What is white velvet cake?

It’s like a red velvet cake – just without red food colouring and cocoa powder. It’s white thanks to egg whites and buttermilk. It’s a very soft and moist cake. Delicious.

MY TIPS FOR THE BEST WHITE VELVET CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES:

• strawberry puree – you can use fresh or frozen strawberries. Cook them with butter and brown sugar until soft. If needed, add ½ tbsp of cornstarch. Press them down with a fork and let them cool completely.
• do not overmix the whipping cream – I guess we all know why.
• slowly mixing for longer than have a bad cake – it’s really annoying when it comes to creaming and mixing the ingredients until creamy. But trust me – it’s worth it—cream butter with sugars properly for at least 8 minutes. Slowly incorporate the flour and buttermilk as well.
• cut cake layers when they are COMPLETELY cool – always! otherwise, they fall apart!
• you can brush the red velvet layer with rum – I mean, why not?
• if you don’t have three baking tins – use just one and rotate them in the oven.
• bake for long as the cake needs to be baked – it can also take more than 45 minutes! Use a toothpick to check if they are fully baked, as we don’t have the same oven.

How to make white velvet cake with strawberries:

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Prepare three baking tins with a diameter of 18 cm.

In a bowl, mix butter with sugars until very creamy. It can take up to 15 minutes.

Add oil, and vanilla syrup and mix until the oil is well combined. Keep on adding egg whites one at a time while mixing. Mix until combined. Take your time, and make sure the mixture is getting big.

In another bowl whisk together flour and baking powder. Add ⅓ of the flour mix into the mixture. Mix on slow speed. When the flour disappears, add ½ of the buttermilk. Mix until combined. Repeat the process until you add flour mix as last.

Take ⅓ of the mixture into a different bowl. Add red food colouring and mix until the mixture is red. Add cocoa powder and mix again.

Now you have a white mixture and a red mixture. Divide the white mixture into two pans. Bake all of them for 30-45 minutes until the toothpick comes out clean. Take them out of the oven and let them cool completely.

Cream

In a bowl whip the whipping cream until stiff. Make sure it’s not overmixed!

In another bowl cream the mascarpone cheese with icing sugar on slow speed. Sugar should be dissolved.

Add whipping cream to the bowl with mascarpone and stir well with a rubber spatula.

Cake

Cut the red velvet layer into two layers.

Start with a white velvet layer, add cream, pour strawberry puree on top of the cream and put red velvet layer on top. Repeat the process, and put another red velvet layer on top. Add cream, strawberry puree, and white velvet layer on top.

Now cover the cake with cream – top and sides. Push candy hearts into the cream and put fresh strawberries on top. Let in the fridge for 5 hours or overnight.
