Below is pictorial instructions of assembling and decorating this cake.
Baked two 6″ cake sponge. I was lucky enough to get a super flat cake base so there wasn’t a need to level it.
Brushed some pineapple juice on the cake sponge , filled this cake with heavenly white chocolate mousse frosting and canned pineapple chunks . Crumb coated it with white chocolate mousse. Refrigerated for 30 minutes . Put a final coat of cream , placed in the fridge to set 20-30 minutes. And finished it off with sweetened coconut flakes. Pure bliss!
Then decorated it with prepared toppers and inverted a round glass vase as globe .
Placed a ribbon bow to make it more festive and tadaa!! adorable, isn’t it 🙂
Anyone for a delicious slice !!
Yum Yum ! Had 2 fat slices in one go 🙂
Final Note – As much I love Red Velvet Cake , always use coloring in your food responsibly . This is not everyday cake for me considering the amount of food color goes into it. I make it on request only and say once in a year or two.

Ikonkar , trust me buttermilk is there in this cake for a reason. It’s just thinned out yogurt. If you go through the comments you can read how so many readers have tried and tested this recipe with satisfaction. Follow the recipe as is.
Sorry Ishita, sometimes these calculators can go off. I will look into it. How many servings are we looking at?
