ok, thought this sounded good, but once I started realized the recipe stated to mix first 4 ingredients and it should say 5....needs water to make it smooth. Then beating 10 minutes concerned me. Wouldn't that make it more dense, but then red velvet cake is...<br/>Then, it said to cook at 350 for 40 minutes. I hit 20 minutes and it is almost burnt on the bottom. I can never say I have ever had this much trouble with a cake. Its still liquid in the middle and burnt on the bottom.... Temp is too high and cooked too long. I think it can be resolved with correcting the recipe, but for a fast dessert, I am now having to start over right before company comes!
