Husband and I were sitting around on a Friday night when we both had a cake craving. He loves Red Velvet so I decided to indulge him, especially since he was willing to go to the store to get the missing ingredients. I found this recipe from Pinch My Salt and you must all try it ASAP! The only modification I did was not not use as much food coloring as the recipe called for. I only had two 0.25 vials of red food coloring and I really think it was plenty. I might even skip the food coloring next time.
(If you're not greedy like I was, let your cake cool fully
before you frost it. It'll be a lot prettier!)
Here's the link to her recipe: http://pinchmysalt.com/2008/11/10/red-velvet-cake-recipe/
I don't like my cream cheese frosting too sweet so here's what I used:
2 - 8 oz packages of cream cheese
1 stick of butter
1 tbsp of vanilla
1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar (maybe less...I usually taste it after each half cup addition).
Go bake it now!
MMmmmmm looks good!
