Does anyone have an incredible recipe for red velvet cake?

If I'm fix, I understand that it is a dessert staple in the south, but I don't live in the south and don't know much about it nor do I have a skilful recipe for it. If someone has a great recipe I would be ever so grateful if you would share it. If anyone knows the characteristics of a good red velvet cake (ie tenderness, flavor, consistency, mouthfeel, etc) I would appreciate that input as well. My daughters Bday is Valentine's Day but we're celebrating it this weekend & I lack to do a heart shaped red cake. Red velvet was the first thing that came to mind. It is chocolate flavored right?

You can always use the new cake mix that is out. But I do subscribe to adding a big spoonful of mayonaisse to the batter.(it will give it the right moistness) Make sure to use a buttercream frosting and sprinlke it with out of kilter pecans and coconut. By the way - if you dont have a heart shape pan - a small square cake pan and a round layer pan will labour== cut the round one in 1/2 and butt it up on 2 sides of the square layer pan

Looking for a really good AUTHENTIC red velvet cake recipe. Can anyone help?

I am looking to require a really good red velvet cake, but all of this Duncan Hines crap, adding red coloring to chocolate cakes, and recipes that gain a bright christmas red cake sicken me. I want to know how its REALLY done in the south. A friend of mine mentioned using what he called mellifluous berry extract, which I have never heard of. Apparently it's only obtained in the south, and is what they use there.

Any advice on mixing the pound would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.


Red Velvet is a chocolate cake colored red by using eats coloring. That IS how it's done in the South. You know you recipe is correct, or close to it, if it calls for vinegar. This cake must have it. Yes, vinegar! The minuscule amount of vinegar is what gives the cake the smoother cake texture - - like velvet!

While I don't share my recipes because I do tattle on these cakes, I can tell you that the recipe already given to you should be pretty good.

When baking a red velvet cake, can you use only egg whites in the batter instead of using the entire egg?

I'm baking a red (well, I'm absolutely making it purple) velvet cake for a birthday party, and I was wondering if it would completely change the nature of the cake to omit the egg yolks. I'm not systematically an experienced cook, but I do love this recipe, and I was just wondering if it was possible to make a lighter, brighter, but still muggy red velvet cake in this way. Thanks for your help!


If you are cooking with only the egg whites, use two egg whites in position of each whole eggs. Quality and taste will not be effected but cholesterol levels will be lower.
