Once Sonja came up with the red velvet cupcake, it seemed to have sprung into every baker's repertoire. Though Sonja's was very popular, I wasn't really impressed. I kept on searching for the one that is really to die for. I found one in Manay's kitchen. She got the recipe from a famous person's favorite things.
When I found Cukay's stall in Eastwood Mall's Weekend Gourmet, I just had to sample it. This particular cake comes highly recommended by Lori Baltazar of DCF. I can understand why. It is very moist and flavorful. I had to stop myself from finishing the whole 4x3 piece all by myself. I finished it in two sittings instead. It is very reminiscent of Manay's red velvet. They may have same recipe.
My only concern was I can feel the powdery texture of the sugar in the frosting. I was hoping for a thicker coating of the frosting. Maybe I was expecting a more whipped texture I've tried elsewhere? All in all, it was very good. I will definitely try it again. I just have to forget the fact that the red in cake is mainly artificial coloring.
Next on my list her Carrot Cake. It is another highly recommended product by DCF. I'll have to see if it is as good as mine =D
