This mini version of the classic Red Velvet Cake is one of the more popular offerings in bakeries all across the country. Whip up a batch this holiday season or anytime of the year.
These treats come heartily endorsed by Joanne Shew Chuk of St. Benedict, Saskatchewan. She relates, 'I bake a lot of different muffins, but I use this recipe the most.'
My mother jokes that if she had a nickel for every pan of these she's made, she'd be wealthy! They are so rich, so sweet, and so good! Cut in small squares.
Grapefruit or mixed fruit marmalade will work just as well as the orange marmalade called for in the recipe. Serve the casserole with honey or pancake syrup warmed with orange rind and a splash of orange juice (add one teaspoon rind and two tablespoons juice per 1/2 cup syrup). This easy casserole can be assembled in less than 15 minutes and stored in the refrigerator overnight.
Use any combination of nuts and seeds. This salad would also be good with sliced bell pepper or shiitake mushrooms. Serve as an accompaniment to pepper steak or pork chops glazed with hoisin sauce. Look for the wheat noodles labeled as plain for this salad.
'Our local peat bogs are known around the world for their beautiful blueberries,' reports Anne Krueger from Richmond, British Columbia. 'I can prepare this dessert quick as a wink. It's always a crowd-pleaser at church suppers.'
