    I usually don't bake .but yesterday when I baked it came out so good that I myself was happy. Laterin the day my kids and husband praised out and then it was a real achievement for me.

    I made this recipe with my 13 year old today and didn't read the reviews until we were halfway done. Big mistake. This cake was so bad we had to feed it to the dog! He had no complaints! The icing was awesome(so that is why it got one star though and we will use it on another red velvet recipe.

    I made this for the first time last Christmas and it was perfect! My youngest, who claims to dislike everything with cream cheese, loved it. I followed the recipe as it is and it wasn't oily, it wasn't dry....it had a great texture and my family and friends enjoyed it.
    I live right down the street from Gabriel's in Marietta, GA and throughout the year we buy the Red Velvet cupcakes but for the holidays, we'll make our own using her incredible recipe.
    Thanks Paula and cousin Johnnie!!

    I was really disappointed in this. It was very very oily and had no taste at all. I was making it for my daughter's birthday and ended up throwing it away and going with a different recipe.

    I made the cake but I used a different recipe for the frosting. The cake was a bit dry but it had a good flavor.

    Paula's is one of my favorite TV Chefs. This was my 1st time ever making a cake from scratch. I must have done something wrong- maybe a measurement because I didn't have enough batter for the 3rd cake pan. I made this cake for my sweetheart's birthday so I added one his favorite flavors/ingredients to the frosting...about a 1 1/2 cups of coconut flakes. fingers crossed he will still like it but at least it's made from the heart. The recipe seemed simple enough to follow although I had to borrow a sifter since I'm a novice. Guess I should have my camrea handy to capture my sweeties expression with the 1st bite of the cake so if it's awful, I might at least win a photo contest LOL

    The frosting is way too sweet and heavy. The original cooked frosting is lighter and tastes better with this cake

    I didn't make the cake just the frosting and it rocked! After reading the instructions I made double the amount and had plenty left. It was a little thin, even after I put in the fridge but delicious nevertheless. I suggest using whipped cream cheese, because I left the cream cheese and butter out for an hour partially mixed and then mixed and mixed again and I still had lumps. With what was leftover me and my daughter dipped strawberries in it and ate them. Yummo!

    This is the best red velvet cake I have ever tasted!!! However, I use 3 tablespoons of cocoa - instead of the 1 teaspoon. (Surely this is a typo! The frosting is over the top yummy! I always double it, and I do not add the nuts to the frosting - instead I use them as a decoration/garnish.

    This recipe is the bomb the cake was gone the first day I made it . This was my first red velvet cake ever and I have another in the oven right now by popular demand . I didn't make the 3 layers because I don't have those pans ... I used a bundt pan and it came out perfect
