made this for my sister visiting from Italy (I am in the uk) and it was an absolute success. it was delicious. soft but had some density… just perfect. the only thing that I will do differently next time is the cream cheese frosting. I followed the recipe exactly but the frosting came out very liquid, after researching the Internet I discovered that the cream cheese you get in the UK is much softer. I used Philadelphia. i tried making a small batch (which we ate on the side of the cake 😉 and whisked the butter with the sugar well and only after is all whipped I added the cold cream cheese. the result is an amazing cream cheese that hold its shape 🙂 100% my go to red velvet cake

Deliciously moist, rich cake! Made the recipe (almost) as written, with the exception of using more butter in place of the vegetable oil (was out of it). It still came out great with a moist, tender crumb. I will definitely make again, but the coffee and cinnamon took a way from the traditional red velvet flavor, in my opinion, so I’ll leave those out next time. Thanks for such a great recipe!

I have tried so many red velvet recipes including the one that is considered number one by kitchn bake-off. This is by far my favorite. Very moist and perfect amount of sweetness and chocolate. Made 1/2 the recipe into cupcakes (made about 15 cupcakes). Baked for 15-17 min.

In reply to Lisa. Hi Lisa! We haven't tried that, and I'm not sure how well it would work. Bundt cakes are typically more on the heavy/dense side, whereas this cake was designed to be super light and fluffy. If you don't feel like experimenting, give this recipe a try in three 8-inch round cake pans, or try one of Tessa's bundt cake recipes :) Happy baking!

In reply to Trista. Hi Trista! We have not tested this cake in any type of sheet pan, but other readers have successfully made this recipe in a 9×13-inch pan. Let us know how it goes if you give this a try!

In reply to Shawna Branscum. Hi Shawna! Other readers have successfully made this recipe in a 9×13-inch pan, but as we have not tested this ourselves, we cannot say exactly how long this will take to bake. Let us know how it goes if you give this a try :)

What would be the cooking time for a 9×13 cake
