    This is a wonderful cake with a perfect, not too sweet frosting. It makes a beautiful presentation.
    I am going to use this frosting for many other deserts as it could work for cakes, cupcakes and cinnamin rolls.

    I made this cake last night and I must say it didn't taste very good. The cake was dry and had a odd taste to it. Anyway, if any of you read my review please look up a different recipe because this one is not very tasty:(

    This has to be the most delicious cake I have prepared. I am glad I didn't get overted by the few negative reviews. I didn't end up with quite enough frosting and will probably use 1.5 times the recipe next time, but the cake was moist and had an extremely unique flavor. Everyone at work raved that it was the best cake they had ever had, even my husband who is not much for sweets loved it. Thank you so much for this recipe.

    I highly recommend wearing plastic or latex gloves when you make this recipe -- that red food coloring is a menace, and there is a TON of it. Do not make this recipe when you are rushed, be slow and deliberate or your kitchen will look like a scene from a murder movie! Wash all utensils very slowly and thoroughly, unless you want bits of dried coloring springing back to life the next time you use that spatula. Not sure the trouble is worth it -- this is definitely more about looks than flavor, but it sure is red!

    This is almost exactly like my grandmothers Red Velvet Cake. It is rare to find a recipe that does not have a cream cheese icing (I personally don't like it with cream cheese icing, but most people are used to it so they tend to like it better. I'm glad to see this one out there.

    I made this cake for my daughter's Spiderman birthday party and it was a HUGE hit!! My cake was extremely moist and yummy!! I didn't make the frosting though. I used regular buttercream.

    I've never been a fan of red velvet cakes---never could understand what all the fuss was about until I ate this cake brought to my house by my mother-in-law. This is not the typical southern red velvet cake, but it is delicious. The flavor was wonderful and the icing (which is NOT a cream cheese icing! was light and not too sweet. I'm having it for my breakfast as I read the reviews and downloaded the recipe so I could make it for New Year's Eve.
