red velvet cup cakes

Red Velvet Cake: The Complete Magnolia Bakery Cookbook - Allysa Torey & Jennifer Appel

Ingredients: Makes one 3-layer 9-inch cake, so for cupcakes you better halve this recipe.
- 3 ⅓ cups cake flour (not self-rising)
- ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ¼ cups sugar
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 6 tablespoons red food coloring
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- 1 ½ teaspoons cider vinegar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease and lightly flour three 9 x 2-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with waxed paper. Or line 2 cupcake pans with cupcake liners.
- In a small bowl, sift the cake flour and set aside. In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the red food coloring, cocoa, and vanilla. Add to the batter and beat well.
- In a measuring cup, stir the salt into the buttermilk. Add to the batter in three parts, alternating with the flour. With each addition, beat until the ingredients are incorporated, but do not overheat.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cider vinegar and baking soda. Add to the batter and mix well. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the batter in the bowl, making sure the ingredients are well blended and the batter is smooth.
- Divide the batter among the prepared pans. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the layers cool in the pans for 1 hour. Remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
- For cupcakes: fill the cupcake liners three-quarters full and bake the cupcakes for 20 - 25 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them on a wire rack to cool completely.



Vanilla Buttercream Frosting: The Complete Magnolia Bakery Cookbook - Allysa Torey & Jennifer Appel

Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 to 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
- Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add 2 cups of the sugar and then the milk and vanilla. On the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes. Gradually add the remaining sugar, ½ cup at a time, beating well after each addition (about 2 minutes), until the icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency. You may not need to add all of the sugar. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix thoroughly

gum paste

4 Large Egg Whites
2 lb bag 10x powdered sugar
12 Level teaspoons Tylose
4 Tsp vegetable shortening
Cooking Instructions
1. Place the egg whites in a Kitchen Aid mixer bowl fitted with the flat paddle. 2. Turn the mixer on high speed for 10 seconds to break up the egg whites. 3. Reserve 1 cup of the powdered sugar and set aside. 4. Turn the mixer to the lowest speed and slowly add the remaining sugar. This will make a soft consistency royal icing. 5. Turn up the speed to setting 3 or 4 for about 2 minutes. During this time measure off the tylose into a small container. 6. Make sure the mixture is at the soft peak stage. It should look shiny, like meringue and the peaks fall over. (If coloring the entire batch, add the paste color at this stage, making it a shade darker than the desired color.) 7. Turn the mixer to the slow setting and sprinkle the tylose in over a five second time period. Next, turn the speed up to the high setting for a few seconds. (This will thicken the mixture. 8. Scrape the mixture out of the bowl onto a work surface that has been sprinkled with some of the reserved 1 cup of powdered sugar. Place the shortening on your hands and knead the paste, adding enough of the reserved powdered sugar to form a soft but not sticky dough. You can check by pinching with your fingers and they should come away clean. Place the finished paste in a zip-top bag, then place the bagged paste in a second bag and seal well. 9. Place in the refrigerator for 24 hours if possible before using to mature the paste. 10. Before use, remove from refrigerator and allow the paste to come to room temperature. Take a small amount of shortening on the end of your finger and knead this into the paste. If you are coloring the paste, add the paste color at this stage. 11. Always store the paste in the zip-top bags and return to the refrigerator when you are not using the paste. Will keep under refrigeration for approximately 6 months. You can keep the paste longer by freezing. Be sure to use zip-top freezer bags. If you will be freezing a batch of paste, allow it to mature for 24 hours in the refrigerator first before placing into the freezer
