This is my all time favorite red velvet recipe. I love the icing and since I've found this recipe, I make the cake for any reason I can make up
I just tried red velvet this weekend using the WASC recipe and it turned out great-used the red velvet cake mix and then substituted out part of the flour for cocoa powder and added some additional red food coloring to the water in the recipe!
Have you ever topped with something other than cream cheese frosting?
I was asked to make something for a shop who wants the cake to represent her salon. Which colors are red and black. So my idea was red velvet cake(for the red) and covering in ganache because I want to make a bunch of small cakes instead of one large. How do you think that would taste?
That would be mine!

I have used white chocolate buttercream to ice RV. Very good combo.
My all time fav & it's always moist & gets great reviews.
Quick Red Velvet Cake
1 pkg German Chocolate Cake Mix W/ Pudding
1 C Sour Cream
1/2 C Water
1/4 C Vegetable Oil
1 oz bottle Red Food Color
3 Lg Eggs
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease & flour 2-- 9" cake pans.
Place ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Blend on low for 1 min. Stop & scrape down sides. Mix on medium for 2 to 3 min, until well blended---I usually do 30 sec on low then 1 1/2 to 2 min on med. Divide batter into 2 pans & place in oven.
Bake until they spring back when lightly pressed with your finger & they start to pull away from the sides--about 28-30 min. Remove from oven & cool on rack for 10 min. Run a dinner knife around each layer & invert onto rack. Allow to cool completely, about 30 min.
Store in a cake saver or covered in wax paper in the fridge for up to 1 week. Freeze wrapped in aluminum for up to 6 weeks. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. (of course this is w/ the cream cheese frosting)
I think mine's the best ever, and it got rave reviews from a bride who said her southern grandmother's been making her RV for her birthday every year all her life. When she tasted mine, she said, "Oooh. Grandma is SO fired."
I can't post it now, but if you search my posts I've posted it probably several times on here before. Let me know if you can't find it.
I fill it with cheesecake-flavored IMBC, and it's one of my most popular cakes.[/b]
