preheat the oven to 170

grease two circle cake tins

cream the butter and sugar for 5mins or untill light and airey,slowly add the eggs whilst beating

add the red food colouring,the cocoa powder and vanilla extract mixing all the time.

then with a spatula fold in the sour cream.

sift in half the flour,adding the bicarbonate of soda as you go folding half way thru. you should have a smooth mixture at this point,if not beat untill you do.

pour the mixture into the lined tins and bake 30-35mins checking half way thru.

to make the icing beat the icing sugar,butter and cream cheese together on slow-med speed untill well mixed. Do not over beat!

assemble the cake together and decorate how you like I used fresh fruit and a dusting of icing sugar to finish it off.
