This recipe needs more chocolate flavor. It’s too sweet as is. Not my favorite.
Why do people like red velvet? It’s just chocolate cake with red dye! Anyway, I guess it looked pretty, so that’s a plus.
This cake turned out amazing! The color was so vibrant and the taste was heavenly. I can’t believe how easy it was to make!
I had to substitute regular milk for buttermilk and it still turned out fine. Just make sure to adjust the baking time!
so yum! bestest cake I ever bake!!!
That sounds amazing! I love red velvet cake! How did you get it so fluffy?
Bestest? Really? I think there’s better cakes out there, this one seems too basic. Let’s be real!
Tried this recipe and it was a disaster! Way too oily and I don’t think the vinegar was needed. Not impressed.
Super good! I added some chocolate chips and it was a hit at the party! Will definitely make again.
Wow, chocolate chips? That’s genius! I never thought to add those to red velvet. I’ll have to try it!
Not sure about that combo… red velvet is perfect as it is. Chocolate chips might mess it up.
