Engineer Ameera Aboulseoud[/caption]
Aboulseoud used the red velvet cake recipe in the book “Baking Bible” by Rose Levy Bereanbaum to develop her own recipe. She says: I didn’t use the exact ingredients but swapped some them including the ¾ cup of buttermilk which I swapped with 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar added to it and the raspberry sauce which I didn’t make but instead made frosting that is not found in the original recipe. However, I used only the egg whites like the original recipe instead of whole eggs, baking powder and baking soda.
