| This is a true Southern Red Velvet cake recipe handed down from my great grandmother. You can ice w/cream cheese icing, but in our family, we prefer the coconut/pecan icing.
If making the coconut/pecan icing, read thru directions completely before starting cake as you need to start icing before cake. | |
