Red Velvet Bandwagon

THought i'd give  Red Velvet cakes a go. Heard so much about them. You can even buy the packet cake version. My best friend made it from the pack last weekend for her family. She got that many good comments, oohh aahh, yum, how did you make this. She bluffed her way through and her family are none the wiser.. She is a smart cookie.

yes, looking very messy, i know..

With my version, i just followed that old recipe of Boiled Chocolate Cake (google it) and added some pureed roasted beetroot for the color. I thought they were ok, well they must have been , they didnt hang around long enough to be iced/ frosted..
