One recipe that Im so proud of.....






2 1/2 cups cake flour


1 tbsp of cocoa


1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter

2 cups granulated sugar 


4 eggs 


2 tbsp of pure beetroot juice


2 teaspoons rose essence


1/2 cup buttermilk 


1 cup sour cream

This is the color you will get

I baked  double recipe for this , and built 6 layers.
Cream cheese is very soft. thus pls spread a layer and place a slice of cake on top and leave it in the fridge for  5 minutes to allow the cream cheese to firm up if you are doing lots of layers. Each laye pls slice to a height of 1below 15mm
