Four Layer Red Velvet Pastry

About the Recipe

A red velvet cake is easily recognizable by its red color and white cream cheese frosting. This recipe shows how to make a four-layer velvet pastry with only a half-cup of flour and no eggs. The cake is baked on a stove. If you want a soft and spongy cake that is perfectly cooked, then use Oddy Ecobake, which provides the grease for the bottom of the baking tray and helps the cake bake evenly.
