The cake was good however the icing was very very liquid. The call was for 4 cups of xxx sugar along with 1 lb of cream cheese and 2 sticks of butter. I increased the xxx sugar to 10 cups and it still ran off the cake. What a big mess and disappointment!

This cake was very easy to make, but did not rise very much. May try using baking power instead of baking soda. After baking, it still looked and felt to moist, but great taste. Will look for another recipe.

The cake is very moist but the flavor is not great. I made the first batch to a 'T' and I could smell and taste the vinegar. The second batch, I added more cocoa and it came out a little better.

I absolutely love this recipe! Everytime I make it, people don't stop telling me what a great baker I am. My boyfriend doesn't ever like cakes, and he loves this one!

Every other red velvet that I've tried falls short: people think red velvet cake is chocolate cake with red food coloring and cream cheese frosting--it's not!! It has just a hint of cocoa for flavor, but its the buttermilk that gives the taste! It's a very rich, different tasting cake that most others, and without the frosting, it's not very sweet. That might be why some reviews say it's bland.

Again, I absolutely love this cake AND Cakeman Raven! And I am still searching for a bakery/resteraunt cake that comes close.

PS. I am currently working on a recipe that will make a "Velvet Harvest Cake" for fall time. I'm planning on adding cinnamon/nutmeg/other fall spices. Anyone have suggestions?

Delicious! I've used this recipe three different times for occasions and it's always a big hit. Very moist and tasty. I'll admit, all three times, at least one of the two cakes didn't come out of the pan in one piece - which always gives me a headache. It's simple to patch up though and ice over.

Recipe does not yield 1 8 inch round let alone 3 9 inch rounds. The taste was terrible when cooked even the part that was under baked. The consistency of the batter is beautiful and yet when the cake cooks it was very wet and loose until the last second so it makes it hard to judge when to pull it out. There is no leeway fro mistakes either. The cake is tangy like buttermilk but has a bitter aftertaste. It was not very cake like nor delicious. Yuck
