If you thought Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting couldn’t get much better you should try this. The addition of fresh blueberries and raspberries makes this version of traditional red velvet cake very special indeed.

As with all red velvet cakes, brownies or red velvet cheesecakes, make sure you use a good quality red food colouring. The red food colouring has to be intense enough to overcome the brown of the cocoa and give you that deep garnet shade you are looking for. The Americolor brand is good and has a well-deserved cult following in the cake and cake decorating world. You can find it here: Americolor Super Red Food Coloring
