Flavor Notes: cocoa-forward, gently spiced, winey-fruit depth, tangy cream cheese
Crumb: plush, velvety, tender-crumbed with a soft melt
Perfect for: gifting to a special someone, a way to say I love you, a way to say your love is as big as a silly little cake, as sparkly as a cherry that rests on top it.
Why this cake:
Red velvet is already a classic—our version just leans into the romance. Port takes the place of buttermilk, bringing a subtle dark-fruit warmth that makes the cake feel richer without making it heavy, while cinnamon threads through the background like a quiet love note. It’s layered with classic cream cheese buttercream, wrapped in vanilla buttercream petals, and finished with a glittered cherry
