Ok...I was just asked a few hours ago to make a dessert/cake for Sunday...our extended family christmas get-together. I've got to get started tonight with the baking because I'll be doing pics with Santa in the morning, then belated anniversary dinner w/DH tomorrow night. Soooo.....I thought red velvet would be pretty simple to do. But when I looked at the recipes posted here...there are so many to pick from! I just want to be sure that the recipe I use tastes good & doesn't have that red food coloring taste to it.

Anyone have any suggestions/tried&true recipes?

i have a recipe for a red velvet cake that i have got lots of good feed back on. but it isnt a sratch recipe its made with a german chocolate cake mix. i would be more than glad to share it with you if you would like it. just let me know.
stacy,

I don't know if you prefer a scratch cake or not but DH Red Velvet mix is really pretty good, most like scratch IMO.

Thanks to both of you! But I don't have time to go to the store, and I have all the ingredients for a scratch red velvet on hand, already... That's why I was wondering about a recipe or opinions of the recipes posted here. I do appreciate your feedback, though!!

OK, I wish I had seen this before....but I have a recipe on here that is out of this world and its easy to do, it just takes some time to do it...I have had 4 emails from people on here telling me that it was delicious and that they were glad they made it for Christmas...try it some time and let me know what YOU think.....

I'll definitely do that! I may even need to make one at the end of January - client not quite sure yet on type of cake. If I do, I'll be sure to use yours! Thank you
