Polka Dot Cake

Several years ago, I begged, pleaded and bribed my family for this Christmas cake plate for Christmas. And my son was so kind to his poor old mother that he bought her this cake plate.

The cake plate is beautiful and inspired me to make some fancy cupcakes a couple of years ago. 

But how about a Red Velvet Cake for this pretty cake plate. 

Beautiful, huh

Oh wait

It get better

Because I thought how much more fun would a red velvet polka dot cake be?

I mean on the inside

Is that not amazing?

No, I did not learn how to defy the laws of baking

But with the help of this blog, the cake pop baker and my lovely daughter, I baked cake pops with a white cake mix.

Used my sister’s fabulous red velvet cake recipe. But before the cake went into the oven, plopped the cake balls into the batter. 

My only mistake was not putting more cake balls in tightly. I should have also added a few halved cake balls. 

Bake the cake as normal, I had to add about five extra minutes to the red velvet baking time. 

But the cake came out perfectly. I would have thought the cake pops would have been dry but they were perfect even baked a second time in the cake.

How pretty is this cake?

I can imagine a beautiful polka dot cake for a bridal shower, Easter or any fancy girl occasion. It makes for a fun surprise when you cut the cake.
