Recipe Information
Step by step guide to making Red velvet loaf with berry frosting
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas mark 4. Grease a 2lb (900g) loaf tin and line with baking parchment.
- Put 100g of the butter in a bowl with the light brown sugar and beat with a hand-held electric whisk until light and fluffy. Beat in one egg at a time with 1 tablespoon of the flour.
- Use a wooden spoon to stir in the food colouring, yogurt and vanilla extract. Fold in the remaining flour with the cocoa powder until smooth.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 50-55 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack.
- Make the frosting: put the remaining butter in a bowl and use a hand-held electric whisk to beat until smooth, then beat in the icing sugar. Add the soft cheese and beat until thick and pale.
- Spread over the cooled cake, then top with the defrosted berries and spoon over the reserved juices.
