Red Velvet Cream Cheese Bundt Cake



This rich, velvety red velvet Bundt cake with sweet cream cheese filling swirled throughout and cream cheese frosting on top is the ideal recipe to make when you want to say, "I LOVE YOU."

The name "red velvet cake" is quite lovely. This cake is always sold on Valentine's Day because it looks like it matches the flame-like red rips. I had this dessert for the first time on the day of my relative's engagement. I uttered "WOW" after the first taste. To me, this cake ought to be offered year-round, not just on Valentine's Day. If it contains a spoonful of love and happiness, it can be prepared at any time.

If the elegance of macaroons is the reason for its capture of the heart, then the red velvet cake is the essence of returning to the food, giving you a beautiful taste. Unlike other cakes, the red velvet cake has a very low density and delicate as velvet.

The traditional velvet cake is exceptionally buttery. However, I'm not using butter; I'm using cooking oil. The best thing about using oil is that I can store this cake in the refrigerator, especially since it contains cream cheese in it.  And I can just take the cake out of the fridge and serve it right away. It is a little cold, but it is still nice and soft. Of course, you can serve immediately, and store the leftovers in the refrigerator.

If you look beyond the striking appearance of a Red Velvet Cake, you will find that it has a very mild chocolate flavour (it contains just 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. This cake's exceptionally moist and soft crumb comes from the use of buttermilk. Buttermilk has a rich, tangy, and buttery flavour along with a thick, creamy texture. You can use yoghurt or sour cream as a substitute if buttermilk is not readily available. You can make a good substitute for commercial buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup (240ml) of milk and letting this mixture sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before using.

The "Velvet" in this cake, which is both visually appealing and unexpected on the inside, is truly deserving of its lovely name.

Sweet Potato Egg Tart

When come to egg tart, everyone might mention about the flaky pastry, filled with a smooth, lightly sweetened egg custard. What about giving it a twist for today? Instead of buttery flaky pastry, we switch to use sweet potatoes, raw oats and glutinous flour to make the tart base. This sweet potato egg tarts are high in fiber and delicious. And it requires no cooking skills. After baking, the oatmeal sweet potato crust is soft with naturally sweet and chewy, paired with smooth egg tart fillings. Oh my god! It smells so good. Every time it’s fresh out of the air fryer, the entire family gathers around, eager to grab a slice. The water content of the tart crust is very important. I am using orange sweet potatoes, which contain a lot of water after steaming. Perhaps yellow and purple sweet potatoes would be easier to shape. You can also use instant oats, which have good water absorption. For this recipe, I use cup cake liner as mold. I baked it with an air fryer to cut down on time...

Fried Taro Puff Dumplings (Woo KOK 芋角)

Taro puff dumplings or Woo Kok ( 芋角 ) are another must-eat snack when you go to a restaurant. The outside is honeycomb-shaped, and the inside is soft and smooth. Even if you go to a restaurant to eat, not every restaurant makes them crispy. And for that reason, I decided to learn how to make this snack. Someone once told me, because of the complicated workmanship, it is difficult to make at home. She advised me not to spend effort on it. If you know me well, I always like to challenge my limits. Today, I will show you how to make them! The fillings of taro dumplings must contain pork, dried shrimps, and mushrooms! The filling can be prepared one day ahead. The dumpling skin is made of taro paste. I am using Areca taro ( 槟榔芋 ). It has a tough, brown exterior with an interior that is white/beige in color with purple flecks. The ideal taro for this recipe will be more mature and starchier. The hardest and most tiresome step of the entire process is frying Woo Kok. A crispy crust w...

Steamed Spareribs With Sand Ginger （沙姜蒸排骨）

Steamed spareribs with sand ginger is a delicious Cantonese dish. The main ingredients are spareribs and sand ginger. Sand ginger, also known as galangal, is a spicy spice that adds a unique flavor to this dish. It is one of four types of galangals, a rhizome in the ginger family. Fresh sand ginger is paler in color on the inside and woodier and coarser in texture than standard ginger. As a result, it is more difficult to peel and grate.  So, I just cleaned it with a tiny brush and chopped it with the skin. Fresh sand ginger might not be available at other places, so they will powder form instead. When dried, the flavor becomes a little less intense. I love how the fresh sand ginger tastes when combined with other spices or ingredients to create the sauce for meat. Apart from the ribs, I also add glass noodles and yuba or dried tofu skin. The ribs, glass noodles and dried tofu skin absorb all the sauce, enhanced by the flavor of sand ginger and oyster sauce. You can use san...
