Red Velvet Cake

This three-layer cake is moist, fluffy, and delicious. The icing is made of cream cheese mixed with chopped pecans. I call this cake your grandmother’s Red Velvet Cake because this is the traditional version of the recipe.

Red Velvet Cake

When I was growing up on Thanksgiving Day, my mama would always cook a big dinner. For dessert, she would often pay someone to bake her cakes. Unfortunately, the cakes would always be horrible, and I felt like my mom was being taken advantage of. So, the following Thanksgiving, I volunteered to make her a Red Velvet Cake and to my surprise, it turned out perfect! Everyone was shocked, and so was I. Since that day, my mom and brothers have begged me to make this cake. Finally, I decided to share this recipe with you.
