Method

1. Preheat & prep: Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease or line a 12-hole larger cake or muffin tray.

2. Make the batter: In a large bowl, prepare the red velvet cake batter according to packet instructions. Add 2 scoops of Glow Shakes and whisk until smooth and fully combined.

3. Bake: Divide batter evenly between the 12 moulds. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool completely before decorating.

4. Decorate: Carefully slice the top off each cake if needed to flatten the surface. Layer 6 mini cakes with whipped cream and then place the other 6 mini cakes on top of each. Layer whipped cream again on top with sliced strawberries or raspberries, and a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate.
