View postThis compound herb butter is a flavorful mixture of butter and a combination of herbs. It’s one of my favorite recipes that takes anything from a standard steak recipe to the likes of green beans or potatoes to the next level.
You can use any kind of butter that you like from the regular stick of butter in your fridge to a European-style butter from the store or a specialty shop.
Likewise, you can customize the herbs — anything from fresh parsley or fresh basil to fresh rosemary and fresh thyme work well (you can see I’m a bit of a fan of using fresh herbs, but you can use dried, too, if necessary).

Red Velvet Bundt Cake with Kahlua Ganache is the perfect red velvet cake recipe for your Valentine’s Day. This is sure to bring big smiles from your sweetie this holiday.
Have you had enough red velvet yet? No- me neither??? I was going through all the boxes of cake pans I shipped home from my mom’s house & really wanted to make a cake with one of them.
I only had one bundt pan prior to the arrival of the boxes so I was itching to try out one of her pans to see if I would have a better result. This Red Velvet Bundt Cake w/ Kahlua Ganache turned out delicious!
Since it is inching closer to Valentine’s Day I had to make a Red Velvet Bundt & then I decided to top it with a Chocolate Ganache instead of cream cheese frosting.
But not just any chocolate ganache would do. I decided to give it a little extra love & create something special.
I don’t know about you, but red velvet is a must-make this time of year. Don’t get me wrong, we enjoy it year-round.
But when we are coming up on Valentine’s Day – we are in red velvet overload around here.
I had to add a little coconut & sprinkles on top.
I love a dense cake that doesn’t crumble or fall apart. This is the absolute perfect consistency- dense but not heavy (if that makes any sense)
If you can- just let that ganache just drizzle & drip all over the place.
Not too much- but this was the perfect amount without overwhelming the flavor of the cake.
Because of the ganache on this cake, I recommend placing it in an airtight container or wrapping it with plastic wrap and keeping it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
It will really depend on how you slice the cake. We are able to have enough for the 5 of us for at least 2 days – sometimes more depending on how we potion things out. But you could definitely get at least 12 slices out of this cake.
Yes – if you don’t want to add Kahlua to this recipe – you can use vanilla extract instead.
Vanilla extract is a common flavoring found in most baked good recipes and frequently found in cookies too. It adds a certain depth to the flavor of the recipe that extends beyond a more “bready” taste.
Yes. Vanilla essence does not provide quite the same flavor as regular vanilla extract. However, it is a good alternative.
Of course, it can! If you prefer cream cheese frosting with your red velvet cake – try this cream cheese frosting recipe here.
So Dutch-processed cocoa powder is also referred to as alkalized cocoa. This powder starts with cocoa beans that have been washed in an alkaline solution of potassium carbonate, also used in the production of soap and glass.
By doing this, it neutralizes the acidity of the beans, making the beans neutral. This is important because when they are neutral, they do not react with baking soda. Instead, it is often paired with baking powder.
So – long story short – using regular cocoa powder vs Dutch-process cocoa powder will yield a completely different rise and texture to any recipe you are making.
So I highly recommend paying close attention to the type of cocoa powder called for in each recipe and sticking to it for that reason.
The official way is to spoon the flour into the measuring cup & level off. This makes sure the flour isn’t packed tightly into your measuring cup, adding more than you need, as that will make your recipe too dry.
However – if you fluff your flour with a spoon, then gently scoop the flour into the measuring cup, taking care to not pack the flour – that should work for this recipe.
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.
I’m not sure just yet. I have been meaning to give this a try but haven’t had a chance. If you do try this, I would recommend using a 1:1 flour like this one as I don’t believe it would require additional ingredients that are typically called for when trying to make baked recipes in a gluten-free version. Please come back & tell me how it turned out.
Yes, I do it often. Just make sure to wrap it tightly with plastic wrap before freezing. I recommend freezing the cake without the ganache and adding that fresh once you are ready to serve the cake.
