Love Cakes

Happy Valentine's Day :)

To my husband. My love.

And to my parents who also celebrate their 33rd engagement anniversary today.

Recipe:
110 g butter, softened at room temperature 

110 g caster sugar 

2 eggs 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

2 tbsp red colouring 

110 g flour 

2 tsp baking powder 

2 tbsp milk 

• Cream butter and caster sugar till pale. 
• Beat in eggs one at a time. 
• Stir in vanilla extract and red food colouring. 
• Fold in the flour and baking powder, adding the milk till the batter is of folding consistency. 
•  Bake in oven at 180C for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown. Tip: You will know when your cake is ready when you poke a toothpick in and it comes out clean. 
• Cool the cake on a wire rack. Once cooled take it out of the pan and slice the cake about 1cm thick. Take a heart shaped cookie cutter and cut of the hearts. 
• Place either one on top of the other, stacking three of them like I did. Or simply lay them out on a plate. You can also choose to add buttercream in between cake layers. 

 Have fun baking! Let me know how it goes.
