I have never liked red velvet cake until I made this recipe!!!!! I made it for my boyfriend's birthday because it's his favorite and we both couldn't stop eating it. I served it to several people and everyone said it was the best they ever had. I used a more traditional cream cheese frosting so I can't comment on the frosting. I don't know why it has gotten some reviews that it's bland because mine turned out absolutely moist and delicious. Wonderful recipe!!!!!!

I made this cake yesterday based on the reviews. The cake is pretty (nice coloring) and quite moist, but too dense. Also, I found the cake to be a little bland (not the traditional Southern Red Velvet cake taste). I made 2 9" layers and split the layers. Very easy to make.

I used "Duncan Hines" brand yellow cake mix; "Jello" brand instant pudding mix; "cool whip" whipped topping. Works every time for me. Never fail. This recipe is great!

I searched your files for a special holiday cake and settled on this one. It was spectacular! I made a two layer cake and split the layers so I had four. The first time I made it the frosting was a bit skimpy so the next time I used 12 oz. of cool whip and it was perfect. My whole family thought it was the best cake they had ever eaten. Mrs. McAl

Thanks for this recipe! I have always loved red velvet but most recipes I've used always turn out dry. I did not have a yellow cake mix the first time I used this so I substituted a french vanilla cake mix and it turned out great. My brother-in-law even said that it was "almost as good" as his great-aunt's (she was known as the great cook in the family!!!) Thanks again for sharing this recipe!

I had fun preparing this recipe, however it was not as moist as I had anticipated, it was rather heavy and dry.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!I reluctantly tried this new recipe for my father-in-law's birthday and the response was unanimous-hands down the best, not only red velvet, but the best cake that they had ever had PERIOD! Moist was an understatement, and the icing was perfectly light, fluffy, not too rich and overpowering, yet still nice and cheesy.

This cake is wonderful. You look great and it's something your friends and family will love. I like it best if you cook the cake in two 8x10 pans and then split the cakes making four layers. Then having the frosting in every layer. It is a huge hit. And looks beautiful.
