This is the red velvet recipe you’ve always needed in your life!
I’ve adjusted to make my favorite red velvet recipe, just for all of you, it’s so creamy and spongy, I know you’ll fall in love.
I recently have started going through a favorite baking cookbook and have declared that I will go through every recipe in the book.
Do you have a cookbook that you love? Really, I want to know!
Even when I make another recipe, all I really want is red velvet cake. This deliciously creamy and chocolate-y cake is my go to when I’m in the mood to bake, and I just love the red tinge of the cake with the bright white of the cream cheese frosting, I can’t get over how scrumptious it is, and perhaps you can make it for those spring holidays!
When I eat a red velvet cupcake or piece of cake, I’m instantly transported to my time in college when I’d go with my friends to a cupcake café near the university. We would sit in the shop for hours and I’d always get the red velvet. This recipe has such happy memories associated with it, I hope you can make great memories too with this particular cake!
