How to Make Aunt Marilyn's Red Velvet Cake
- Aunt Marilyn's Personal Notes:
1 cake recipe = 32 cupcakes
A single icing recipe is sufficient
For any red cakes I make, I increase the amount of icing by 1 1/2 times.
NOTE: I have found that this icing recipe quantities is sufficient for a 4-layer cake. I don't know if what she wrote was the "increase 1 1/2 times" or the "single" icing recipe. ~Carolyn
