Red Velvet Super Moist Cake Recipe

Ingredients

1 box butter flavored cake mix

1 bottle red food color

3 eggs

1 stick butter (half melted in microwave)

1 cup whole milk or buttermilk

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla flavor

Frosting:

2 8 oz. blocks of cream cheese

2 sticks of butter (1/2 lb)

3/4 bag powdered sugar of 2 lb. bag (1 1/2 lbs.)

Cooking Directions

Preheat Oven 325°F. Grease and flour 3 8-inch cake pans. Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl and beat on medium speed for 4 minutes. Divide batter and spread evenly in the 3 pans. Bake approximately 20 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Turn each cake out onto a paper towel to cool.

Frosting:

For heavy duty mixer, put cream cheese and butter in bowl. Beat until smooth, add powdered sugar, a small amount at a time until about 3/4 of bag is used. You may optionally add chopped pecans chopped to the frosting, if desired.

Note: Always frost each layer face down with bottom facing up; this makes a smooth and perfectly shaped cake.
