    WOW! Incredible taste! I was almost put off by a couple of negative reviews, but I went ahead and made it and was so pleased. I can see where there would be a problem, but you have to beat both the batter and frosting a LONG time to get the texture and flavors. I highly recommend it and will make the frosting again and again in other recipes!

    I could only taste the flour and milk in the frosting. It was gross. The cake really didn't taste much like anything. Everyone I served it to thought the same. It was really pretty, just tasted like doughy flour to me - Sorry.

    Cake is delicious! Tasty and light. Frosting is AWESOME. Nice and creamy. I made cupcakes for my son's high school graduation... huge hit!! I think the key to both the batter and frosting is to really beat the sugar and butter mixture until light and fluffy.

    Oh wow! I just can't say enough about this cake! The cake will only turn out dry if you overbake it, and I baked mine 17 minutes and it was done. I then stuck it in the freezer until cold. The icing is the absolute best and I will never use another recipe. (I used 2% milk in the icing and whole milk plus tsp vinegar to make "buttermilk" in the cake and no problems. I put strawberry slices and a mint leaf on each slice of cake. So good, and so pretty! Also, double the frosting!! There will not be enough to go around if you don't...plus a little extra for midnight snacking never hurt anyone :

    I saw the show where The Pioneer Woman made this cake. I made it today, and it is absolutely wonderful!! I gave some to my daughter, and she loved it. I then gave some to my neighbor also! This recipe is a keeper!! I always cook and bake from scratch, and this is an excellent cake, not too sweet, and just right. I'm going to try another of her recipes soon!

    I am so glad the frosting is easy to make, because it's now a family favorite! I have used it for several different flavors of cake, and it never fails. It pipes beautifully too!

    I am rating this 5 stars mainly because of the frosting. The cake was Ok but I prefer my red velvet to have a little more chocolate and this had so little, it was just OK not great. I think I will use a different cake recipe next time. But the frosting....it is SO GOOD! Definitely make this frosting recipe!! To avoid the crunchiness of the sugar in the frosting, you must cream the butter and sugar VERY well until fluffy (and scrape down the bowl often and you will have smooth, silky frosting.

    I haven't made the cake yet but I made the frosting, it was very easy and very delicious, I will make it again and again. I hate the butter cream frosting with cups and cups of powdered sugar they are so sweet I gag. This frosting recipe is a winner!

    I have my grandmother's recipe for this cake and frosting so when I watch the Pioneer Woman make this cake on TV the other day it brought back somany memories. It was also my late son's favorite cake and was requested on his birthday. Her recipe is almost exactly li8ke my grandmother's so I tried it. I took the cake with the flour frosting to a Scrapbook Retreat of 38 women and it was a "BIG HIT".
    Your baking soda needs to be fresh and you need UNSALTED butter.
