Has anyone ever made REd VeLvet CaKe?

I never made that particular cake but I made red devil's food cake. I loved baking for my family, had an old Betty Crocker cookbook that unfortunately got thrown away a few years ago. I remember making a fudge cake that was so rich it was almost impossible to eat more than one piece. Horror stories, just one. The kids and I made a pound cake and instead of using sugar, I grabbed the container of salt--unlabled, I thought I knew what it was. Man, that cake was AWFUL!

No, but I have two slices that is sitting right now in my refigerator. This cake is very delicious. Although, I have no clue on how to make it, but I do know how to eat it! No horror stories on a cake for me. But what I do know, is that this cake can be very messy indeed.. But it is very delicious..

My grandmother made red cake. She made it for special occasions and she made a boiled icing with it. I think it's called boiled icing anyway. It was a real treat for us growing up. Now red velvet cake seems to be more prevalent - I think of her when I see the cake. It has it's own special taste - I hate to think it's the food coloring,but it's very good I think. I can't imagine getting that red food coloring off stuff. What did you use - bleach?

I know I might look like an ignorant person but I have to admit that after more than three decades living in this planet, it's only now that I've heard about this type of cake. Stupid, ain't I? Anyway, I've always been fascinated by cakes. And I'm a sweet tooth by the way, from cakes to pastries, brownies, ice cream, ice cream cake, you name it! Unfortunately, I haven't tried baking an actual cake even once. My reason then was because we don't have an oven in the household. But now, I can't use that same reason anymore; because my parents gave me and my husband an oven as wedding gift more than five years ago. However, we decided to leave it in my parents' house in the province for the time being. Until now, we haven't used it because we are still paying off most of our outstanding monetary obligations where almost all of my monthly salary goes. Hopefully, after paying them all off, we'll be able to save for our own house and lot. But if you have some cake recipes, traditional or otherwise, including internet sites covering this topic, kindly do share them with us. Thanks in advance and happy baking. Regards.
