“You're only human.
You live once
and life is wonderful
so eat the damn red velvet cupcake!”
― Emma Stone
Red velvet cupcakes are very popular in America, and because I have heard of them many times, I wanted to try to bake them myself. I baked them in February, so this post was waiting for quite some time in my computer folder. These cupcakes are otherwise no different from chocolate cupcakes because the only difference is in the red coloring. They are very good, because they are really moist, plus the frosting doesn't contain a lot of butter (I don't like butter cream frostings), but it does contain a lot of powdered sugar. I gave less sugar than is indicated in the recipe and the frosting was nevertheless very sweet, this didn't bother me personally but some don't have such a sweet taste, like me. Add sugar gradually and every so often test it, if it is still necessary to add more. With love, Neja |
Red velvet cupcakes so v Ameriki zelo popularne in zato, ker sem tolikokrat slišala za njih, sem jih želela poskusiti. Spekla sem jih februarja, torej je tale objava kar nekaj časa čakala v računalniški mapi. Te mini tortice niso drugače nič drugačne od čokoladnih, ker je edina razlika samo v rdeči barvi. So pa zelo dobre, ker je biskvit res sočen, frosting ne vsebuje veliko masla (ne maram butter cream frostingov), res pa je, da vsebuje veliko sladkorja v prahu. Sama sem dala manj sladkorja, kot ga je navedeno v receptu in frosting je bil kljub temu zelo sladek, ker mene osebno ne moti ampak nekateri nimajo tako sladkega okusa, kot jaz. Najboljše bo, če boste sladkor postopoma dodajali in vsake toliko testirali, če je sploh še potrebno, da ga dodate več. Z ljubeznijo, Neja |
