How do you Sell it?

[@wonderwoman66dp]

@@lildebdoll60 by the slice or even the whole cake. Tell friends, family, post it to ur social media outlets that u're on & let ppl know the area u're in & for a small fee u can deliver, let's say within a 5 mile radius or u can park somewhere at a plaza close to ur home & have customers come to u to pick up. U can charge $6+/slice & $45+ for a whole cake.

This is the BEST red velvet cake and icing recipe I’ve tried, and I’ve tried MANY!!! I have baked this only twice so far, but it will now ALWAYS be my FIRST choice whenever I am in the mood to bake a cake. Delicious, super moist, just the right texture, and the icing is the PERFECT consistency and sweetness level. Thank you so much Alexus, you have permanently ENDED my search for the best red velvet cake on earth since it just can’t get any better than this. Super easy instructions, very FAST cake.

[@iyvethelemarc5139]

This is the best red velvet recipe EVER!!! The extra buttermilk makes a big difference. It came out nice and moist

[@bookandanimelover4life582]

I love how you did the design throughout the entire cake. It make the cake look like a giant pretty flower!

[@TOUCHOFB]

I Just LOVE you. You do not GATEKEEP ANYTHING lol I've been baking for about a year and the comment you made about letting your cakes sit in the freezer for about an hour because it will make it easier to coat was the best tip I could receive yet! I normally would let my cakes cool then coat them but I can tell this will be a method I will use from here on out!

[@LilliesPad05]

I used your recipe last year at Christmas it was so good I wound up making two so I'm back watching again preparing to make it again for Christmas I'm 61 years old and have been making red velvet cakes for 40 years but yours is the best easiest recipe I've ever used! Thanks!

[@officialholidayjukebox8119]

I had to circle back to this video and say a few words … I made it for Christmas and this is by far the most moist recipe I have tried I’ve made a lot of red velvet cakes but this will always be my go to recipe

[@sunnyjean9388]

I’ve made and sold this cake so many times… The best red velvet cake recipe hands down. Super easy… You can’t go wrong with this one

[@allthingsalexus]

Thanks for watching! Merry Christmas ❤️

[@richierich5546]

Just made this cake for fam . Oil based instead of butter based. Thought it would be oily but it turned out beautifully. Couldn't keep it on the table, that's how fast it was devoured. Double the frosting recipe to get good cake coverage

[@angeleslopez8509]

Made these today for Christmas Eve, since my toddler “4” wanted to bake cupcakes and my 12 year old daughter said “these cupcakes are so good and soft I can’t even describe the taste because their so good” I’m glad I went on with your recipe.

[@ginnywithag5046]

The one I made for decades from early 1970's called for 3 9" pans.

Where do you get the recipe from for exact meaurements?

[@joanndennard701]

Wow!! I followed your recipe and this cake was so moist and good. This cake was so easy. SIMPLY DELICIOUS 💯

[@maryevans9065]

I make red velvet cakes at Christmas for family & friends for Christmas gifts. I have used the same recipe for 40 years & mine is almost exactly as yours, but mine only calls for 1 cup buttermilk. I just want to be sure you use 2 (two) cups buttermilk. I wasted a lot of ingredients once using an online recipe with a typo. I love your frosting technique! It looks WONDERFUL!! I usually use nuts in my frosting, but I'm going to leave out the nuts & pipe it on. I may sprinkle some chopped nuts on top. I will start making my layers in November & freeze them & take them out as I need them. I already have my boxes that they'll be in & wrapped with beautiful ribbons & bows.

[@allthingsalexus]

Yes 2 cups is correct 😊 behind the scenes I also added walnuts to the top for my family to enjoy 😋.

[@ginnywithag5046]

Mary is your recipe from the years of 1969 to 1972 time? I made for years this favorite recipe of a Red Velvet Cake and as without thinking family would misplace it, they did. It's been lost to me now for decades and I've always searched trying to find the version that was popular in Southern states in the winter of 1971. I know it took a full glass bottle of red food coloring ( 3 T. I believe that equaled to being). I believe it was 3 T. cocoa powder as well, 3 eggs. The eggs may have been only 2. 1½ cup of Wesson Oil and all the normal rest of the ingredients. If you or anyone reading my text has this particular recipe, I would dearly love to have it.

[@melissaa4168]

I'm in the UK so can anyone advise what flour I can use please as we either have Self Raising flour(we use to make sponge cakes) or Plain flour (for a heavier cake I believe you would call coffee cake and think its classed as All Purpose flour your side.

[@ginnywithag5046]

Mary, does your recipe call for a certain brand of cooking oil? A name brand one? I had my recipe from Dec. of 1971. As it was, my mom had it, and I never got it back. I have tried to find this same exact one. It's lost to me. I hope you might have it. Thank you for your time.

[@ginnywithag5046]

@Melissa A Melissa, the recipe I had from 1971, called for Self Rising, too, I believe. If not, at any rate, it is what was used. It was the best cake ever! Also, I believe Cake Flour is a lighter weight flour for making cakes. You are right in that Plain Flour is indeed All-Purpose Flour. Self Rising has the baking powder already in it. I can't remember if baking soda is in it, too or not.
