RED VELVET CAKE RECIPE
Ingredients
2 ¼ cups cake flour (280 grams)
1 1/2cup sugar (300 grams)
1 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
260g butter,

2 eggs (100 grams)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder
2 tablespoons red food coloring
1 tablespoon vinegar,
1 cup buttermilk

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans. For a taller cake you may use 8 inch round pans, but the bake time will need to be increased slightly because the cake will be deeper.
Thoroughly mix the flours, baking soda and salt together and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand held electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy; and add sugar and beat for another minute, scraping sides of the bowl.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed for 30 seconds after each egg is added, then increase speed and beat on high for another minute. Beat in the vanilla.
Stir in the cocoa powder and red food coloring, then beat with the mixer until blended and smooth. Beat in the vinegar.
Using a heavy duty scraper, stir the flour and the buttermilk into the red mixture, alternating between the two (flour, milk, flour, milk, flour). Beat about 30 strokes with the scraper or until there are no lumps of flour and mixture is smooth and red. If batter is lumpy, beat with the electric mixer for no longer than 30 seconds -- don't overdo it or you'll build up the gluten too much.
Spread evenly in pans and bake for 25 minutes (30 minutes for the 8 inch pans) or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack 10 minutes. Invert onto a cooling rack and let cool completely.

HOW TO BAKE CAKE WITHOUT OVEN

Ingredients
2 cups of all purpose flour
5 drops of vanilla essence
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 cup of water
2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
1 cup of condensed milk
4 tablespoons of melted butter

Method

THE STORY I SHARED ABOUT MY MENTOR THAT MOTIVATES ANY INTENDING OR ALREADY BAKER ANYTIME, ANYDAY🥰

Hello Sweet Bakers👩‍🍳

Happy Tuesday,

How are you doing today, trust fine. I wish you the best in your endeavors and it is always my pleasure to give value to you.

When you joined my page, I promise to share anything valuable that goes around the Cake Making Business.

Here is a short story I am telling you about my mentor today. Read on!

You might not know my mentor but let me give you a brief introduction of who she is. Her name is Kwaghdoo Enyi, I call her Kay and others too do so for a short. She is an avid baker and an entrepreneur. She lives and work in Abuja, Capital Of Nigeria. She is a wife and a mum of 3.

She grew her cake business Kay's Pastries to 7 figures per month outfit with over 10 full time staffs, but many may not know it started at about 30 years ago.

While growing up, her mum ( Most Blessed Memory) was a thorough bred educationist. In the 1980s to the early 90s who was the principal of one of the biggest Catholic Secondary Schools, Queens of the Rosary Secondary School Gboki, Benue State, Nigeria.

This was at a period where there were foreign missionaries, Reverend Fathers, Indians and Ghanians in many Nigerian Schools.

She studied at one of the unity schools and on one faithful holiday while in her JSS class, She went with her Mom to visit some Irish sisters and they were offered cup cakes.

She had never tasted cake so yummy, soft and fluffy. It was simply amazing and She left there with thinking of how to bake such yummy cakes.

She could not stop thinking and talking about baking until her mom got her Home Economics teacher to tutor her. Her experience with Mrs. Ogah was her first close contact with baking, She will always get involved and play small roles like breaking eggs, measuring sugar and beating batter.

She says, "She still remember with nostalgia all the cakes She was trying her hands on back then. (is now convinced that her early contact with cakes is where She picked a sweet tooth from…Lol"

She began to bake at home what She was learning from Mrs Ogah, some times She would bake for family, friends and get paid but nothing serious as per running a proper cake business. The cakes She was baking at this time were all un-iced cakes.

Secondary school over and She was living in Makurdi at the time waiting for her admission and next step forward. Then came her 18th birthday and She was feeling like some Disney princess. She had such long hair back then..Lol

Her big sis who knew She was a cake addict surprised her with a beautifully decorated cake all the way from Abuja. Her excitement was heightened and her mood elated but alas, on cutting the cake after singing a sweet birthday song, it was horrible on the inside, tasteless, poorly done and going bad.

