I know Fudge Marble but never heard of red swirl? Does anyone have a recipe or know how I should do this?

Interesting, it seems that either DH or Pillsbury offered a raspberry swirl angel food cake mix at one time...

All of the other recipes I found, were variations of the aboveicon_smile.gif

Initially, I thought this would be a strawberry marble cake - who knew?

Maybe red velvet swirls? That's the first thing that came to my mind?!

Anyone know how I could make red velvet swirls in a french vanilla cake?
Would it work if I made up some red velvet batter and swirled it in?
Help!

I like the idea of raspberry or strawberry swirl. If you use cake mixes you could make the strawberry flavor batter and drop by spoonfuls into your vanilla and then with a knife, swirl it through your batter.

Thank you, I guess that would work the same for the red velvet cake mix. Should the two batters be the same consistency?

I would do it with the same consistancy although I've never done that before. I just made a white choclate raspberry cheesecake and I used this method to swirl the raspberry puree in it.
I think you'll be fine using the same consistancy though. Good luck!

Cindy, you're the one who made the turkey cake (I was looking at your photos)! I saw that in the gallery. That is sooo awsome and it looks like a real turkey!!

Hi! yeah.... sorry I should have explained my reply better!

I meant that I would maybe make a red velvet batter and vanilla/white batter and swirl the two like a regular marble cake. Maybe try it as an experiment before the doing the order?

I would ask the person who requested the cake what they meant by red swirl cake, after all that is who you are trying to please. If someone asks me to do something I haven't heard of before, I ask for details that way I get the order right.
