I made this recipe for my brothers birthday, he's never had red velvet and neither have I, but we both thought it was great! it was very moist and though I do agree it was missing something in flavor, it paired very well with the store bought frosting. I actually doubled this recipe, and since one reviewer said it tasted better with chocolate pudding mix, I used half vanilla, and half chocolate. and like everyone suggested, doubled up on cocoa and added some vanilla extract! I suppose if you prefer one flavor over the other, then add more of that flavor, otherwise neither of them will stand out that much. [again, still good!]
