Hello viewers! This is the first livestream baking tutorial for this year. In this livestream I am going to show you how to make this Red Velvet Cake with a white buttercream icing around it. This is going to be one of the cakes that is going to be maroon-red in colour and it has an icing effect around the sides and on the top. This is going to be a cake where it says Comic Relief on top of the cake and can be made either for Comic Relief or for Sports Relief.

Cake Ingredients:
175g self-raising flour
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
150g caster sugar
2 eggs
150ml sunflower oil (or other flavourless oil)
150ml buttermilk
2 tablespoons red food colouring

Cream Cheese Frosting:
100g butter, softened
250g icing sugar
300g soft cheese

Instructions:
1: Heat the oven to 180°C / fan 160°C / 350°F / gas 4 and line two 18cm sandwich tins with baking paper. Stir the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Beat the eggs and add to the oil and buttermilk, then stir in the food colouring. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and then beat them together with an electric whisk until a smooth batter forms.
2: Divide the mixture between the tins and bake for 25-30 minutes or until risen and a skewer poked into the centres of the cakes comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
3: To make the frosting, beat the butter and icing sugar together until smooth, then beat in the soft cheese. Put a layer of frosting between the cake layers and then use the rest to frost the cake.
