This Makes a Great Birthday Cake! I
First Heard of a Red Velvet Cake
When I Saw the Movie Steel
Magnolias and Went on a Hunt to
Find a Great Recipe for This Famous
Cake. This Recipe is My Version of
One I Found Originally in Taste of
Home Great Desserts. My Version
Differs from Tradition Slightly in
That I like to Tint the Frosting
Red as Well, Making It Really,
Really Red. For the Brightest Red
Color for Your Frosting, Use Paste
Food Coloring (such as Those Sold
in Small Jars by Wilton), but You
Will Also Need a Bottle of Liquid
Food Coloring to Dye the Cake Red
as Well. I Also Have Made the
Frosting Pink for Little Girls
Birthday Cakes and Baby Showers.
Prep Time Does Not Include Cooling
Time and Allows for a Little Extra
Time for Icing the Cake.
