I just had the Red Velvet Cake recipe from Caveman (I think that was the name) and now I can't find it!!!!!
Does anyone have this recipe?
T H A N K S!!!

I'm sure it's the recipe from Cakeman Raven.

However, it is so easy a caveman could do it.

LOL - yes...that's the name...I knew it was something easy!
Cakeman/Caveman...same thing. I combined the cake with the rave and got caveman!!!
Ill do a recipe search! Didn't find it...HELP!!!

Google is our friend.

I make it also. And i love it. Bobby Flay beat him on the challenge.I have Bobby" s recipe, but haven,t made his yet.But it looks so delicious.

You should be able to type in Cake Man Raven... I just went and looked and it says it's currently under construction.

I did a taste test a while back with 6 different RV recipes and this one was by far the best.

I am fairly new to red velvet cake. What is the texture of red velvet cake supposed to be? Is it a little on the dry side? I tried a RV recipe (not Raven's) and I thought the tast was good but a little dry.

I don't think any cake should be on the dry side. My RV cakes are always as moist and delicious as any of the others I make.

My RV cake, made from Cakeman Ravens recipe, turned out dry as a rock. Not sure what happened. It tasted really good but D-R-Y!

I did try Cakeman Raven's recipe and although I'm not a RV expert...I thought it was good...very moist too!

When I made this recipe it was delicious the first day, but by the second day the cake was dry!

I had tried 2 other RV recipes before CakeMan Raven's, and both batches went right into the trash (which means they were really awful, because I hate wasting cake!). Then, I gave Cakeman's a try and it was wonderful!!! I took the cupcakes to a church event that night, and people were "raven" over them -- sorry, I couldn't resist! They froze well, too.

I have tried ALOT of red velvet recipes, and my favorite by far is from Nancie Mcdermott's "southern cakes", for cake, for cupcakes I like the recipe from American Profile/Pastry Queen (both the same recipe). I don't like the RV made from oil.

SandiOh,
Would you mind sharing the recipe???? THANKS!!!
