amazing taste but not a pretty sight. I followed Chefptsj's review for mixing the blue coloring with ingredients, so it was not a tough task to make the batter. it was difficult fitting 3 round cake pans in my oven and so the top 2 cooked faster than the lower pan. I let cool in pans but had to run out of the house therefore I didn't take them out of the pan until a few hours later, and they did not want to come out of the pan. so the cake was not a pretty sight but it was amazing and al my guests loved loved loved it. it was even better 2nd day after being refrigerated.

Loved this recipe. I made it for my last baby shower. I made it a three layer in three shades of blue. It was the hit of the shower besides my belly. Loved it so much I'm making a red and blue version as the base of my oldest's 10th birthday surprise wrestling ring cake. My family loves red velvet recipes. The only thing is we're not big on buttermilk so I usually add vinegar to regular milk and let it sit for 10 minutes. Comes out pretty good:-

Being a baker by career & educator. Baking any cake that contains food color; 1st. the color must be stable or it will be a run off of color. (Being a color bleeder. I place vinegar in a glass soufflé cup (1 cup size, (stir with a plastic spoon; slow add 1 tsp. of sky blue powder; blend till smooth, wait. Add extract(has alcohol, smooth; add cocoa (natural, smooth, wait. Add 1/2 of the buttermilk, smooth. Let rest. Add to butter, sugar & eggs mixture and balance of buttermilk. Finish with flour mixture. This is my helpful learning suggestion for any baker lover.

The cake is very tasty although the frosting is even sweeter than most frostings. I like the combination a lot anyway. It was a fun cake to make! I had never put the ingredients together like that before. I will definitely make it again and even experiment with different colors.

This cake was a great addition to our Sunday family dinner. It was a little heavy but it was moist and flavorful. I like the twist on the cream cheese icing. It went on easily and tasted great, light and not as sickening sweet as some cream cheese icings can be.

This turned out very very tasty! Definitely a step above your standard birthday cake! Very moist and the texture is definitely not dry or crumbly. The cakes frosted easily and there was just enough frosting with the recipe below. The only changes I made were omitting the coconut and pecans in the frosting, to accommodate the guests at my son's birthday party. This cake was a big hit! <Now, can I just say ... I'm always disappointed when I see reviews that say, "Can't wait to make it" or "Looks disgusting" and then they give it a star rating. ARGH!>
