Pink Velvet, so nice...



Thick frosting. Will reduce it the next time I make this. Will be soon...


Made this Pink Velvet cake last Sunday. It is so delicious, the kids love it. This recipe is a keeper. Might even be a new product for bayudelights.

1 tsp vanilla essence

225 gm superfine flour - no need to sift, ha ha
2 tbsp corn flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder

Method:
1. Beat butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until fluffy.

Once cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting and sprinkle the dessicated coconut. Sedap sesangat!!! Silver dragees tu saja je tabur..

2. Slowly beat in sugar until well blended.
3. At low speed, add cream and vanilla.
