You will need

Cake

2 extra large eggs, at room temperature
¾ cup (180 ml) canola oil
¼ cup (60 g) butter, melted
¾ cup (180 ml) fresh full cream milk, warmed
1 x 580 g Ina Paarman’s Red Velvet Cake Mix

Filling

2 cups (500 ml) fresh cream
5 T (75 ml) Ina Paarman’s Lemon Flavour Cheesecake Mix
gold dust for decorating (optional)

Method

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 180°C. Line the base of a swissroll pan, 36 cm x 25 cm, with baking paper.

Mix cake according to box instructions. Pour mixture into swissroll pan and bake for 15 minutes. Turn out onto a wire cooling rack and cool completely.

Half whip the cream then sprinkle over the dry Cheesecake Mix and beat until firm.

Divide the cake in half to make two slabs.

Spread ⅓ of the cream on one half of the cake. Place the best side on top. Generously pipe the remaining cream over the tops of the cakes.

Cut into neat portions. Sprinkle with gold dust if using.
