Red Velvet Bundt Cake

"I was looking for a Red Velvet Cake that I could make in a bundt pan. I found this recipe from Southern Living magazine and gave it a try. It was GREAT! I did not use the glaze that was suggested because it did not compliment the cake. You can use any glaze you like if you don't like my idea. ENJOY!"

  1. This was my first time making Red Velvet Cake and I thought it was very good! I used all purpose instead of cake flour because I didn't have any and I spread the frosting on instead of melting and drizzling it on the cake. I also omitted the walnuts but other than that I followed the directions exactly as written and baked in a tube pan. I made this for our Christmas dessert this year and it was enjoyed by all!
     
  2. cake is visually disgusting. when i pulled it out of the oven it had split in the center and was heaping over the bundt pan. after cooling for 20 min and it fell. when i turn it out it was also cracked around the side. i have been baking for almost 20 years and should have known 6 eggs is way to much for a cake. unfortunately i have no choice but to use this cake. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME
