Happy weekend guys! Recipe of the day is Valentine’s Rose Cake – a beautiful heart-shaped cake, perfect to surprise your loved ones. 🌹
I was actually aiming for bright red layer which obviously didn’t happen. 🤣 But I actually really like this colour – kind of like a combination between pink and read, I guess.
Anyway, the cake is quite simple to make, it tastes light and fresh and I think looks quite lovely. 😍❤️
What you need:
- flour
- eggs
- buttermilk
- eggs
- sugar
- sunflower oil
- double cream
- cream cheese
- chocolate
- salt
- baking powder
