    Loved the cake mixture, my icing was a bit too runny, so will have to see where I went wrong with that one next time.

    Good recipe. However, I will halve the icing next time as it made a too much and there was a bit leftover. I ended up making a cheesecake with the leftover so it wouldn't get wasted.

    Beautiful & delish. I made one large circular cake (took about 50 mins) and sandwiched it with cream cheese icing. Lasted extremely well without drying out.

    Submitted by ssgas on 19. September 2014 - 08:19.

    My aunty is known for her red velvet cupcakes and I'm afraid I've now outdone her with this recipe! I only used 250g of sugar (1/2 caster sugar and 1/2 coconut sugar), as I thought that was a huge amount of sugar to use. Next time I will reduce it even more. As for the icing, I just followed the one in the Everday Cooking cookbook and it made exactly enough for the amount of cupcakes I made. Thank you for sharing, it's a winner  Party

    This was amazingly delicious!!! Completely spot on. Loved every single bite!! I made as one cake. I think it took around an hour to cook.

    Submitted by adawson on 22. July 2014 - 15:46.

    Yum, and easy to make.

    However, this made a lot of cupcakes, and even more icing.  I got 12 regular size cupcakes and 18 mini cupcakes.  There was enough icing to sink a battleship!  I ended up throwing out a good 1/3 of it.  It's a lot of sugar in total too - just under 3/4 of a kilo.

    If you were to make this in a cake pan, you could cut the cake in half and put a layer of icing in between the two cake layers, plus icing for the top.  If I was to make this recipe again, that's probably what I'd do.

    Submitted by Cookapalooza on 14. June 2014 - 08:42.

    Yum! Theses are delicious and easy, thanks for the recipe. I skipped step 4 and put the buttermilk and colouring in the bowl with everything else in step 5. Also even though I made them last-minute and used butter and eggs straight out of the fridge (so the mix looked slightly 'curdled') they still baked to perfection.  The kids and their friends loved them.

  • This might be a silly

    Submitted by Lauren shakespeare on 17. March 2014 - 12:02.

    This might be a silly question but is this suitable to use in  cake pan rather than cupcakes?

    These are delicious, thanks for the recipe, so easy as well.  I have also made them into vanilla by just omitting the colouring and cocoa and increasing the flour to 300g
