My RED Velvet Cake

I am making this Red Velvet Cake for my grandpa's birthday. I have never made this cake before so I had to make one before his birthday, so I couldn't totally mess it up. This is my first layered cake that didn't look like crap. :) If I say so myself, It turned out really well. :)







Red Velvet Cake
Makes one 9-inch layer cake
Ingredients: 
2 1/2 cups White Lily self-rising flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 
1 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 tablespoons red food coloring ( I used 1 whole bottle of red food coloring)


Directions:
 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray three 9-by-2-inch round cake pans with cooking spray, and line with wax paper. Set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together flour and baking soda. Set aside. 
 2. In a medium bowl, combine sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vinegar, and vanilla. With an electric mixer, beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add flour mixture, and mix on low speed just until flour has been incorporated. Slowly add buttermilk. Add food coloring, and beat to combine.
 3. Divide batter among pans; each pan will be about half full. Tap pans on counter to remove bubbles. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove the pans to a rack to cool for 5 minutes. Invert pans onto wire racks sprayed with vegetable oil to cool cake completely, or quick-chill in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.
 4. To assemble, place one layer, top side down, on a cake stand. Using an offset spatula, spread with 1/4 inch of frosting. Repeat with remaining layers. To frost the top and sides of the cake, work from the center toward and over the edge, making sure to evenly coat. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.


Pecan Cream Cheese Frosting
 makes 6 cups

Ingredents: 
8 oz. cream cheese, room temp.
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temp.
1 pound confectioners sugar, sifted
1 cup finely chopped pecans 
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


Directions:
 1. Place cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl. With a handheld electric mixer, beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add sugar, pecans, and vanilla. Beat, on low speed to combine. If too soft, chill until slightly stiff, about 10 minutes, before using.

Heavenly Filled Strawberries

I found this amazing recipe, called Heavenly Filled Strawberries. Our whole family loves strawberries, especially my mom. So I made them this afternoon. They are a very elegant dish. Here is the recipe. I didn't have grated chocolate, but I did have leftover chocolate chips, so I melted them and made that my little garnish. I also didn't put chocolate on all of them.This recipe is a very very simple, easy and enjoyable treat for everyone.

Christmas in Providence.

Sorry the post is a little late... I haven't had time to sit down and write...Till now :)

Well I Woke up yesterday and it seemed like Santa forgot where we lived. :) Or we didn't deserve anything, so he just didn't bother. We had a good christmas, even though it didn't seem like it was Christmas. There was snow on the ground, but it didn't snow on christmas. The snow was there from last week.

I baked Snickerdoodle cookies, and made mash potatoes for Christmas dinner upstairs. We had Roast, Ham, Green beans, carrots, potatoes, rolls, salad, pie and cookies. I have some pics, but i will have to post those later. Hannah and Sarah are in Denver right now, and they weren't here for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and they won't be here for New Years Eve, so when they get back, even though it won't be new years, we are going to have are own little party. So that should be fun. They've been gone for awhile, so it will be good to see them.

Well I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and have a happy New Year.
