RED VELVET CAKE WITH RASPBERRIES AND ALMONDS
The combination of vanilla and almonds in this cake is a great companion to the tangy buttermilk and vinegar notes that are signature to a classic red velvet cake. The almonds meander throughout the cake; they're in the layers and top. So do the raspberries. It a visually stunning cake!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line the bottoms of 2 9-inch cake pans with parchment or waxed paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Make the cake: in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy, 5-8 minutes. Add eggs one by one and mix until each is fully incorporated, scraping the bowl as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the food coloring and vanilla. Blend into butter mixture. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Alternating in 2 batches each, add dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture. Stir in half of the almonds.
- Bake the cake: Divide batter evenly between the 2 prepared pans, place in the center of the oven and bake 20-25 minutes or until the tip of a small knife inserted in the center emerges clean. Cool.
- Make the frosting: In the large bowl fitted with the paddle, beat the cream cheese, confectioner's sugar and vanilla until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in raspberries until they separate and break into small pieces.
- Assemble the cake: Place one layer of the cake on a flat surface. Frost the top with a scant third of the frosting. Sprinkle with about half of the remaining almonds. Top squarely with the second cake and gently press the two layers together. Frost the top and sides with the remaining frosting and top with remaining almonds and raspberries.
RED VELVET CAKE WITH RASPBERRY FILLING
A delicious sounding variation on the Red Velvet Cake. I had never heard of Red Velvet Cake until I visited my husband's relatives in Chicago. (They even have Duncan Hienz Red Velvet Cake Mix there). It a traditional holiday cake in their family and since I tried it I have been on a quest for the best recipe. This is my latest contender gleaned from the pages of Cooking Light.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9-inch cake pans and sprinkle with flour if pans don't have a smooth bottom.
- Whisk 3 cups flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
- Beat 1/2 cup butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Add 1 1/2 cups sugar and beat until fairly creamy, about 2 minutes. Pour in vegetable oil and beat until combined, about 30 seconds more.
- Beat in egg yolks, vanilla extract, vinegar, and enough food coloring to reach desired color. Pour in flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk, on low speed until just incorporated, making sure to not overmix the batter.
- Beat egg whites until thick and frothy in a separate bowl; fold into the batter. Pour batter into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Be careful not to overbake. Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 to 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving plate to cool completely.
- Whisk sugar, flour, and salt in a saucepan to combine. Whisk in milk gradually, making sure there are no lumps. Place saucepan over medium heat. Stir until thickened. Pour mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate until completely cool, about 1 hour.
- Place frosting in a mixing bowl. Add lemon juice and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric mixer on high speed to combine. Whip in cream cheese, 1 tablespoon at a time. Whip in butter and continue to mix until you have a really thick frosting. Place into an airtight container and refrigerate if not using immediately.
- Frost cooled cake and place sliced strawberries between the 2 layers.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line the bases of 2 x 20cm sandwich tins with baking parchment. Using an electric hand whisk, beat together the caster sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition.
- Sieve the flour and cocoa powder into a bowl. Add half to the egg mixture and fold in carefully. Mix together the buttermilk, vinegar, cream cheese, raspberry purée and food gel. Fold half the buttermilk mixture into the cake batter and repeat the process with both the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture.
- Spoon the combined mixtures into your prepared tins and cook for about 25-30 mins, until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool for 10 mins before turning out onto a wire rack.
- For the frosting, mix together the icing sugar and butter until soft and creamy, then stir in the cream cheese. Sandwich the cooled cakes together with half of the frosting, adding 150g fresh raspberries if you like, then spread the remaining frosting over the top. Will keep for up to 3 days in a cool place.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, not margarine, and using fresh eggs and milk.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. If you bake the cake at too high a temperature, it will be dry. If you bake it for too long, it will be overcooked.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. If you frost the cake while it is still warm, the frosting will melt and slide off.
- Be creative with your frosting. You can use different colors of frosting, or you can add sprinkles or other decorations.
Conclusion:
Red velvet cake is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist crumb, creamy frosting, and beautiful red color, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. If you are looking for a special dessert to make, red velvet cake is a great choice.
