Frosted My Red Velvet Cocoa Buttercream Inauguration Cake, Yum Yum

Oh my goodness. I tried the recipe my hairdresser gave me Saturday. I had a box cake mix for red velvet. I replaced the water with whole milk same equivalent as listed on the box. I replaced butter with the amount of oil it stated. I softened the butter to room temperature and then used the mixer to break it up before adding the cake mix in which I added a box of vanilla pudding (not the cook method one though), 4 eggs not 3 as listed on the box, and then once mixed up add 1/2 cup of sour cream. I was curious so I tasted the batter and that was yummy so I imagined the cake would be yummy also. I baked mine in an angel food cake pan so I needed to add a few more minutes to the bake time in which I followed the time for baking a bundt cake.

Early this morning I made my homemade cocoa butter cream frosting. I already not only frosted the cake, I tasted the cake and then I cut up pieces for me to take to my hairdresser, 3 neighbors, and the auto mechanic since I didn't have time to get there during Christmas to drop off my baked goods. I froze the rest for another day. I try to stay away from desserts and oh boy, when I tried this, it was delicious. 

I will call it my inauguration celebration cake when I deliver them to some people. I also prepped my beef brisket and have it ready to go into the oven today. Remember when making beef brisket the rule to cook it slow and low oven temp wise. I have a small head of cauliflower so I may try making cauliflower mashed potatoes but with no potatoes. I need to peel and slice some carrots also to add to the beef when cooking. It makes the carrots so tender when the beef is done.

I still have on the back of my car the picture of President Trump with the thumbs up and believe it or not, people will still honk at me when driving and even give a thumbs up to me, imagine that. On the passenger back seat head rest I still have my TRUMP lavender color visor too. Even though I have 2 garden flag holders outside I will change the 1 for holidays but still have in the other one the banner of President trump with fist in the air just after he was shot at. Great day for the USA, finally welcoming back to the White House an air of grace and elegance.