It was such an anticlimax, in her disappointment, She resolved to ensure no one goes through such embarrassment on their special day and her idea for Kay’s Pastries was born.

While in the university studying Economics, her dad bought her an oven and She started baking birthday cakes regularly for students. She was making some cool money from baking and She wasn’t thinking of a job after She graduated, got married and moved to Abuja around 2004.

She was baking from home with no staff back then, She lived in the center of the city and it was easy for most of her customers to come pick up their cakes.

It was during this time She formally registered Kay’s Pastries with CAC, She was operating from home until some envious neighbors reported her to AMAC officials as a business operating in a residence.

AMAC is a local council in Abuja with task force members who enforce such, it’s either you bribe them which you will continue to do OR you quit.

She had to quit home and moved to a commercial complex to set up her first cake shop and employ staff officially. She moved her business from her residence to a shop within 48 hours under a very tensed condition.

Now She is glad because her business is set up with one mission, at Kay’s Pastries they don’t sell “off the shelf” cakes.



Her cakes are only baked in order to ensure each customer gets not only a personalized designed cake but also experience the delight of being treated to a freshly baked cake with every single purchase.

Baking cakes and creating beautiful memories for her clients on their special occasion have become a huge part of her life.

THE END, Lol.

I hope this story motivates you to do more and push your baking career to the peak. The sky isn't your limit, It is your stepping stone🙌🙌

Cheers to your baking success👩‍🍳

How to make your cake flower at home with the all purpose flour.

Step 1: Measure 1 cup all-purpose flour. Remove 2 Tablespoons.

Step 2: Measure 2 Tablespoons cornstarch. Add to the flour. Cornstarch contains less gluten than flour, so it’s a wonderful tenderizing ingredient to help make cake flour.

Step 3: Sift together thrice. Basically, sift into a mixing bowl once. Then run it through the sifter two more time.
Sifting not only mixes the two ingredients together appropriately, it aerates the mixture so the consistency is similar to real cake flour.

𝐃𝐈𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐋-𝐏𝐔𝐑𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐑.

✨ 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗹𝗹-𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗿 ?

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 😊
All-purpose flour, also known as AP flour, is a mild-flavored white flour made from the endosperm of hard and soft wheat varieties. During the AP flour milling process, two wheat kernel components, bran and germ, are separated from the endosperm.

You can use this type of flour in various sweet and savory applications, including layer cakes, chocolate chip cookies, muffins, quick breads, and gooey brownies, and making buttery crusts for chicken pot pie, dredging fish for frying, and thickening rich sauces and gravies.

Cake flour is made from varieties of soft wheat often soft red winter wheat—and has a low protein content (about six percent).
Cake flour is ground extra-fine, which results in a lighter, loosely-structured crumb and fluffy texture.

Cake flour is ideal for baked goods with a tender texture due its low gluten content, which makes it easier to achieve lighter, tender textures when baking delicate sponges, cupcakes, muffins, and pastries.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥-𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫:

𝟏) 𝐓𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄
The particle size, or granularity, of milled flour determines the flour’s ability to absorb water. The finer the particle, the greater its rate of absorption.

Cake flour is ground extra fine, resulting in a particularly moist, tender crumb.

Conversely, the texture of AP flour largely depends on whether it undergoes the bleaching process, which can soften the texture.

Bleached AP flour has a finer, softer texture, while its unbleached counterpart has a tougher and denser texture.

𝟐) 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐈𝐍
Cake flour comes from soft wheat. This flour type has lower protein content and less gluten than AP flour, yielding a more delicate treat.

All-purpose flour is made from a blend of soft and hard wheat, with 10 percent protein content, and work best for baked goods with denser textures.

𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour for cake flour when a cake recipe calls for it.

> When substituting a cup of all-purpose flour for a cup of cake flour, remove two tablespoons of AP flour and replace it with two tablespoons of cornstarch, which will prevent the formation of gluten to a similar effect.

Sifting all-purpose flour will also help lend a more
