  1. This was my fifth stab at a red velvet cake. While it was not dry, it wasn't what I would call extra moist. The cakes I've made with oil or with a mixture of oil and butter were moister. Also, even though I like the definite chocolate taste, the cake comes out looking too brown. The whole point of this cake is the dramatic presentation. So I would either add less chocolate or more red food coloring.
     
  2. This cake is extremely delicious..I made some modifications...I don't like sour cream, so I used a teaspoon of vinegar. Also I used 2 ounces of red food coloring to offset the extra cocoa. Rather than using all purpose flour, I used cake flour and added one extra egg. I strongly recommend the recipe. I made two in one night!!!!! It was a tremendous success.
     
  3. It was really tasty but I did add just a tablespoon more buttermilk to thin out the liquid.
     
  4. I made this cake 3 times and everyone seems to love it! But i made some modifications as well:<br/>-used just 2 tbsp of cocoa<br/>-buttermilk used lemon instead of vinegar<br/>-used just 2 tbsp of coloring<br/>-added 1/2 cup of cream cheese.
     
  5. Quite a good cake- they were well recieved by the family. I wasnt sure what 3 semisweet chocolate squares was in grams so I used 75g dark chocolate which was just about right. I made the mix into muffins and iced them with my own cream cheese icing and easter eggs. Made for PAC Spring 2009
