Bea Liles asked me to post my red velvet cake recipe. I have 3 and have already posted a Quick Red Velvet Cake. This is the 2nd posting and was the first RV recipe I got in 1977. The frosting is different and I only made it until I found one for cream cheese frosting. I personally like the cream cheese better.
