Think of it like a marble cake, but much more romantic. I start with a soft vanilla sponge and a raspberry‑coloured vanilla sponge (real raspberry puree, not flavouring), then swirl them together in the tin before baking. The result is a beautiful, hypnotic pattern – like a love letter in cake form. Then I cover it in a light vanilla buttercream and add a few fresh raspberries and a dusting of pink sugar on top. It’s sweet, it’s pretty, and it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, an anniversary, or any time you want to say “I love you” without words.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSomeone asked me a while back: “can you make a cake that’s pink and white swirled?
