The deep red colour, flavour and texture of Red Velvet cake make it the undisputed star of Valentine\u2019s Day, but why not experiment with a Canarian twist<\/em><\/h3>\n

Red velvet cake makes the perfect Valentine\u2019s Day centrepiece, but it is better still if it is homemade. It\u2019s so popular, that you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding a recipe, but why not lend it a personal touch and give it a Canarian twist? After all, cooking and baking are all about letting your creative hair down.
\nDon\u2019t worry about sticking to the classic ingredients, feel free to experiment. One way to elevate the sponge, for example, is to soak it in a syrup made with Canary Island honey rum for a super smooth, spongey texture with a little kick. Alternatively, you could add chopped guava jelly to the cake if you think the flavours work well together and aren\u2019t afraid to play with texture.
\nThe classic red frosting is typically made with buttercream, fondant or any other type of icing. But for your Canarian version, try using Canarian cream cheese or a ganache made with natural goat yoghurt.
\nFor the finishing touch, sprinkle with toasted gofio (a traditional flour made with ground, roasted corn). Another delicious option is to add a pop of colour and flavour with powdered (or juiced) Canary Island prickly pear, a versatile ingredient prized by top local chefs.
\nRemember, these are just suggestions. It\u2019s up to you to experiment and see how the flavours and textures combine. A challenge awaits, but give it a try and let us know how it turns out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
