Instructions

1. Cream the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Add the food colouring and vanilla and beat until well combined.
2. In a clean bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the milk and vinegar and leave for about 5 minutes.
4. Add half of the milk mixture and half of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until combined. Then add the rest of each and mix until combined.
5. Pour into a greased cake tin and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
6. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs with your fingertips, and set aside a handful of crumbs for decorating.
7. Let the cream cheese come to room temperature, then whip it lightly with a whisk or hand beater until softened.
8. Beat in the icing sugar until well combined.
9. Mix in the cake crumbs with a wooden spoon until lump-free, velvety and sticking together.
10. Roll 1 tablespoon portions of the mixture into balls and place on wax paper. Chill for at least a few hours until set.
11. Melt the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler until completely smooth.
12. Dip the chilled truffles in the melted chocolate, let excess drip off, and place on wax paper to set. Sprinkle with the reserved crumbs.
