I think this is as close to a true red velvet cake as you can get while using a boxed cake mix. I consider myself a RV connoisseur but a novice cake baker so the idea of making a RV cake from scratch seemed daunting. I followed this recipe exactly except for using 3 T of cocoa powder and a different icing recipe as suggested by other reviewers. This cake was fabulous! Everyone who tasted it loved it and it was moist and delicious. I will definitely be making this again!

Although this recipe doesn't need any more comments, I'll explain how I doubled it. I used a 9x13" pan. I made an oreo crust for the bottom using 2 sleeves of crushed Oreos. Then added a half gallon of raspberry swirl. Then a layer of strawberry sauce and 1 sleeve crushed oreos. Another layer of strawberry swirl and covered that with whipped cream. Delicious!

I, too, followed reviewers advice and used the quick and easy pizza crust from this site. I reduced the gorgonzola to 5 oz. (the size of the tub in my local store) and added about 5 oz. shredded mozzarella. Be sure to use 2 BIG onions. Yummy!
