Hi everyone, hope you are having a lovely day today.
I got busy baking a birthday cake for a friend in London, to deliver to her mum here in Nigeria ( YES!!! we take orders from people in the diaspora to be delivered to their loved ones in Lagos)
This red-velvet cake is 8 inches wide, layered and covered in a fluffy cream cheese frosting, decorated in vintage style, with red roses and red & white lace ribbon.

RED VELVET 101
A little history about red-velvet cakes. This is a southern american style buttermilk based chocolate cake, that originally got its reddish hue from the reaction between natural cocoa powder and the acidic ingredient found in buttermilk. However, today the reddish colour of the red-velvet cake is derived from red food colouring and this could be translated into other recipes, whoopie pies, pancakes, cheesecakes and so much more. Red-velvet cakes are usually frosted with cream cheese frosting for that added flavour, YUM YUM !!!!
What you derive from eating a red-velvet cake is a delicious and subtle flavoured cake; that's not quite chocolate and at the same time not quite vanilla!!!!
