Cake was a little dry, but could have just been my lack of baking skills:)

So good! It made a million small cupcakes- and I followed someone else's suggestion to use Jani's cream cheese and it was perfect together! Delish!

Too dry for my liking. I made exactly as the recipe stated too. Very disappointed.

These were a little on the not-so-sweet side, however, frosting fixes the problem. I only used 1/4 cup of cocoa powder because red velvet isn't supposed to have that much anyway. Overall, I had very great responses. Thanks!

Followed the recipe exactly and my cupcakes turned out super super dry. I'm not really sure what happened, but I won't be making this recipe again.

yum, loved the frosting the most. wonderful. this amount of coloring is right on, if you want it the bright fake red go for it best this is nice color also ps. to all of you that think its not chocolatey enough, make a chocolate cake if you want chocolate, red velvet is MEANT to be lightly flavored with cocoa.

This worked okay. Not as great as I would have hoped. Definitely not as good as my neighborhood bakery.

Delicious, although it's in part due to the suggestions I picked up in the reviews. I only used 2 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder and baked the cupcakes for 17-18 minutes, and they came out perfect.

This was my very first time baking cupcakes.. and I am SO HAPPY I chose this recipe!! The coloring came out perfect, the cupcake was nice and moist.. just perfect! The only thing I changed.. was using less cocoa - WHICH I REGRET! I guess for a true Red Velvet, less cocoa is better.. but for my own personal preference, I like it to have more of a chocolate flavor. My boyfriend took it to work with him...... and it was A BIG HIT! I used Janis' Cream Cheese Frosting II too!

These were a huge hit at my office. I made them as directed with whipped cream cheese frosting (my fav) from this site. I don't even like red velvet normally, and even I enjoyed one of these. I'll be making them again.

This recipe was very good, but i only gave 4 stars because it contained to much cocoa powder it made it into devil's food instead of red velvet. Besides the cocoa powder this cake was very moist and is perfect with cream cheese frosting.

Great! However, I agree with some other reviewers that there may be a little too much cocoa. It just tasted too chocolaty to me. Still delicious, though!

The secret is to beat the butter and sugar till light and fluffy! I decreased the cocoa to 2 TBSP and used 2 TBSP of red food color to get that perfect shade of red. I checked the oven after 18 mins and decided to bake for another 2 mins. I took it out of the cupcake pan right after and let it cool in a separate pan so it won't get overbaked while it cools. Came out very moist with just the perfect shade of red. Frosted with a basic cream cheese frosting. Really good! This recipe needs a frosting though as it can't stand on its own flavor.
