Red Velvet Deliciousness...

I found this recipe awhile back and finally got a chance to bake it yesterday evening... I found the recipe here (The Farm Chicks)...  I just have to say om nom nom nom...  I threw it together as quickly as I could... and used this frosting recipe that I found here (All Recipes)... and again YUM!  I'm going to make this cake AGAIN this weekend coming... except this time I plan on taking my time... and actually waiting for the cakes to cool properly so they're not so crummy and the finished cake looks more finished...

Here's a shot of the Kitchen Aid in action... Ooo this thing makes baking a pleasure!..  I'm not sure what it is about red velvet cakes lately but I just love them!..

Here they are fresh out of the oven... cooling on baking racks... 

The cake is so delicious... not too sweet at all... even the icing recipe from that link above... not too sweet... its just right...

I planned on having four layers... I baked two cakes and cut them in half... but I lost half of one of the cakes to the cake gods!..  I was really excited and just wanted to assemble the cake so I was rushing... didn't wait for the cakes to cool enough... decided to assist the first cake out of the pan by banging it on the bottom... the cake did not like that...  so the cake ended up being just a three layer cake... I think this weekend I'm going to aim for 6 layers... I just need one more cake pan... then cut the three thinner cakes in half... Mmmm... buy cool them for awhile in the fridge before I start cutting and assembling...  

I can't wait until lunch time... I brought some cake for my dessert...  I shared half of the cake last night with the neighbors... it was barely frosted and I was running out through the front door to spread the red velvet love...
