Ketchup Cake
Ran across a slamming recipe for Ketchup Cake. That's right! Cake flavored with the red stuffs. Would you eat it? Recipe below, and oh yea, ketchup.
GREAT CANADIAN HEINZ KETCHUP CAKE
The commemorative cake from Heinz tastes much like carrot cake and makes 12 servings.
CAKE INGREDIENTS:
2 cups (500 mL) All-purpose flour
2 tsp (10 mL) Baking powder
1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) Ground cinnamon
1 tsp (5 mL) Baking soda
1/2 tsp (2 mL) Each ground nutmeg and ginger
1/2 cup (125 mL) Heinz Tomato Ketchup
1/2 cup (125 mL) Water
2 tbsp (30 mL) Red food colouring
3/4 cup (175 mL) Butter, softened
11/2 cups (375 mL) Dark brown sugar, packed
2 Eggs
FROSTING:
6 oz (175 g) Brick-style cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup (175 mL) Butter, softened
1 tsp (5 mL) Vanilla extract
4 cups (1 L) Icing sugar
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Grease two, 9-inch (23-cm) round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Stir the flour with the baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and ginger into a bowl. Stir the ketchup, water and colouring in a separate bowl. Set aside. Beat the butter and blend in the sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the eggs. Add the flour mixture and ketchup mixture. Beat on low, scraping down the bowl as needed, until combined. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat for one minute. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the centre springs back when touched lightly. Cool the cakes for 15 minutes before turning onto a rack to cool completely. Frosting: Beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla on medium speed for 2 minutes or until smooth. Gradually beat in the sugar on low, scraping the bowl as needed. Beat on high until fluffy.
Frost between the cake layers and over the sides and top of the cake.

Music: Friends or Whatever - Friends or Whatever [2010]
blocSonic released Richmond artist Row1n (under the moniker Friends Or Whatever) debut release Friends Or Whatever. Please check it out. Comment. Tell your friends. Ketchup!
blocSonic is quite proud to present to you the self-titled debut by Richmond, Virginia artist Friends or Whatever. With its fusion of shimmering electronica and a raw rock vibe, FoW proves to be a very engaging listen. At times quiet and contemplative… at other times beat-driven and laced with distorted guitar and melancholic vocals. All the while a bit challenging to put your finger on and yet it’s quickly familiar. It’s that very enigmatic nature that’s sure to pull you in.
Video: RVA Sessions - Photosynthesizers
Richmond's premiere hip-hop band Photosynthesizers recently performed a live set for RVA Magazine. Always a pleasure to watch these talented musicians. Ketchup!!
