a celebration of the red velvet cake

Red Velvet Cake is a delicious dessert with a unique and distinctive flavor that is not
quite chocolate and not quite vanilla. It is often topped with a generous amount of
creamy white frosting on layers of moist red cake, making it a high contrast delight.

the cake batter and stir well to

To create the frosting, combine


cream cheese, powdered sugar
and vanilla extract. After cakes
have cooled, apply the frosting
liberally using a spatula.

Serve cake at room temperature.


Pair with ice cold milk for a smooth
and savory finish.
