For Valentines' Day this year (yes, I know, it's disgustingly late, I'm sorry, more on that in another post) I thought I'd treat myself, my housemate and the wonderful people I worked with (then... see, that's why this post is so late) to an appropriately coloured sweet treat. Especially since it fell on a Monday so we were all hard at work.
So over the preceding weekend I baked. I got all my ingredients together....
I greased my pans (three layers!)...
I measured out my ingredients (this never happens in real life, but although I did it with this blog post in mind, it did actually make making the cake much simpler and less chaotic!)
I made almost-chocolate cake, and added the colouring... popped them in the oven and they came out like this...
Repeated the whole process with two layers instead of three, whipped up some vanilla frosting (had no cream cheese in the house for starters, and can't stand the stuff anyway) and this was the result.
Cake? Don't mind if I do... Happy (belated) Valentines Day!
