Made this five years ago for Thanksgiving, now I HAVE to make if for every family event! EVERYONE LOVES IT! I even sold a few cakes! I just finished a batch of cupcakes using this recipe for my cousin's graduation party (made 30 cupcakes. I like making these as cupcakes as I can have some with and without nuts. Thanks Paula!

Thank you Paula, this recipe was wonderful, the cake was perfectly moist and the icing was a dream to put on the cake. I loved the way it almost self frosted the sides.

My daughter and I made this for her birthday. It was excellent, very moist with great flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, used unsalted butter. But I made regular cream cheese icing instead of the icing listed above after reading some of the reviews. I'll definitely be making this one again.

The frosting was perfect! The cake on the other hand was really heavy. Cake is supposed to be light and fluffy. The flavor was there but something just wasn't right with the cake. I'll try it again and maybe cook it for less time.

Best cake I have ever made. I added one more egg and 1 tablespoon of oil to the cocoa and food coloring mixture. For the icing, I used less sugar.

Made this for my daughter's 14th Birthday(she asked for a red velvet cake??. She totally loved it and her friends was stunned to see a blood red cake..lol. Moist, silky and so soft. The frosting was so yummy with the pecans but next time will omit the marshmallows,had a bit of trouble with it. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you Ms. Deen:

I love this recipe. I add more red dye because I like it extra red. I also add 2 extra eggs and a tablespoon or two of oil, I come out with a moister cake. Just my preference. Enjoy!
