Based on recipe from Hummingbird Bakery.
For those who saw my awful attempt at a multi-coloured cake, may wonder why I go back to this. I am one of those people who wonders too.
Anyhoo, I am getting a bit more interested in cakes of a more interesting format, e.g. ring, bundt, and stumbled across a Red Velvet Bundt recipe through one of those 'you may be interested in...' links.
Having tried the Hummingbird Bakery recipe for cupcakes, and the unfortunate multi-coloured cake, I was wary of trying a new set of ratios, so figured I'd use the 'old faithful' instructions, and stick the batter in a bundt.
I chickened out, as I have had a bad experience when making a spontaneous bundt, and opted for a layer cake instead.
I made a spare cupcake to crumble over the top, which was inspired by the bundt recipe.
The result was a very even light cake. I could probably have levelled the layers, and used more icing inbetween them, however I feel that is a waste of cake, and I wasn't sure how much I'd have left to ice the rest of the cake.
Overall I was pleased, however I need to learn to be more generous with icing.
There is something in red food dye that irritates my mouth, so I couldn't really have the cake.
