Waddup dudes!
I made a Red Velvet cake on 2nd of May to celebrate the second day of Eid!

| I’m Baker Lee! Jk XD |
Before you get any wrong ideas, I actually used store-bought cake flour to make this cake.
Ingredients:
After I got the ingredients and poured the cake mix into the mixing bowl, I threw away the package. A few seconds later I realised that I need to refer to it, so I flipped it to the side with the instruction page and left it like that in the bin.

First, I threw the butter in.
The instruction said to use a cake mixer to blend the batter, but I don’t have that at home so I used my trusty egg whisk instead.
It was grueling work. I had to cut the butter into smaller pieces to get it to melt quicker, but it wasn’t enough because I just got the butter out of the fridge and it’s still hard. I can still see chunks of it after a while, so I changed to a bigger egg whisk.
The bigger one did absolutely nothing at all. I learned that bigger doesn’t necessarily mean that it’ll be better compared to its smaller counterpart.
Out of frustration, I added hot water into the batter in a desperate attempt to get the butter to melt faster. It worked, but I think I did something illegal in baking.

I don’t have an over, so I poured the batter into the rice cooker.
 |
| Looking good so far. |
This rice cooker has an option for making cakes. Powerful.
After 50 mins, the cake was fully baked and we let it sit in the cooker for 10 more mins.

| The cake smelt really bad, but the taste was actually pretty good. |
I added some colourful sprinkles, which I’m pretty sure were already past the expiry date but that’s the only thing we have so I don’t really have many choices you see.
Have a blessed Eid everyone! 💖💖
