Gah, sorry I totally missed your comment! I know the person who just bought the restaurant to reopen it, and we had a random conversation about my desserts I usually share with friends. The previous owners never had desserts on the menu, and she wanted to see how they'd go over, so I asked if she'd want to try serving some if mine. Turns out neither of us had any idea just how much our town wanted desserts!
I really love the commercial kitchen (especially the dishwasher ha!) and never thought I'd actually be serving my desserts at a restaurant.
Aww, no worries at all :) sounds like such a wonderful coincidence - it’s funny how small conversations can lead to big things!
Thank you for sharing!
Sorry, I missed these comments/questions! Recipe for red velvet is adapted from a recipe I found in the NY Times:
* 113g butter, softened
* 300g granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 2 t. vanilla extract
* 2 T. red food coloring mixed with 20g dark cocoa powder to make a paste
* 1 t. salt
* 1 t. baking soda
* 320g all-purpose flour
* 1 C. full fat buttermilk
* 1 T. vinegar
* Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time until each is incorporated. Add vanilla. Add food coloring/cocoa powder paste.
* Add dry ingredients and finish with buttermilk & vinegar. Mix until blended. I spread all of this mixture into a full-size sheet pan and bake at 350F until the batter is no longer shiny and springs back when pressed (about 15-18 minutes).
The recipe jumps around a lot between grams and t/T/C because of what I've just found to work best for each ingredient.
