I simply want to know why we would want a cake with a bottle of red food coloring in it. No one will answer that question for me. I admit that I didn't make it and probably never will unless someone can enlighten me by telling me what the point is. (I mean besides it being a deep red color. So I tried this cake and it was pretty good. I tried it WITHOUT the red food coloring and it was the same. Why oh why would we do this???

I loved this recipe, it was so easy to make and very delicious, one of my friends never stopped wating until it was finished the cake! The only thing i did differently, I made the cream chesse frosting with 900 grs of cream chesse and everything else the same.
This is going to be my red velvet favorite from now on!

The only thing I altered in this recipe was to use cake flour instead of all-purpose and use 1 tablespoon of cocoa instead of 1 teaspoon. The texture was truly very velvet like and baked evenly all the way through. Baked it in three 9" pans at 325 and they were done in 21 minutes. Each layer about 1-1/4" and was nice and flat on top.

The moisture was perfect and they were not oily in the least. Icing great too. The taste, color and texture were exactly what I was looking for in a red velvet cake.

There's a lot to like about this cake, including the simplicity of making it. This will now be my go-to red velvet cake. All the folks who tried this one absolutely raved about it and said, "this is it!"

This was my first time trying a red velvet cake recipe; It was very moist and very tasty. Based on some of the reviews, I opted to reduce the recipe's oil amount to 1 cup. I also added white chocolate to the cream cheese and made mini red velvet cakes instead of a layered cake. My family loved it. I will definitely use this recipe again.

This is the same recipe I have used for years. It is the favorite of my family. The cream cheese icing is different though mine is 1 stick of butter 1 pkg cream cheese, 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 cup finely chopped pecans.

I thought that this was amazing though I didn't make the cream cheese frosting along with the recipe so I don't know how that tasted but the cake is marvelous!

THE BEST RED VELVET CAKE RECIPE EVER!!!!!!!!
I love Red Velvet, that's my favorite cake. This is by far the Best Homemade Red Velvet Cake ever!
This was my first time baking a cake from scratch. I was nervous. But rest assured even though it was a lot of work, it was worth it!
The cake was moist, tender and not too sweet. It was a PERFECT kind of sweetness! Just remember to bake it as directed and no longer, or you risk over-baking it.
Although I have to say, the cream cheese recipe (frosting was not as I expected. The frosting was liquid-y. Maybe it was on my behalf or did anyone else have the same problem?
