Red velvet cake with Cream Cheese buttercream and white choc! Even Toffee cake with Velvet vanilla Buttercream and Milk chocolate. The flavour combinations are endless!

Take a look at our full range of Easy Bake Cake Mixes, Natural Flavoured Icing Sugars, and Melt & Pour!

Ingredients

• Cake of your choice
• 250g batch of flavoured Buttercream of choice
• 300g Melt & Pour of your choice

Method

1. Break up your cake into the bowl of a stand mixer, and using the paddle attachment on a low speed, mix to break into crumbs.
2. Depending on the type of cake you have used, you may need to add a few tsp of buttercream now. We need to continue mixing until our crumbs form a dough.
3. Once a dough has formed, take it from the mixer bowl onto a piece of greaseproof paper. Place another sheet of greaseproof on top and roll into a rectangle roughly 1cm thickness.
4. Remove the top sheet of paper and trim your cake dough into a perfect rectangle.
5. Now spread your buttercream onto the surface of the cake dough.
6. Using the bottom paper to assist you, roll the cake dough into a log.
7. Chill the log for roughly 20mins.
8. In a heatproof bowl, melt the Melt & Pour of your choice in short bursts in the microwave making sure to stir after every burst.
9. Place the log onto a cooling rack and pour over the melted chocolate. Use a palette knife or cake lifter to remove the log form the cooling rack before the chocolate has set too hard.
10. Decorate as you choose, or simply slice to eat with a coffee.
11. Enjoy your Festive Roll!
