Red Velvet cake scared me. What do you mean it has chocolate in it? What kind? How much? Vinegar, too? Seriously? I just wanted to eat the velvety moist cake I remember from Guam fiestas. You know - the kind that makes your tongue bright red after a spoonful of that rich, gooey mess gets stuck in your teeth.
Thus, began my exhaustive search for the PERFECT RVC recipe. Let me warn you - there aren't ANY. I probably baked dozens of cupcakes using web recipes that had mayonnaise (nope not kidding), sour cream, create-your-own buttermilk recipes - you name it. Since I wasn't happy with any of the recipes, I made my own from simple trial and error.
So for those of you who have a grandmother with a fabulous RVC recipe, hold tight and don't let it go because everyone from every region has their preferences. Make it your own and be proud!
