Easy Red Velvet Cake

I loved it!!!!!

Its quick and so easy. I have to say that cake mix quality makes a difference. Use high end white cake mix and this will be fool proof and delicious. The family loves it. Great for cupcakes too!

I’ve made this as a cake and cupcakes. I don’t care for red velvet cake at all but everyone seems to love it when I do. I don’t use buttermilk just because I never have it on hand. I use whatever I have including soured milk and it’s always a hit:-)

I made this as directed w/addition of 1 tsp vanilla & it was excellent! Everyone liked it a lot!

I have been making red velvet cakes from scratch since I was a kid, this is a very good recipe. I follow the recipe as written except I only use half the amount of red food coloring, that’s all it needs. I added 1/4 cup of flour for high altitude. I’ve made several wedding cakes with this recipe, it’s good and sturdy, but still flavorful and moist. Frost with a nice cream cheese icing.

Yes .

Omg, One of my favorite cakes is red velvet cake but when I’m busy doing other things I have to eat the storebought dessert version. So now that I know a quicker way to make it life has been more delicious.

This cake was soooo DRY! It tasted very good, but even with cooking it less than the suggested time it turned out very dry. I wouldn’t make it again.

I tried this cake, with all of the substitutions suggested by the user wilddaycare which included adding 1 cup of sour cream, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup of water, 1/3 cup of veg oil, 1tsp of vanilla flavor, and I used 1/2 bottle of red food coloring and it was the perfect tint. I give the cake 3 stars because based on the revisions I made, the cake was very, very moist and good, however, it tasted NOTHING like a red velvet cake. I honestly don’t think it would have been anything compared to this without the revisions. My husband said it tasted like a chocolate cake that so happen to be red lol. The texture of the cake was different. I will try the recipe again, but will try other substitutions suggested by other users such as using buttermilk instead of water, possibly adding coa coa and a little vinegar. Oh I made cream cheese frosting fro scratch so this made the cake even better.

I read all the reviews for this cake and decided to try it. I made on exactly like it said then i continued on n tried what others suggested which made my family very happy cause they got their favorite cake over n over. Everyones turned out great i even adde cherry juice n chunks of cherries in the batter we loved it. So to the person who wrote it down thank you.

I’m sorry to say I didn’t try the original recipe. I used the adjustments that wilddaycare suggested. It won a taste test over the old Betty Crocker recipe with 8 testers ages 54 to 2yrs old:)

Very moist although it lacked cocoa flavor so i added a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder

I tried the Recipe yesterday, and added 1.5 tsp of Vanilla flavoring and made 24 small fabulous cupcakes, I used a cream cheese icing, and shaved white chocolate over them… tasted really good…

My family loved this cake. It disappeared in two days. This one is a keeper for the holidays.

I followed the recipe. It was perfect, simple but moist and delicious.

I added alittle powdered sugar and some vanilla as suggested and it was delicious! What a treat for my daughter’s birthday! Thanks!

Makes GREAT cupcakes!

Nothing special, but then again I’m not a huge fan of cake to begin with. I have had a few recipes that knocked-my-socks-off, but this was not one of them. Sorry.

This recipe makes fantastic cupcakes! I used french vanilla cake mix and added substituted a little extra buttermilk vs. water and these turned out great! In addition, this recipe was so simple as compared to red velvet from scratch. I definitely recommend this recipe!

I loved the texture of this recipe but was very dissapointed in the taste. I did not like it at all.

easy i used frozen whip topping for iceing
