Red Velvet Remix
This is a tweak on a recipe I found on here. The cake tasted amazing but it was heavy and did not make cupcakes well at all. So this is what I came up with. It is begins with a mix and is based loosely on the WASC method. I hope everyone has as much luck as I had. I also made a double batch when I came up with the recipe so if you need to make a smaller batch just halve the ingredients. A double batch will make 3-9in rounds and 2- 6in rounds. Also fill your pans between half and 3/4 full because the cake tends to not rise as much as other recipes. This recipe also does not contain vinegar or baking soda, so one may argue it is not a true Red Velvet cake. But I believe with the DH mixes the baking soda causes it to be flat and heavy.
The picture shows the cakes in and out of the pans and a cupcake with the wrapper filled a little more than half way full.

Read MoreDark Chocolate cake (grandma’s recipe)
I used to keep this recipe secret when I had a baking business. Now, I just bake for family and friends upon request. My grandmother found this recipe in a church cookbook back in the 1930′s. She always made it for my mom’s family when growing up and they went crazy for it.
I’ve since inherited the recipe and modernized it (it originally called for sour milk, not buttermilk), adding more chocolate to the recipe. It’s a heavy batter and doesn’t usually dome in the middle. Sometimes, I don’t even have to level it before decorating. It’s a very rich, moist, dark chocolate cake.
Enjoy! I know I have. Any questions on it, please let me know!
