Directions
Southern Buttermilk Red Velvet Cake, Don’t be afraid of the deep red color-there is more than a hint of chocolate flavor in this fun and very tasty cake to serve anytime, but especially at Valentine’s Day and Christmas I have also made it into cupcakes for the kiddies to take to school and share The frosting is buttery and not-too sweet This is a traditional cake from Chicago to the deep south Back East you will even find cake mixes for an easy version of Red Velvet Cake I tried several versions of this cake and favored this adaptation of Gale Gand’s from her Just a Bite cookbook
