patrick’s Day and beyond.

Easy Royal Icing Recipe

Royal icing looks so picture-perfect and glossy, so I know you’ll have a hard time believing me when I say that those 5 simple ingredients above only take 7 minutes total to make this easy icing recipe. Seriously. Try it if you don’t believe me. This simple icing recipe is one that the kids love to help with!

What is royal icing made of?

Powdered sugar – The basis for this icing’s sweetness.
Meringue powder – This is used instead of eggs to achieve that glossy sheen while being safe from salmonella. A staple for making royal icing with meringue powder.
Water – To help get the consistency just right.
Vanilla extract – For that signature flavor.

Megan

Expert Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Sugar Cookie Icing Recipe

Choose your consistency. Royal icing can be made to have different types of consistency. Medium-stiff is best for piping detailing on while flood is thinner, ideal for filling the base.
Add the water slowly when thinning. After you beat the ingredients of your sugar cookie frosting recipe together, you can adjust the consistency as needed by slowly adding in more water.
Always let flood icing dry first. If you’re using it as a base, it will smear and become messy if you don’t let it set before you add your details.
Decorate as you wish! When making royal icing for sugar cookies, you don’t need to perfectly pipe intricate details on if you’re a beginner. Start with a flood base and sprinkles and work your way up. It takes practice to make them like a bakery does!
No corn syrup. I always prefer to make sugar cookie icing without corn syrup.
