Instructions to make Red Velvet Cake with Homemade Icing:
  1. Preheat oven to 180*C or Gas Mark 4. In a large bowl, mix the eggs, oil, water and cake mix for 2-3 minutes until nicely blended and thick consistency
  2. Place batter in desired tins nicely greased. You can choose to use one large tin and slice it in half, or 2 even size tins. [I did it in one tin and cut the batter in half]. Bake in oven for 28-32 minutes and leave aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the soft cheese until nicely soft. Once done, add in your icing sugar and whisk. Using another bowl, whisk the double cream and gently fold into the soft cheese. Add drop of vanilla essence and whisk final time for about 30 seconds, where the mix should be soft and fluffy.
  4. Once the cake is cooled, cut into 2 (if one batter was made) and apply your icing however you want.
  5. Top with fruits or leave plain and allow to set in fridge for 2-3 hours before eating

But if you're looking for something a little less sweet and very different to make, try this cooked flour frosting. This is a traditional Red Velvet Cake icing sometimes called Waldorf-Astoria Frosting. Other versions use butter in place of Crisco or have slightly more flour. I prefer the butter variety but this version is stable at room temperature due to the Crisco and the flavor trade-off is worth it when space in the fridge is at a premium. One bite, and you will save your cream cheese frosting for carrot cake!
