This is my very first attempt in baking red velvet cake. But the cake didn’t turn out as red as I want it to be. I guess it’s because of the chocolate powder I used, it’s too dark. But I do love the texture! It is very moist and the cream cheese frosting is amazing! You can check out the recipe here in Mbak Ria’s web: http://icip2didapur.blogspot.com/

These were the results. Thanks to my teacher Hera (www.heidyscake.com) for such a valuable lesson
