Sel was a writer for the local women's mag, Simply Her, for over a year, and part of her job scope was to feature recipes from local and foreign bakers. For this issue, she featured celebrity chef Rachel Allen's recipe for red velvet cake (and apparently it was a thrill to meet her as well!)... but since the chef had to rush home for back-to-back press conferences, Sel made the cake for the photoshoot!
The cake itself was luscious and moist, with a hint of cocoa, and complemented the sweetness of the frosting well. Sel went for a denser cake, which was still soft, but meant that anyone who tried the cake (those lucky colleagues!) were full after just a small slice. The perfect choice for afternoon tea after the shoot.
What we made:
- Red Velvet Cake
- Decorated with home-made white frosting
