This is a cake fit for a queen! It was an entry in the Grocery Glow Up event created by two Instagram users: @sweet_tooth_by_drj and @thrifty_cakes. They both challenged their followers to take a store-bought dessert and give it a makeover. This inspired Rubi to create her regal recipe featuring one of our Red Velvet cake rolls.

A Charlotte Royale is a classic molded dessert that uses slices of rolled caked to line a mold or bowl which is then filled with custard, cream, or jelly. It’s a stunning cake that will allow you to effortlessly impress your guests. And we mean effortlessly; Rubi’s recipe allows for a stress-free baking experience. Now, you can try this show-stopping treat for yourself!

   3. Pour both into a medium bowl and slowly whip them together until fluffy.
6. Cover the cake roll slices in the bowl with about half an inch chocolate frosting.
