Android 11 red velvet cake

Долгое время компания Google следовал традиции предоставления «десертных» названий новым версиям Android, а также устанавливала на входе в штаб-квартиру зеленую статуэтку робота, который каждый раз держал в руке новый десерт или изображали его в виде сладости. Но с появлением десятой версии компания решила отказаться от этой практики, ограничившись указанием номера версии операционной системы в названии.

Правда, как оказалось, сама Google не отказалась от «десертных» названий. Они не озвучены широкой аудиторией, но продолжают активно использоваться внутри компании. С таким заявлением выступили вице-президент Google и руководитель проекта Android Дэйв Берк. По его словам, разработчикам просто удобнее использовать кодовые имена.

Так, Android 10 получил кодовое название Quince Tart, а Android 11 — Red Velvet Cake. Правда, очень трудно понять, в чём заключается удобство произношения длинного имени или сокращения из заглавных букв, а не просто порядкового номера операционной системы. В любом случае можно отдать должное корпорации Google, продолжающей чтить свои собственные традиции и называть новые версии операционной системы названиями десертов.

Что касается предстоящей версии Android 11, то на данный момент пользователям и разработчикам доступна только бета-версия. Но до выхода окончательной версии операционной системы осталось немного времени. Судя по видео, размещенному на канале YouTube для разработчиков Google, стабильная версия Android 11 выйдет 8 сентября.

We made Google’s official Android 11 Red Velvet Cake recipe [Video]

— Sep. 12th 2020 11:30 am PT

Well, personally, I never anticipated that I would be making a cake based upon a recipe that Google shared during the launch of Android 11, but here we are.

For those slightly out of the loop, during the launch of Android 11, Google left a little Easter Egg of sorts on their not-so-traditional Android statue. It contained a Red Velvet Cake recipe which was, of course, the internal codename for Android 11.

We wouldn’t be “9to5GOOGLE” if we didn’t give it a whirl. We actually saw this as a personal challenge. So, sleeves rolled up and with the help of someone with far more culinary experience, yours truly set about making the “official” Android 11 Red Velvet Cake. After some sleuthing, we actually found that the exact recipe used by Google for their cake was from the wonderful Sally’s Baking Addiction.

You can find her full recipe and method above, which we have briefly summarized for you below if you want to make your own “Android 11 cake.”

Recipe

3 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup canola oil (rapeseed oil in UK)
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
red food coloring
1 cup buttermilk

Frosting

16 ounces softened cream cheese
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
4 and 1/2 cups confectioners sugar (powdered)
12 tablespoon heavy cream
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
pinch of salt

How to make the Android 11 Red Velvet Cake

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F or 177°C.
Grease two 9-inch cake pans, and line with baking paper or parchment paper so that you don’t ruin the cake trying to remove it from the pans.
- 9to5Google Tip: Crunch the parchment paper to help make it fit if you have cut an exact sized sheet

How to make the Cake

How to make the frosting

In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together at medium-high speed until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. This should take around 2 minutes.
Slowly add the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat the mixture on a low speed for around 30 seconds, before increasing to high speed for a further 3 minutes until the mixture is fully combined and creamy.
If the frosting is runny, add more confectioners’ sugar and an extra pinch of salt if it’s too sweet. The frosting should be soft, supple, but not runny or watery.

Assembling and frosting

Grab a large serrated knife or bread knife and slice a very thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat surface. Keep this as you can use it to crumble over your finished cake.
Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand or a separate serving plate. If you want multiple layers cut in half again for a 4 layer Red Velvet Cake.
- 9to5Google Tip: Put a tiny dash of frosting on the plate and spread before laying the cake on to keep the cake stable on the plate
Evenly cover each layer top with frosting. Top and frost each layer until you have topped all cake layers then spread then remaining frosting all over the top and sides.
Crumble over the thinly sliced top layer for added flair.
Now you’ll need to refrigerate the cake for at least 30-60 minutes before attempting to slice. This helps the cake hold its shape when cutting and ensures the frosting is firm.
Enjoy!

How does it taste?

Without delving into a full review of this little Android 11 Easter Egg, it tastes great! If you hate sweet treats then the Android 11 Red Velvet Cake recipe might not be for you though, as you’ll be using a LOT of sugar as well as cream cheese. If you’re on a diet, stick to the regular Android 11 on your Pixel and pick up a healthy low-calorie snack instead.

Even Android 11 is cake

Android 11 Red Velvet Cake, specifically

Illustration by William Joel / The Verge

In 2020, everything is cake — including Android 11. Android VP of engineering Dave Burke revealed the internal codename “Red Velvet Cake” in an interview with All About Android, via Droid Life.

Google’s alphabetical dessert naming scheme was an Android tradition for years, dating back to Android 1.5 Cupcake in 2009. But last year, instead of naming Android Q after an obscure pastry tart or candy, Google made the choice to desert desserts entirely for its public releases in favor of numerical names instead, beginning with Android 10 and continued with the upcoming release of Android 11 this fall.

But that’s not the whole story. As Google’s Sameer Samat, VP of product management for Android, told The Verge last year, the company is still using alphabetical, dessert-based codenames internally for new Android releases. Burke revealed last year that Android Q had been internally known as “Quince Tart” and likely would have been called “Queen Cake” had the decision to continue using tasty titles continued.

Red Velvet Cake appears to be the continuation of that tradition for this year’s version of Android, which would have been named Android R under the old naming scheme. It goes to show: it’s cake all the way down.

Начиная с ОС Android 10, компания Google ушла от традиции наименования новой ОС каким либо десертом. То же самое относится и к следующей ОС, которая так и будет называться Android 11. Однако вице-президент Android Дэвид Берк сообщил, что новая версия Android на самом деле имеет десертное внутреннее кодовое имя.
