Red Velvet Love
What comes to your mind when someone says 'Love is in the air' - the colour red (be it red roses, red heart, red balloons) and chocolates galore.
For ages the chocolates and the colour red have been synonyms for LOVE. And I am sure that someone in Love actually went ahead to combine these two
and create the delicacy called the Red Velvet.
This dramatic looking cake has a mild chocolate flavour with a moist and tender crumb. What makes this cake even more striking in appearance and
amazing in taste, is the white creamy frosting. A single bite of this delight will certainly leave you looking for more.
Flour Buttercream Frosting
A classic red velvet cake is usually covered with cream cheese frosting. But it is very difficult to source good quality cream cheese in India.
Though Britannia Cream Cheese is readily available in most shops, I feel the cost of the frosting exceeds my budget.
I found an alternative frosting which equally enhances the taste of the Red Velvet and keeps it as pretty as the cream cheese frosting.
This Flour Butter Cream frosting is an absolute hit among kids.
