Receta Red Velvet Cake
I have to admit. I did not start eating Red Velvet Cake until I was way into my 30’s. For some explainable reason, my family never made this cake. I am not sure to this day why not, but I am sure glad I discovered it.
To this date I like to use Paula Deen’s recipe for mine. It always leaves the cake so moist and with just the right amount of chocolate taste. And the frosting. OMG, the frosting I could just sit down and eat right out of the bowl. LOL…I have eaten a few big spoonfuls from time to time. Note: I usually leave the pecans out of the recipe, but I left them in the directions below to stay true to Paula’s recipe.
So here y’all go. Mine and Paula Deen’s RED VELVET CAKE. (Link to her recipe here)
