I'm again on the blog with another "recipe".
In april I turned twenty-one but I, unfortunately, didn't had time nor to write, nor to post the recipe of my birthday cake.

Now that I, finally, have plenty of time, I decided I should post the recipe.

On another birthday I discovered Red Velvet Cupcakes. They basically are "red" cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting. They were SO good that I decided to make a "big" Red Velvet Cake for my birthday.



I took major inspiration here.

For one delightful Red Velvet Birthday Cake you will need:



So first off you should preheat your oven to 170°.
Mix the eggs with the milk, oil and vanilla extract.
In another bowl mix the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder (=the dry ingredients).
Add the "liquid" mixture to the "dry mixture".
Butter and flour two eight inch pans.
Bake for about thirty minutes in the oven.
Once they are baked, let them cool down.

In the meantime make your frosting.
Beat the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add your vanilla extract. Add the sugar slowly, in batches, to this mixture.
Your frosting is ready!If you want an ombré effect you should divide your mixture by three now. In the first one you add the most coloration, in the second one a bit and in the last one none.

Take your two cakes and put some jam between them. Then you can start frosting. Start with the most yellow frosting. Make some roses. Then frost away with the middle yellow frosting and make also some roses. And last (but not least) frost with the white frosting.



And there you have your spectacular, delicious but easy to make Birthday Cake.
