Great tasting cake but didn't like the color it turned out. I would use the recipe again but just leave out the food coloring and call it a "NOT red-velvet cake" cake!

I have never had any other Red Velvet cake, so I don't know what to compare it to. But at any rate, THIS IS SOOOO GOOD! I did make a few changes suggested by other reviewers. I used 4 tablespoons of cocoa, one tablespoon of vanilla, and two 1oz bottles of the food coloring. I also used the moist yellow cake mix. I didn't have time to make the icing, so I used a store bought whipped cream cheese icing. I put some chopped pecans on top. It was wonderful!

If you've ever had a real red velvet cake you will be disappointed with this recipe. Adding food coloring does not make any cake become red velvet. I did make the cake and it was a good, but it was not a red velvet.

At first, I was unimpressed by this cake recipe. I tripled the cocoa powder, as one reviewer suggested, and the result was gorgeously dark red cupcakes (baked for 15 minutes at 350). I also used half butter, half vegetable oil to encourage moistness. Unfortunately, the flavor was very bland. It tasted just like boxed cake mix, except not as good. But my co-workers did like the cake, so I tried it one more time, this time with the original vegetable oil but FOUR tablespoons of cocoa. I really liked how this picked up the flavor a bit for me, and it was more moist this way.

This cake was GREAT! The birthday girl loved it and said it was better than any bakery red velvet cake! Delicious frosting and moist. I garnished with red sprinkles, chocolate drizzle, and strawberries. Will definitely make it again! Thanks!

Excellent recipe! I didn't have any red food coloring, but had green, so mine was more like "green velvet cake"! Thanks for sharing.

This is a so-so cake. Easy enough for a beginner cook, or a person who doesn't have enough time to actually make a traditional Red velvet cake w/ a butter roux frosting

Red Velvet cake is a family favorite, and this recipe is the easiest I've ever used! I double up on the cocoa, and use store-bought icing. We LOVE it!

We thought this cake was okay. We were disapointed with the frosting. It just tasted like instant pudding and Cool Whip. I will stick to the traditional cream cheese frosting when making a red velvet cake.

I was a little concerned with the reviews about dryness and bland flavor and color. Neither dryness or color was an issue. I substituted 1/2 c of melted butter for veg. oil, and put in 3 T of cocoa. This was a moist, delicious cake, the entire family LOVED it. Served with my own icing.

The cake did not have a dominant flavor. It was also too dense and not as moist as most other cake recipes.
