Cakes & Pastries

Red Velvet Cake – Sounds really tempting, Doesn’t it? I made this cake this Valentines Day. The red color making it a perfect cake for the occasion. My Valentines – hubby and my tiny tot just loved it. I particularly liked the velvety texture- the feel that you get when you pop a piece in your mouth. Not sure what I mean? Well, time to try out the recipe I guess 🙂

You must have noticed that I have applied less icing in between and on the cake. I don’t like too sweet desserts so I always cut down on the icing. The next time I try it though, I would definitely use more icing as I am sure that with sufficient icing layer in between the cakes, the red and white contrast would be more prominent and would definitely make the cake look even more tempting..

Note : To make the cake flour at home, you would need all purpose flour and corn flour. For each cup of all purpose flour, take out two tablespoons from the flour and replace with two tablespoons of corn flour. Sift 2-3 times and your cake flour is ready.
