Red Velvet Cake with Clotted Cream Frosting
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 160c fan. Grease a 12 inch heart shaped tin. Have a smaller oven-proof tin at the ready to bake any excess batter.
Step 2
Sieve the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and combine well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, 50ml water and red colouring paste until completely emulsified. Add the eggs and combine thoroughly. The mixture will be vivid red!
Step 3
Pour the cake batter into the heart-shaped tin. If you have any excess batter, pour it into a smaller tin – you can use this to add cake crumbs to decorate the cake. Bake the smaller tin for 15 minutes and the larger heart-shaped cake for 20 minutes – or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in the tin before turning out onto a wire rack.
Step 4
Crumble the smaller excess batter cake into fine crumbs to use for decoration.
Step 5
When the cake has cooled, place it on your favourite serving plate. Gently smooth the Cornish clotted cream over the top of the sponge, swirling the topping as you go.
Step 6
Decorate the top with cake crumbs, berries and red fruit.
