I'm not a huge fan, either. Every time I eat red velvet cake, I end up thinking a piece of good, plain chocolate cake would've been better. Solidarity!
After all the hype I heard about it, I have to agree. Most recipes are just versions of German Chocolate cake with a metric ton of red dye added. And I'd rather have German Chocolate since it usually has glorious coconut frosting.
Really? I wonder if you got a bad piece. Was it moist? Because dry red velvet cake is not good.
ReplyDeleteIt was... kind of in-betweenie: not really dry, not really moist.

ReplyDeleteWoot! I concur - chocolate cake for all!
DeleteI don't enjoy red velvet either. It's odd.
ReplyDeleteIt really is - I don't LIKE different. #crankycurmudgeon

ReplyDeleteOoh, that sounds delicious! I've never had German chocolate cake: I should try that next!
Deleteicing is really all that matters:) cake be damned!
ReplyDeleteHA! But only if it's GOOD icing - not that 5-lbs of sugar crap from the grocery store. That stuff makes mah teeth ache. ;)
DeleteI, too, am 'meh' about red velvet. Gimme chocolate ANY day of the week!
ReplyDeleteYou know what I like? PIE. *nods*
DeleteAgreed. Red Chocolate? Messes with my head.
ReplyDeleteYES! Does not compute!
DeleteBut, you have poops remniscent of cardinal wings the next day! What is not to love about vividly red turds?
ReplyDeleteSadly, I did not even have mediocre pink poops. I feel deprived now.
DeleteI can't dignify eating so much red dye.
ReplyDeleteUrg, yes! That, too! >_<
DeleteTHANK YOU!!!!
ReplyDeleteHee! How do you feel about lemon cake? ;)
DeleteNot a fan of Red velvet myself. I'd rather have a good piece of chocolate cake. This mediocre chocolate cake with red food coloring added is just meh.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes. I think I expected more because of all the red velvet-hype.
DeleteI've not had the overwhelming experience with the red velvet that people rave about. Only tried it a few times, though.
