This was my fifth stab at a red velvet cake. While it was not dry, it wasn't what I would call extra moist. The cakes I've made with oil or with a mixture of oil and butter were moister. Also, even though I like the definite chocolate taste, the cake comes out looking too brown. The whole point of this cake is the dramatic presentation. So I would either add less chocolate or more red food coloring.

This cake is extremely delicious..I made some modifications...I don't like sour cream, so I used a teaspoon of vinegar. Also I used 2 ounces of red food coloring to offset the extra cocoa. Rather than using all purpose flour, I used cake flour and added one extra egg. I strongly recommend the recipe. I made two in one night!!!!! It was a tremendous success.
