    Yum! Just made 2 9x12s of this and wow! Not too chocolatey. Good cake but the icing is going to be my new icing!

    Ree is my all time favorite cook and I never miss her show. This is a first "fail" for me/her! I made it tonight to have for our Christmas eve celebration tomorrow. What in the world was I thinking? I ALWAYS make Terri Wahls (something like that, who won the Throwdown with Bobby Flay red velvet cake and it is to die for (but pain to make because you have to weigh your ingredients as they're in ounces!.... but its SO worth the trouble! Anyway, I thought this was much easier and couldn't be bad if Ree made it! Boy was I wrong.

    The cake: dry/spongy/flavorless. (yes, I know not to over beat the cake,etc
    The icing: gag. had the taste of eating a stick of butter, and my mouth has a slippery coating now!... not good... not even "ok" Will have to stick to a yummy, cream cheese frosting (like the woman who won the throwdown makes!

    Sorry Ree... I'm still your biggest fan and think you are PRECIOUS... but this cake needs to be removed from your site. :(

    this frosting is one most of us from the south grew up with..the original Red Velvet cake was not made with cream cheese .Also, it is not a fluffy cake, but a heavier, denser cake. The first time I was presented with cream cheese icing on a red velvet cake I was quite surprised. Coconut sprinkled on top is also a tradition to many of us. So for those of you who are not used to the original fluffy white icing, and have only tasted or made it with cream cheese icing give this a chance...it really is very good.. I love cream cheese but for me it overpowers a red velvet cake.

    Most of the recipes on her site turn out great -- but this one was a dud for me. Cake was dull and tasteless, and on the heavy side. The icing was good -- but I substituted cream cheese for half of the butter

    I would definitely make this cake again. Loved the Frosting, haven't made anything like this before. Maybe would increase the ratio of Cream cheese to Butter next time, just to see if it's a tiny bit more cream cheese flavor. Great Recipe.

    The frosting definitely tasted like butter...just butter. It was strange to be eating whipped butter on my cake. The cake itself really didn't have much flavor either. The cook time was too long...recipe should say baking time 17-20 mins, depending on oven. Not worth the multiple steps. The knock-you-naked brownies are a more reliable dessert and much easier to make.

    Cake has nice flavor and is very moist. I did increase the cocoa powder to two full teaspoons for a richer taste.
    For the frosting, I substituted two full cups of confectioners (powdered sugar instead of using granulated sugar. The result was a wonderfully smooth frosting that was less labor intense ..(not requiring as much beating and had a velvety, easy to spread consistency and was incredibly delicious.

    Loved this cake AND the frosting. My mom used to make a frosting very much like this one and would fill her freshly made Long John sweet rolls with it - she used to call it her Twinkie filling : Using it on the cake was equally as tasty : Thanks Lee for another great recipie!!
