Easy Red Velvet Cake Recipe - here is a delicious and incredibly simple recipe that you'll want to make over and over again!

I always crave Red Velvet Cake around Christmas or Valentine’s day with that stunning crimson color revealed once cut. This Easy Red Velvet Cake recipe was one I knew I had to learn and master and I was surprised at how simple it was.

When I fell in love with Trent, I quickly realized that he came from a family of food lovers. Remembrances of times past with his family often included the incredible meal they shared. And when I ate his momma’s cooking – I knew why! Seeing that this was my husband’s favorite recipe of his mother’s, I took to the task of learning it quick! It’s moist, buttery, not too rich and perfectly delicious!

Shortly after we were married, we moved from our newlywed apartment in Nashville south to Birmingham to help get a good start financially by working for the family business. There was a brief time when we were fortunate to live in his parent’s basement for about 6 months. It was during that season that I was like an annoying fly, buzzing around my mother-in-law, watching and learning intently from her cooking skills. What a blessing it was!

Not that my mother wasn’t an excellent cook, but I lacked the drive and desire when I had to opportunity to learn from her before I was married. Plus, most of the time spent in the kitchen with my Mom involved hours of singing together instead of cooking lessons. Precious moments of family harmony that I’ll cherish forever!

Today, I wanted to share this with you – just in time for Valentine’s Day. Maybe you can surprise your sweetheart with this cake and they’ll swoon over how yummy it is!

    Perhaps this should be called a ‘Heart Attack Cake’!
    Gee, can’t you come up with a little healthier version? Or, at least, comment on it’s incredible unhealthy fat content?
    Box butter cake mix is LOADED with trans fats. Then you add butter, butter and MORE butter!
    I didn’t expect a vegan, organic, low fat recipe, but this is downright GREASY!

  • Sweet Ollie has had quite the week. It started Friday with a cluster of seizures that landed him in the doggie ER. Ever since he’s been home, he seems like a different dog. We aren’t sure if it’s the meds or the effects of the events from Friday, but he’s definitely tuckered out. At least we have glimpses of our sweet boy here and there. 
One thing is for sure - we certainly love this mutt and what a perfect way to celebrate that love than on National Love Your Pet Day. We are so thankful that he is on the mend.

  • Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for your encouragement, reassurance, kind words, and prayers! Ollie came home last night and slowly has been coming back to the sweet mutt we know and love. The past few days have been so traumatic for him so he’s been out of sorts. .
But as the day goes on, both he and I are on the mend and I thank you for all the prayers - truly! .

  • Well, we found out yesterday that our sweet Ollie is epileptic. We had suspicions, but never saw them with our own eyes, until yesterday. He had a cluster of them and is at the doggy ER to get them under control. It was scary and we felt so helpless. .
In the midst of it, I somehow pulled a muscle in my leg and have been couch bound most of the day. Funny how things fall like dominoes, isn’t it? But we are thankful that Ollie is getting the treatment he needs and we have hope that we can get this under control.  Thank you for being a sounding board over the past few weeks while we’ve tried to figure this out! I love this supportive community!
