Red Velvet Cake Recipe
12/26/2023 | Tommy Revolts

Posted on 12/26/2023 1:09:13 PM PST by Tommy Revolts

We made our (famous) Red Velvet Cake for Christmas Dessert. My wife did the hard work.

Now everybody wants the recipe and I refuse to give it up.

I have even offered to make them one, but I'm not giving up the recipe.

Am I wrong? My wife thinks I'm being a bit selfish.

No, I have not shared the recipe. I shared the Red Velvet Cake that we made from my recipe.

So two recipes - the original and the “your recipe”? You won’t share the first but you shared yours? Still weird.

Ermine frosting, aka cooked flour frosting? That’s what my mother used on her red velvet cakes, and she swore she had the original recipe! She would never share either, lol.

I knew some New York suburban women one had a salad dressing the other a lasagna recipe
Their own recipes. No way were they giving those out. No.

The one with the salad dressing did show me how to make lasagna so…

No, you are not selfish. There are recipes I hold close, and others I share freely.

One such recipe I’ve shared is the best pancake recipe ever.

One which I have NOT is for my Italian Chocolate Espresso Cheesecake.

IMHO:

Let them eat cake...at your house.

(fyi, my own red velvet recipe is pretty darned good, too)

My wife’s grandmother had the best snickerdoodle cookie recipe I ever tasted. My kids called her Grandma Cookie. She used Parkay margarine & for the life of me I could never recreate because they always fell. I wish I had worked with her on a batch because she never measured anything. I’ve since modified the recipe and have had my wife’s cousins and family state its the closest that they’ve tasted but it bothers me because I can’t replicate it using Parkay.

My MIL said it could be using a wooden vs. steel spoon, farm fresh eggs etc. but have tried them all with no luck. One thing that did make a big difference was mixing the dry ingredients separately and well before folding in the mixed eggs, fat etc.

I got a new mixer for Christmas. Looking for recipe to test it out. Send me your red velvet one as I don't do cakes. It will be good test for both. Thanks

When I was a kid and my friends wanted to “borrow” my bicycle I always snuck a few parts off the brakes before I loaned it out. We had a lot of hills in the neighborhood. Did the same thing in the Winter with my Flexible Flyer snow sled. More or less.
.......................................

LOL!!!!
Did anyone ever figure it out?

Glad to hear it. We all have heirloom recipes in the family. Ours is chocolate chip cookies. They just taste better for whatever reason.
