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 was actually the first cake I made from "scratch." I am sad to report that I produced a "red cornbread" with delicious icing. Is it me, or should the cake part (not the icing be more sweet? I noticed when it was cooking I could not smell sweetness.

CORRECTION: I tasted the cake immediately after it came out of the oven and worried that it was not good. It seemed not to have a flavor. HOWEVER, after it was iced and under a cake holder for a few hours, it must have marinaded. It is sweet and wonderful. Sorry for the earlier negative post.

The recipe is pretty simple and easy to make. It tastes ok. But it's just not as good as I expected. Still looking for a better red velvet cake recipe.

This cake is terrible! I would describe it as dry, and bitter. The icing is the only good thing about this recipe.

This was my first time baking a red velvet cake from scratch. Preparing the batter for the cake was so simple and easy, and the smell after putting the ingrediants together was appetizing. Prep for the frosting was easy too. My cake turned out moist and tasty. To much pecan, will cut in half next time I bake this cake ( and I will bake it again.

I don't know why some people gave this cake less than three stars. I followed this recipe (with a few modifications, of course. I added 1 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 cup butter, 1 1/2 Tbsp cocoa and 1 tsp coffee granules.The cream cheese frosting came out so fluffy. One thing though. I did not add the complete quantity of sugar specified for the frosting. Figured it will turn out too sweet. Good idea, that turned out to be. We loved that little bit of tang in the icing. And the color of the cake with the color of the icing looked so pretty.
This Red velvet cake was the perfect end to our crazy Christmas lunch :

I really enjoyed this. Wasn't the buttery rich consistency I was hoping for being used to much more richer red velvet cakes in the past. But still great. Will definitely make again, or at minimum use the frosting recipe with another cake recipe for the red velvet part.

I made this cake for my husband last Valentine's Day and he now requests it for every holiday! I made it again for Christmas and our guests all wanted the recipe. I make this cake using cake flour and I make a little extra frosting so there is plenty to go between all layers. It is moist and delicious. Definitely a favorite at our house.
