New versions of Android usually come with curious Easter eggs, messages or functions hidden by the developers. Android 11, the latest version of the Google operating system, hides a cooking recipe. More precisely the recipe for a Red Velvet cake, which is hidden in a statue.
Google Vice President of Engineering Dave Burke confirmed via his Twitter account that on this occasion the Android 11 statue would be a 3D model that users could see from anywhere thanks to augmented reality. Hidden in its back is this recipe.
Android 11 is the second version of the story without a dessert or candy name.

Red Velvet is one of the most loved cakes.
Instructions for preparation
- We warm up. Preheat the oven to 177 ° C (350 ° F). Grease two cake pans and put baking paper on top.
- Mass. Combine the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt in a large bowl. With a mixer and leaf attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed for about 1 minute. Add the oil, egg yolks, vanilla extract and vinegar and beat on high speed for 2 minutes.
- Mix that mix. With the planetary mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in 2-3 steps, alternating them with the buttermilk. Add the dye you think necessary, 1-2 teaspoons may be enough. Beat the 4 egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently knead the preparation until it is velvety and light.
- The sponge cake. Divide the dough into molds and bake for about 30 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. Do not overcook or the cakes will be dry. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely in molds or placed on a wire rack. The cakes must be completely cold before starting the assembly.
- For the icing. Whisk the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl on medium-high speed until smooth and integrated, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase speed and beat for 3 minutes until completely smooth and creamy. Add more sugar if the icing is too fine or a pinch of salt if the icing is too sweet. The glaze should be smooth and integrated, not liquid.
- Assemble the cake. Using a large serrated knife, cut a thin layer from the top of the cake to create flat sheets. Place one of the cake layers on the plate and cover with the icing. Repeat until all layers have been used and cover the end with icing all over.
- Almost ready. Cool the cake for at least 45 minutes before cutting it. This will help the cake not lose its shape. By the way, if you want to check out another Red Velvet recipe, it would be a good idea to stop by Placer at Placer.
