Red Velvet cake recipe: 2 1/2 cup (250g) superfine flour (Normal flour will work just fine tho) 10g cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, at room temperature (You can also use salted butter if you want. Then you don't have to add in salt.) 200g granulated white sugar (Also known as castor / caster sugar. Same thing.) 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk (You can use the ready made ones or make your own. I've provided the recipe to make them below) 2 tablespoon red colouring (Or purple or blue or green colouring. Whatever you want. Haha.) 1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder (This is not necessary but if you like your cake all fluffy you can add this. Works just fine. I've tried.) *Buttermilk recipe*

1 tablespoon lemon juice OR white distilled vinegar (Lemon juice is better tho) 1 cup (240ml) milk. Mix them together and set aside. Do this first before preparing the other ingredients because it has to stand for about at least 15 minutes.

Baking Instructions:

- Heat up oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C or 130 degrees C if your oven is small) - Butter the side of your cake pan and place parchment paper at the bottom. Set aside. If you're using non stick pan all this is not necessary. - Sift flour, cocoa powder and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.

- With electric or hand mixer, beat butter until soft (1 - 2 mins approx.) - Add in sugar and beat until fluffy (2 - 3 mins approx.) - Add eggs, ONE AT A TIME (Let the eggs mix before adding the next one). Scrape the side of bowl to make sure all mixture are mixed completely. - Add in vanilla extract and beat until combined. (While that is mixing, add red colouring to the buttermilk). - With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. - In a small cup combine the vinegar and baking soda. Allow the mixture to fizz and then quickly fold into the cake batter (Dont use a mixer to do this. Mix manually). - Add the batter in the cake pan (or cupcake cups if you wanna make cupcakes) and throw it in the oven! For about 20 to 30 minutes. *A trick to see if your cake is done is to poke it with a toothpick! If the toothpick comes out clean without any batter sticking to it, its done.

Cream cheese frosting recipe.

250 ml whipping cream 200 mg cream cheese 1/2 cup confectioner sugar (also known as icing sugar)

Instruction. Mix everything in a big bowl and whip the cream until stiff peaks formed! Be careful not to overbeat it. If the mixture is droopy even after you've mixed it for a long time, its overbeat. Stop when it reaches a 'whipped cream' like form.

Ive been using this recipe a few times now and so far alhamdulillah, there has been no complain from people who've tasted it. Sooo...hopefully you guys will like it too!

Upside Down Banana Cake

http://delightdulce.blogspot.com/2011/06/upside-down-banana-cake.html

Ingredients: 3 big ripe bananas 8 tbsp unsalted butter + 2 tbsp for caramelization 2/3 cup light brown sugar (don't press it down to measure) note: make a little less! 1 tsp cinnamon 1 cup granulated sugar 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda pinch of salt 2 eggs 1 cup sour cream 1 tbsp vanilla extract **the ingredients in hijau is for banana caramel, the rest is for the cake. Refer video instructions

1. Slice the banana evenly. Coat with juice of half a lime to prevent it from browning. 2. In the baking pan, put 2 tbsp unsalted butter and 2/3 cup light brown sugar, cinnamon then caramelize the mixture on the stove. 3. Spread the caramel evenly on the baking pan, then on top of that, layer the sliced banana. 4. Preheat the oven 350F. 5. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt. 6. In the mixing bowl, put the remaining butter(room temp).Mix until white and fluffy. 7. Add the sugar slowly. Scrape the side of the bowl occasionally. 8. Add egg one at a time, mix evenly after each addition 9. Put the sour cream a little at a time. 10. Add the vanilla extract. Mix it well. 11. Add the sifted flour. Mix carefully. (The mix will come up a bit thick but it's ok) 12. Gently spread the batter on the layered banana. 13. Bake for approx 40min at 350F (176C).

Verdict: The cake tasted great. The caramel however was a tad excessive, hence the cake was a lil too sweet for ibus taste. Everyone else was fine with it though (no surprises there). The cinnamon used was a LOT less than the recipe calls for as I do not like the taste of spices in my desserts. Will make again.
