This was my first time making Red Velvet Cake and I thought it was very good! I used all purpose instead of cake flour because I didn't have any and I spread the frosting on instead of melting and drizzling it on the cake. I also omitted the walnuts but other than that I followed the directions exactly as written and baked in a tube pan. I made this for our Christmas dessert this year and it was enjoyed by all!

cake is visually disgusting. when i pulled it out of the oven it had split in the center and was heaping over the bundt pan. after cooling for 20 min and it fell. when i turn it out it was also cracked around the side. i have been baking for almost 20 years and should have known 6 eggs is way to much for a cake. unfortunately i have no choice but to use this cake. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME
