The chocolate base is filled with red velvet, there is a middle icing layer, then the top is a dome shape (but there are 2 layers of roses to give it depth).

I made these delicious pancakes for our first Valentine's Day. They are a great special-occasion treat.

Ingredients | Giant Cupcake Red Velvet

2 cups milk

2 tablespoons white vinegar

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup white sugar

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

2 ¼ teaspoons red food coloring

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

cooking spray

6 ounces cream cheese, softened

3 tablespoons butter, softened

1 cup confectioners' sugar

¼ cup milk, plus more if needed

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

Whisk 2 cups milk and vinegar together in a bowl; let rest until milk sours, about 2 minutes.

Sift flour, white sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl; whisk to combine.

Whisk milk mixture, melted unsalted butter, eggs, red food coloring, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract together in a bowl.

Pour milk mixture into flour mixture and stir until just combined; the batter should be lumpy.

Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat and spray with cooking spray. Drop batter by 1/4-cup onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven.

Beat cream cheese and softened butter together in a bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup confectioners' sugar, 1/4 milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until smooth, adding more milk to reach desired consistency. Pour cream cheese glaze over pancakes and dust with remaining confectioners' sugar.

To avoid browning the red pancake, cook at a lower heat and flip early. These pancakes are delicate so use a large flexible spatula.

For the glaze you can use an electric mixer if you like. I use a potato masher to blend the butter, sugar, and cream cheese, then whisk in the milk. Store glaze in a resealable plastic bag with the end snipped off for easy drizzling.

You can substitute 2 cups buttermilk for the 2 cups milk and 2 tablespoons vinegar.
