Hello my fellow CC'ers. I have an order for a red velvet cake, my problem is that I am not familiar enough with the taste of rv. I have gone to many a restaurant and ordered some but really don't taste much either. (I am very good at calling out ingrediants to taste) Have read on these postings that there is supposed to be a hint of vinegar.
So then my question??? Can I just doctor up a box mix with vinegar and if so what kind would you suggest I use. ????
Need answer rather quickly as the order is for Saturday
Thank you all, hope not too long.
Red velvet is a light (flavored) chocolate like a German chocolate with red food coloring. I would just do a boxed RV and if you want to spruce it up, add 1 cup mayonnaise per box of mix to get a really moist cake.
The Cake Mix Doctor has a recipe using a white cake mix. You can do a search on her website and find the exact recipe. I make it all the time & get rave reviews. The color is a fabulous red color. I use her recipes all the time & haven't had a problem yet.
Being from the south I love red velvet cake. I also prefer it with the 'traditional red velvet icing'. Most people use cream cheese icing but a cooked buttercream is traditional for this cake.

I like the Red Velvet Redux recipe here, it adds buttermilk, sour cream and white chocolate pudding to a box mix. I think it's quite tasty.
I just made a cooked flour frosting for the first time last weekend and I could NOT stop eating it just straight from the bowl. It almost tastes like a cookie dough or something to me...so good!!

It is good isn't it? That's the only kind of icing I like on Red Velvet. I think it compliments the cake better than cream cheese.
I also use a box mix for my red velvet and add the white chocolate pudding, sour cream etc. gotta use the buttermilk next time..now why didn't I think of that? 
Wow!! With all these added ingredients maybe I'll keep trying and see how well they come out.
By the way, I added the buttermilk and vinegar and it tastes really good. Also I've been adding flour to my bc for years, old trick my father taught me way back when.
Wanted to let you all know I made the rv cake, with a mix and doctored it with 1/2 cup of buttercream, 2tablespoons of white distilled vinegar and a dollop of sour cream.
Has that chocolate taste with a kick and my customers are raving over it.
Oh I have used, cc filling, mocha filling and raspberry filling. Iced with Buttercream.
Thanks for all your help and ideas.
