When I think of my perfect festive celebration cake, it would probably be this. This is my Berry Red Velvet cake and it might have a festive name but trust me it has everything you know love about the classic.


Four layers of light, moreish velvety sponge sandwiched together with sweet tart berry jam. Wrapped in a creamy, tangy cream cheese frosting, this really does need to be on your table this Christmas.





You won't need any eggs or any dairy, and the best part is it's super simple to make!



Berry Red Velvet Cake


Here’s Why You’ll Love This Berry Red Velvet Cake:


  • soft and tender with the perfect combination of vanilla and chocolate flavour

  • Simple ingredients and very little equipment needed - you can make these without a stand mixer

  • Easy enough for all beginner bakers

  • Made without eggs or dairy it can be made vegan and adapted for allergies



Key Ingredients

  1. Brown Sugar: Light brown sugar for flavour and texture

  2. Dairy Free Butter: You’ll need it for the buttercream

  3. Dairy Free Yoghurt: I recommend using yoghurt with at least 2% fat content. This recipe has been tested with both dairy and nondairy milk - soya is my favourite!

  4. Self raising flour: for a well risen sponge

  5. Red food colouring: I recommend using an extra strength paste - this will ensure you achieve the beautiful red colour for the sponge



We are going to make our sponge first. Simply whisk the wet ingredients together and then sift in the dry - all you need is one whisk and a bowl!
