Steps to make Cream Cheese Icing and Red Velvet Cupcake
Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting
- I’ve used a stand mixer
- Add 1 cup cream cheese
- Add 1/2 cup room temperature unsalted butter
- Add 10 drops of Ossoro French Vanilla Essence
- Cream them
- Gradually add 4 cups of icing sugar
- It took me around 8 minutes using my stand mixer
- Transfer to an icing bag, fill only half!
- I stored the remaining in a squeazy bottle
- Keep it in the fridge to set for 1-2 hours
Red Velvet Cupcake
- Pre heat oven to 180C for 20 minutes
- In a mug or jug, Add 200grams condensed milk
- Add 1/2 cup melter butter
- Add 1/2 cup water
- Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Add 1.5 teaspoons Ossoro Vanilla Essence
- Add 1.5 teaspoons Red Food Colouring and mix
- In a mixing bowl
- Add 1/8 teaspoon salt
- In a sieve add 1 cup maida or all purpose flour
- Add 1 teaspoon Baking Powder and 1/2 a teaspoon Baking Soda
- Add 1/4 cup Cocoa
- Sift all ingredients together
- Pour in the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients
- Mix using a spatula until no dry ingredients remain
- Prepare your cupcake moulds
- I added 2-3 tablespoons of the batter into each cupcake mould
- Tap on the counter to remove bubbles
- Transfer to the preheated oven
- Bake in the oven at 180C for 20 minutes
- Take out, check with a toothpick if it is cooked
- Let it cool for 30 minutes
- Meanwhile take out the cream cheese frosting
- After the cupcake is cool to touch, frost it!
- I am still a novice when it comes to decorating a cupcake
- I need a lot more finesse to it!
- Chill it for 15-20 minutes in a fridge
- Serve chilled!
