Baking: Valentines Cake
Ok, i'm not going to go all full blown instructional recipe post here, I just used a packet mix!
Originally we were going to make a marble cake but we were pretty sure something would go wrong with the cake so we didn't want to waste time and cake mix on a cake that we'd end up throwing out!
Needless to say, the first attempt went very wrong as we (ok, I) overfilled the cake tin.
We'd never used it before despite buying it around two or three years ago, so we were bound to have a bad first attempt anyway really!
The base, sides and top of the cake were perfectly cooked but the inside was still just cake mix, so we threw that out and used the other half of our cake batter to try attempt two. We turned the oven down and just kept checking on it every five minutes.
It turned out pretty well I think!
I levelled the cake off and flipped it over..
...before giving it a nice coating of red icing and handing it over to my fiancé.
Did you do any Valentines themed baking?
