INGREDIENTS USED IN MAKING NO-OVEN RED VELVET CAKE BOMBS

• FLOUR

plays a key role in Red Velvet Cake Bombs, as it provides structure and stability to the batter, allowing the cake bombs to hold their shape while cooking in the paniyaram pan. The gluten in the flour binds with other ingredients, creating a light and tender crumb

• MILK

Milkin Red Velvet Cake Bombs serves multiple purposes, contributing to the flavor, texture, and overall consistency of the batter. It provides moisture to the dry ingredients, ensuring a smooth and pourable batter suitable for cooking in a paniyaram pan. Milk also helps activate acidic ingredients like vinegar or buttermilk (if used), which are essential in creating the signature soft and tender crumb of red velvet.

• SUGAR

Sugar in Red Velvet Cake Bombs is essential for sweetness, flavor enhancement, and texture. It balances the subtle bitterness of cocoa powder and the tanginess from buttermilk or vinegar, giving red velvet its signature flavor profile.

• COCOA POWDER

Cocoa powder is a key ingredient in Red Velvet Cake Bombs, contributing to their flavor, color, and texture. It provides the subtle chocolate undertone that balances the sweetness and tanginess of the batter, giving red velvet its distinctive taste.

In red velvet recipes, the cocoa is typically used in small amounts, just enough to add depth without overpowering. It also reacts with acidic ingredients like vinegar or buttermilk, enhancing the red color when paired with food coloring. 

• OIL

Oil in Red Velvet Cake Bombs plays a crucial role in creating a moist, tender texture. Unlike butter, which can solidify as it cools, oil remains liquid at room temperature, ensuring the cake bombs stay soft and moist for longer.

• CURD

Curd (yogurt) in Red Velvet Cake Bombs acts as a natural tenderizer and adds moisture, resulting in a soft and fluffy texture. Its slight tang enhances the flavor, balancing the sweetness of the sugar and complementing the cocoa powder to create the signature red velvet taste.

TIPS FOR MAKING NO-OVEN RED VELVET CAKE BOMBS

1. Grease the wells of the paniyaram pan with oil or butter to prevent sticking and achieve a golden crust.
2. The batter should be thick but pourable, like pancake batter, for easy handling and even cooking.
3. Once the wet and dry ingredients are combined, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can make the cake bombs dense.
4. Cook the cake bombs on low to medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning on the outside.
5. Use a small scoop or spoon to fill the wells evenly for consistent sizes.
6. Drizzle with cream cheese glaze, dip in melted chocolate, or dust with powdered sugar for extra flavor and appeal.
