I substitued French Vanilla cake mix for the white. This made it very moist. It turned out to be the easiest and best Red Velvet Cake I have ever tasted.

I made the cake with the changes suggested by another user: I added 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup Veg. Oil, 3 Eggs, 1 tsp. Vanilla. It was just okay - not something I would make again and definitely not something that got rave reviews.

GO EAGLES! Insted of red velvet I made these into green velvet cupcakes for Super Bowl Party at work and they were a hit. Simply switch red for green food coloring. I used a mock whipped cream frosting recipe that has been in my family for years. Thanks for the short cut. EAGLES all the way.

I should have read the reveiws first. The ones who liked it made substantial changes. This was nothing like red velvet and had none of the proper flavor nor texture.

I could not fine my 'Quick Velvet Cake' recipe; therefore, I added to this one. The cake was moist, delicious, and everyone asked for the recipe! This is what I did: I added 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup Veg. Oil, 3 Eggs, 1 tsp. Vanilla to the box of White Cake Mix and Chocolate pudding. I did not use buttermilk. When I make a Red Velvet Cake I use half of the amount of red food coloring the recipe calls for. Why? Because I do not like the taste of it! Give this a try---you will be glad you did!!

Very disappointing. Cake was dry and pretty tasteless. Next time the shortcut-free recipe will be used. Live and learn. ;-(

The taste was ok, but to me it was dry. My daughter liked it; she is the red velvet nut around here. I made it for her birthday. Will keep searching for something better.

Very good not to be homemade.Fooled everyone but my Mom. I added 1 1/2 tsp. almond extract. Made in tube pan and used cream cheese frosting. Definately a keeper when you don't have time to bake scratch.

I made this cake twice in a couple of days (for two different parties) and it was wonderful. Very moist. I bought sour cream icing for the frosting but it will probably be just as tasty without the icing.

This cake was excellent! I made this for my boyfriend for his birthday, and he loved it! Very tasty, especially with home made cream cheese frosting. Could hardly tell the difference between this and a made-from-scratch red velvet. I am not a very experienced cook, so I was a little afraid to try to make red velvet cake the hard way, but this is a very simple and tasty alternative! I definitely recommed to everybody!

Cake was definately yum, but not a true red velvet. Made it layered, with white chocolate cream cheese frosting. Sooo simple, worth making for sure, and I will make it again, however, I'll alter the recipe some.

This was my first Red Velvet cake so perhaps I am not the best judge. The recipie was easy but the taste was not outstanding. My husband, who loves cake, was not thrilled by this either. I'll keep looking.

A very good and easy cake recipe for red velvet except I did not find it as satisfying as the "Hershey" homemade version. Still worth trying for a quick & easy fix.

I made this for a friend's birtday and Red Velvet Cake is his absolute favorite. Everyone at the party raved over it, and the birthday boy said that it was the best he'd ever had, and he eats it every year on his birthday. It was really really easy as well.

I wasn't real thrilled with this cake. This was however the first time I had ever tried red velvet cake so maybe it wasn't the recipe.
