2. Red velvet with cream cheese icing (Wenner rooi fluweelkoek) – https://www.foodloversrecipes.com/2013/05/wenner-rooi-fluweelkoek/
3. Lemon drizzle which was the sponge but with a lemon syrup drizzled over.
I’ve been experimenting! Cut 3 lemons in half, removed the pips, squeezed the juice into a saucepan, added a bit of water and sugar to taste and simmered with the lemon halves in the saucepan. Syrup was consistency of maple syrup, not golden syrup – better for getting entire cake moist but still leaves nice glaze!
4. All stacked using dowel sticks cut to size and cake boards as recommended by you! It was so sturdy!
Changes made to red velvet – gel food colouring (no fruity taste) and eggs separated and egg whites whisked and folded into the mixture last.
