They’re best served warm from the oven, with good quality vanilla ice cream (devastatingly I didn’t have any in the freezer this time, so I guess I’ll just have to make them again). They take about 45mins to make, including baking time. The ultimate comfort food, whipped up within the hour.

And scrambled with some herbs and melty cheese. And simply cooked over-medium in melted butter. I love eggs any way, any time of the day. One of my earliest egg-lovin' memories is eating Chinese tea eggs (cha ye dan) as a kid. They are hard boiled eggs (with the shell cracked but still in tact) soaked in a mixture of black tea and spices.

This week's red velvet cake is not the first one I've made. I've tried several recipes in the past and wanted to try a new one this week, but I knew what I was looking for and luckily found something close in the The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook (I've made a few edits of my own). The result was a red velvet cake that was incredibly moist and had wonderful flavor: 1) More cocoa powder: Some red velvet recipes called for too little cocoa powder, typically a tablespoon and even as little as a teaspoon. Red velvet cake isn't supposed to be a chocolate cake in disguise, but it definitely needs that mellow flavor of chocolate, which for my taste buds a tablespoon just doesn't cut it. 2) Easy on the acid: I've made a red velvet cake in the past that just had too much acid for me, the addition of buttermilk and vinegar was a little too much. 3) Lots of red food coloring: Call me picky, but there is nothing more disappointing than cutting into a red velvet cake that isn't red.
