Red is the
color of love that’s why Valentine’s Day means red color everywhere. For V-Day special I made some spinach cheese
tart so I thought to make something red which will make our day perfect. And
without a perfect dessert any celebration becomes dull. So finally I made some
RED VELVET CAKE to celebrate the special V-Day.
The specialty
of the cake is the RED COLOR and this cake is layered with some cream cheese
filling. As I told before baking is not my cup of tea so this time also I was little nervous but after seeing the cake my husband's expression was best V-Day
gift for me.

Now slowly
add the flour mixture into the creamed mixture alternately with milk. Beat just
until combined.
Now flour
and grease two same size cake pans and bake two same size cakes for 30 to 35
mints or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool it for
10 mints, then take out the cakes from the pan and place them in a cool rack.
Now make
the frosting:
In a
bowl add the butter, powder sugar, cream cheese and vanilla essence and mix
well.
Now in a plate
first place one cake then spread the cream cheese on top of that like a layer
now place another cake and same way spread the cream cheese all the sides of
the cake smooth the surface.
I just decorated the cake with some crushed candy which makes the cake more tasty but you
can use any other things to decorate your cake.
Enjoy your RED VELVET CAKE WITH YOUR LOVED one.
