Red Velvet Cake Frites & Southern Comfort Dipping Sauce

February 8, 2012 by bblondie 40 Comments

Red Velvet Cake Frites | ButtercreamBlondie.com
 

Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to allow yourself to indulge your sweet tooth in something sinful. Red velvet cake frites paired with a dark chocolate Southern Comfort dipping sauce is just the dessert to help you do that.  These cake frites take classic red velvet cake to a whole new level, and the dipping sauce adds a pop of flavor that balances the dessert beautifully.  I also have some exciting news to share with you guys!  Today I’m featured in a national news story thanks to Raycom Media and reporter Joseph Neese.  It involves a dessert for every stage of your relationship, and you can check it out here.
When I made my original cake frites, Carrot Cake Frites, I knew I wanted to try them with red velvet cake.  I was waiting for the right time to test them out, and what better time than Valentine’s Day?  I don’t know how it’s possible, but I think I actually like these even more than the original ones!  They are so unbelievably light, the funnel cake is like a little pillow wrapped around the cake.  Once I fried them, I tossed them in some sugar mixed with cocoa powder and sea salt.  The sea salt is key here because it brings all the flavors out.  I zhushed up my dark chocolate dipping sauce by adding a splash of Southern Comfort making it the perfect accessory to these frites.  The Southern Comfort lends such a brightness to it that just leaves you wanting more.  Whether you’re sharing these with your sweetie, treating yourself, or serving them for a girls night in, cake frites are always a hit.
As you can probably tell be now, I’m completely over the moon over cake frites.  They are hands down one of my favorite dessert makeovers, and I hope you try them.  Enjoy the video!
