For those of you who find yourselves baking the same Red Velvet cupcakes over and over again, here are some delicious and unusual cake recipes to try:
Lemon Chiffon Cake by Wilton:
Chiffon cake has the most wonderful light and airy texture that comes from whipping the egg whites and sugar into meringue mix, then folding it into the rest of the batter. It’s also delicious with fruit compote instead of a glaze.
Chocolate Guinness Cake by Nigella:
Even if you don’t like Guinness, you will like this cake; the first time I tried it I was about 13 years old – totally not a stout fan. As Nigella notes, “I can’t say that you can absolutely taste the stout in it, but there is certainly a resonant, ferrous tang”. Okay, maybe saying ferrous doesn’t sell it that well, but trust me. It’s delicious.
Banana Bread Tres Leches Cake by How Sweet Eats:
This is sticky and gooey and utterly divine. The caramelised bananas are optional but they really take it to another level. The writer also has a way with words – see the instruction “poke a ton of holes in the top with a fork”.
