Keffiyeh Cake

A keffiyeh scarf inspired cake composed of chocolate chip red velvet sponge, green vanilla sponge and vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream. The sponges are soft, bright and playful, layered to echo the colours of fresh watermelon, with chocolate chips scattered through the red velvet sponge like little pips. Finished with a wrap of edible keffiyeh patterned icing, this cake looks and tastes like humanity. Absolutely delicious. From the Chef This cake is the sibling of our popular Watermelon Cake. A portion of proceeds from every Keffiyeh Cake sold is donated to Save the Children’s Gaza Appeal. It is still very much a celebration cake: red velvet chocolate chip sponge, green vanilla sponge and silky Swiss meringue buttercream in red, green and white, designed to reveal its watermelon layers when cut.
