Raise your hand if you’re thinking about purim.

Well guys. I know some of you are totally ready for purim, with your shalach manos packed and your kids’ costumes hanging in the closet. But, for the rest of us, Purim is coming and we all need to get planning. And let me tell you – forget the themes. I love, more than anything else, to receive delicious homemade goodies. And while the archives of this blog are full of hundreds of homemade goodies, I figured I would share one more. Because this red velvet pound cake with cream cheese crumbs looks fantastic and tastes even better. And who doesn’t want that?

Note about the packaging: I got these gorgeous, disposable loaf pans in Home Goods, but you can get them on Amazon as well. It’s perfect for sending shalach manos!

Red Velvet Pound Cake with Cream Cheese Crumbs
Author: Miriam Pascal, OvertimeCook.com
Serves: 5-6 small loaves
 
Originally published in Whisk Magazine.
Ingredients
  • For the cake:
  • ½ cup milk or soy milk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup oil
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoons red food coloring
  • 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 ¾ cups flour
for the cream cheese crumbs:
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 4 ounces (half a package) cream cheese or tofutti cream cheese (brick style)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease mini loaf pans with non-stick baking spray and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine milk and lemon juice and set aside. The mixture will curdle while you prepare your batter.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together the oil, sugar and eggs for a minute or two, until creamy. Add the baking soda, salt, vanilla food coloring and cocoa. Beat until combined.
  4. Turn the mixer to low. Add half of the flour, followed by the curdled milk mixture, followed by the remaining flour. Beat until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter between 5-6 mini loaf pans; set aside.
  6. In a small bowl, combine all crumb ingredients and mix with a spoon or your fingers until coarse crumbs form. Divide the crumbs over the prepared cakes.
  7. Bake for about 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Note that the baking time may vary based on the size of the pans being used.
Plan Ahead:
  1. These cakes freeze well in an airtight container or bag.

    The 3 tablespoons of cocoa seem to have turned the colour from red to brown.
    Was that intended?
    Thanks
