My sister just requested a Red Velvet Cake for her birthday this weekend. Yes, this weekend, Christmas weekend!!! UUGGG!!!! I guess it isn't her fault she was born 2 days after Christmas, so she should still get her cake.

But since it is Christmas, and I am hosting our huge family for 5 days, I will not have time to "try" several different recipes.

What is your favorite Red Velvet Recipe? If you don't mind sharing that is.

Thanks!!!!

Mine would be Cakeman Raven's. You can google, it's everywhere on the web.

Below is a link to my Red Velvet taste test. 8 cakes, 25 tasters, and one winner.... Cake Man Raven's Red Velvet.

moreCakePlz, your taste test and the results along with the images are GREAT!

I've tried both Cakeman Raven's and Sarah's Red Velvet (as well as a couple of other forgettable ones). I personally liked Sarah's better, but you can't go wrong with either one.

Here's the link to Sarah's: http://cakecentral.com/recipes/7377/sarahs-red-velvet-cake-tweaked

I second the Sarah's Red Velvet. I have tried a lot of different recipes, and this is by far my, and everyone else's, favorite.

Sarah's all the way.

OK. Those are the two I was considering. I was hoping there would be a clear winner, but I guess not.

Has anyone tried both? If so, could you tell me the differnce between them?

Does anyone know if I can make my own buttermilk for those recipes with milk and vinager? They didn't have any at the store I went to, and would hate to pack the girls up again to go to another one.

Thanks again!!!

I always use milk and vinegar instead of buttermilk.
