    A very tasty and moist cake! After reading the reviews I made a couple of modifications (hence the four stars. I upped the cocoa to 2 tablespoons and used apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar because it's sweeter. Yes the layers are thin but I think it's a good cake to icing ratio.

    I used this recipe to make red velvet cupcakes and they were a IG HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I followed the recipe to a tee and used a 1/4 cup measuring cup to put the batter into the cupcake cups. I baked them for 20 minutes and they came out perfectly!!!
    Thanks Cakeman!!!!

    I loooove this recipe. The first time I made it I was a lil off so it didn't come out as good, but the second time I was smiling from ear to ear because it was too good.

    Cake is very moist. Frosting was very tasty. Made this for my husband and his coworkers, and cake was gone in 15 mins. Everyone raved how good it was. I used 1 1/2 more of cocoa, and only 1 1/3 of oil. Make sure buttermilk is room temp. This will be my go to recipe. Thanks Cake Man Raven!

    The cake was good and very, very red, but I wish it had been more moist. I will try shortening the cooking time or using a tad less flour next try. However, this frosting recipe is the BEST cream cheese type I have ever had--it is now my default recipe. Thanks, Cakeman Raven!

    Rookie move that I didn't read the reviews before I made this. Got sucked in by the video and the whole Bobby Flay throwdown. I just assumed this would be a great recipe. NOT! There is not enough batter for 3 pans. They come out like an inch thick each which makes the cooking time all off. My kids said it tasted like cornbread. It wasn't dry, just crumbly. The taste was weird. Too much oil. The entire cake went into the garbage after we all tried a slice.

    I have never made RVC before and only ate it twice. Once out of a box and the other form a Deli. Now that we've tasted it, I'm unsure if it's the recipe or my mistake. I over baked it and that may be why it came our very dry, but 1tsp of cocoa is not enough IF I make it again I will up the cocoa and watch my timer closer.

    It was the 1st time I baked from scratch. It was an easy step-by-step process. It was really good! My family & friends enjoyed it very much. Can wait to make it again. I'm sure anyone who tries it will agree: easy & delicious mmm good :

    I tried the recipe for the first time over the holidays and I was throughly impress. One, because this was my first time making a RVC from scratch and secondly, it turned out perfectly! The recipe was easy to follow & my family loved it! I am making another one tomorrow for a co-worker. Thanks Food Network!
