Foodie help! Red velvet cake recipe

DH's birthday is next week and has requested a red velvet cake.  I've never made one from scratch so I want to try it this time.  What's the best red velvet cake recipe you know?  Want to do a homemade frosting too!

Re: Foodie help! Red velvet cake recipe

  • I would recommend checking out http://www.crumblycookie.net/2009/02/12/red-velvet-cake-comparison/. It is a comparison of red velvet recipes. I really like the recipe from Apple a Day.

    I use Cream Cheese Icing for my red velvet and I normally use Wilton's Cream Cheese Recipe! :)

  • Oh wow, that's perfect!  Thanks, K!!  I think I'll try the Apple a Day one too.  Mmmmmm... so excited (and hungry) now!

     Oooh, going to look for the sugar cookie post.  I'm very particular about my sugar cookies and have been searching for the perfect recipe (as close as possible to Potbelly's).

  • Ok, I haven't "officially" tried this cake yet.  I didn't finish it until after 10pm last night and then put it in the fridge to chill.  But I tasted the part I cut off when I leveled off the layers and the frosting and it was AWESOME.  Thanks so much everyone for the rec to that blog!  Really looking forward to cutting into the cake tonight!
