red velvet cake recipe with creamy yogurt frosting with step by step photos and video recipe. happpyyyy valentines day guysss <3 valentines day is perfect when you have your perfect cake to celebrate with your loved one. I prepare this delicious red velvet cake for mr.husband of course with a touch of yogurt frosting surprise.
red velvet cake needs no introduction. It is one of the most popular recipe in us and now in all over the world as well. what makes this recipe unique is the frosting. I didn’t use whipped cream or cream cheese frosting here. I choose something different today.
Healthy frosting (or at least healthier than buttercream or cream cheese frosting) that’s also tasty is possible! The secret is Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt frosting is just Greek yogurt, a little butter, and as much sugar as you’d like to get it to your desired sweetness. Greek yogurt frosting has a yogurt tang.
yogurt frosting is creamy and a soft frosting.It can not set perfectly like whipped cream and buttercream. But it is delicious and can be filled in between the cake layers or can be used of course for the homestyle cakes 😉
you don’t need to have a microwave for this recipe as you can make your cakes in a pressure cooker as well. for the detailed guide on pressure cooker cakes, visit this recipe post here.
