Oh Red Velvet, how I love thee. Seriously, I do. Red Velvet cake, in cake form or cupcake form, is probably my favorite cake of all times. Oh sure, I adore Chocolate cake and Carrot cake and Lemon cake but Red Velvet Cake is not only delicious, it sparks a wee bit of magical, childlike delight, deep in my soul. I think it's probably because it's like a present. You see a cake and your brain registers, "YUM"! Then it's cut open and you see that magnificent, rich, red color, and the little kid in you says, " Oh my gosh! I can't believe it! Wow!!!!" And then you are forever hooked on the magic that is, and can only be, Red Velvet Cake!!!! Do ya feel me out there? Oh, I think I can almost see you guys nodding your heads with me and I think I might have heard someone shout out an Amen! Okay, so I guess, Red Velvet Cake might make me get a little carried away with myself. I tell you it's the magic of the dang cake.
This recipe is at my new site. Hope to see you there :) I've posted a lot of new things.
