  • 3
    Add dry ingredients alternately with the sour milk of choice.

    This Cake seems like it takes forever to assemble.. but it is worth it. Try it you’ll see. This is the ONLY Chocolate cake I’ll ever make..Store bought mix.. NAH.. Add red food color to make red velvet and cut Chocolate powder in !/2 adding as much red as you want. I use red paste color from craft/cake store.. Powder color os ok to. Am not a fan of liquids.. never have been. Paste colors are more brilliant.
