Ingredients:

  • 5 pounds boneless chuck roast
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 1/2 cups dry red wine
  • 1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth (divided)
  • 3 large fresh thyme sprigs
  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

Directions:

  1. Begin by preheating your oven. Prepare your vegetables by trimming the fennel bulbs, chopping the onion, slicing the carrots, and finely chopping the garlic. Set aside.
  2. Trim any large fat portions from the chuck roast and cut it into 3-4 inch pieces. Pat them dry and season with salt and pepper. Coat them evenly with flour.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot. Sear the beef pieces until they’re browned on all sides, then transfer them to a plate.
  4. In the same pot, sauté the fennel, onion, and carrots until tender. Add garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and let it darken.
  5. Pour in the wine and 1 cup of beef broth, ensuring you scrape up the brown bits from the pot’s bottom. Add the mushrooms and mix well.
  6. Return the beef to the pot, ensuring they’re not fully submerged in the liquid. Add thyme and bay leaves.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and transfer to the oven. Let it cook until the beef is tender and can be easily pricked with a fork, which should take about 2.5 to 3 hours.

Notes/Conclusion:

  • Braising Explained: Braising is a culinary technique where tough cuts of meat are gently cooked in liquid, transforming them into succulent and tender delights. The beauty of braising lies in the magic it weaves over hours, turning a simple beef cut into a melt-in-the-mouth experience.
  • Serving Suggestions: This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or polenta. Enhance the meal by enjoying the leftover wine by the fireplace.
  • Storage and Make Ahead: If you’ve made more than you can eat, don’t worry. The braised beef stores well. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or even frozen for 3 months. You can also prepare it the night before, making dinner plans a breeze.

The allure of the Red Velvet Cake is undeniable. With its rich, velvety texture and eye-catching hue, it’s a dessert that captures hearts and tantalizes taste buds. Today, we present a recipe that encapsulates the essence of this iconic cake. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a newbie in the kitchen, this recipe is sure to impress. Don’t forget to share this delightful creation with friends and family!

Ingredients for the Cake:

  • Cooking spray (for greasing the pans)
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup canola or other neutral oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 (1-ounce) bottle red food coloring
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions:

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing two round cake pans with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Using a stand mixer, beat the granulated sugar and oil at medium speed until smoothly blended.
  4. Introduce the eggs one by one, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next. Following this, mix in the red food coloring and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with pours of buttermilk until the batter is smooth.
  6. In a separate bowl, create a fizzy reaction by combining the baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Stir this mixture into your batter, ensuring it’s well incorporated.
  7. Pour the batter evenly between the two cake pans. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cakes begin to pull away from the pan’s sides and bounce back when touched gently.
  8. Once done, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 15 minutes. Then transfer them onto a wire cooling rack, inverting the pans to remove the cakes. Ensure they are completely cool before moving on to the frosting stage.

Notes/Conclusion:

  • What Makes it ‘Red Velvet’? Without its iconic color, Red Velvet Cake is essentially a cocoa cake with a hint of tang. The ‘velvet’ descriptor refers to its soft, smooth texture.
  • Storage Tips: If you’ve baked the cake but aren’t frosting it immediately, wrap the cooled cake in plastic and store in the fridge for up to a day. Once frosted, the cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to reach room temperature before serving.
  • Planning Ahead: If you’re prepping for an event, the Red Velvet Cake can be baked and stored in the fridge (wrapped tightly) for up to 3 days. Alternatively, you can freeze it for up to 3 months, letting it thaw at room temperature for an hour before frosting.

written by recipesinfamily

This is a fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth yellow cake that can be paired with a variety of frostings, be it rich chocolate or classic vanilla buttercream. It’s not just the simplicity of making this cake that stands out, but also its delectable taste. Perfect for those spur-of-the-moment baking urges, this yellow cake will soon become your go-to recipe. From birthdays to casual get-togethers, it’s sure to be a hit. And remember, the secret to its vibrant yellow color lies in the butter and egg yolks, so choose a naturally yellow butter for the best results.

Ingredients:

  • 2 ¼ cups (270g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (35g) cornstarch
  • 1 1/4 cup (250g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter at room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60mL) vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs at room temperature, Large
  • 2 yolks
  • 1 tbsp (15mL) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240mL) buttermilk

Directions:

Start by preparing three 6-inch round cake tins. Butter them thoroughly and dust with flour or simply use baking spray.

In a sizable bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients to ensure they’re well combined.

The magic of the yellow cake is primarily due to the butter and egg yolks. Therefore, in a mixing bowl, start by creaming half a cup of butter. As it gets creamier, gradually add the granulated white sugar. Continue mixing until the mixture is light and has a fluffy texture. To this, add a tablespoon of vanilla extract.

Now, it’s time for the eggs. Crack in three whole eggs and two additional yolks, but add them one by one, mixing at a medium speed after each addition. This step ensures a rich yellow texture for your batter.

For that soft and tender crumb, pour in a quarter cup of vegetable oil. Mix well.

Now, alternate between adding the dry ingredient mixture and the buttermilk to the wet ingredients. Do this in three portions, ensuring you mix on low speed. Remember, the key is to combine everything without overmixing.

Once your batter is ready, distribute it evenly among the prepared cake tins.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cake tins in the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes. A good indicator that your cakes are done is when the center feels springy to the touch and the edges start to pull away from the tin.

Once baked, invert the cakes onto a wire rack, allowing them to cool completely.

When the cakes have cooled, they are ready to be frosted. You can choose any frosting you prefer, but if you’re in the mood for chocolate. Layer your cakes, frost them, and they’re ready to be served. Enjoy every bite!

Conclusion:

Congratulations on mastering the art of the perfect Yellow Cake! This cake is more than just a treat; it’s a memory waiting to be shared. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a sweet craving, this cake promises to be the highlight. So, why keep this joy to yourself? Share this recipe, spread happiness, and let’s make the world a more delicious place, one Yellow Cake at a time.
