I am a southern girl so it had to be Red Velvet Cake. I mean is there anything better to make you feel like all is right with the world?
I have tried tons and tons of Red Velvet recipes over the years and I've recently found one that I love! It was over at Moments of Twenty. My only modifications to this recipe are that I don't make a paste out of the cocoa and food coloring. I add them in separately. I don't like how the paste can be lumpy... And I use CREAM CHEESE FROSTING. I do love the icing recipe featured in the post but not for Red Velvet Cake. For me, Red Velvet Cake must have Cream Cheese Frosting. It's just a law in my world.
This cake makes everything better!

Jenn,
ReplyDeleteLast year on Elena's birthday, I made that "best icing"--the exact one, and I put it ALL OVER MY bunny cake, and
IT IS NOT GOOD!!! So I would recommend sticking with cream cheese...that other one, it just ...
It had a good texture for spreading etc., but it just did not do icing justice, and I guess that is just a matter of what we all like, right? :)
I'm so glad this cake helped you feel better :) cake has that effect on me too! I think cream cheese icing would be delicious as well, you can't go wrong!
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks very pretty and I'm sure it tastes good too!
ReplyDeleteWow does that cake look fantastic. Cannot wait to try it out. We are southern girls too! Come over and visit us. We have a terrific apple turnover recipe to share.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful cake! I agree about the cream cheese frosting.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of Red Velvet Cake, too. It always reminds me of Christmas since my aunt makes it for the holidays every years. Yours looks delicious! Thanks for sharing on Sweet Indulgences Sunday.
