Try this one ; it looks to be the most authentic that I've seen. Why is the red velvet cake so special? It's a southern tradition, made for special occasions, especially Valentine's Day. It's a chocolate cake, but because it's red, the chocolate flavor is a surprise if you haven't eaten one before.

I don't really get the whole red velet cake attraction... The red is only food coloring, and adds nothing to the cake... other than that, it's just a chocolate cake with white icing...

This recipe is similar to the one I've been making for almost 40 years now....hubby's favorite and his birthday is on Christmas Day, so this cake fills the bill. I use butter for the shortening - not exactly a low-cal cake, but we only have it once a year!
P.S. We've tried the box mix and it was not even close to tasting like the scratch recipe.

Where I live, the Costco makes a very good Red Velvet Cake, it's a great addition to their 5 layer double chocolate cake and 1 gallon of milk, just for snacks. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
