"My two year old and I made this Red Velvet Cake recipe for my birthday cake the other day. It was so easy and so yummy. I added two to three table spoons of rasberry jello mix because I did not have enough red food coloring in the house. Let me tell you.... It was so good. Chocolate rasberry delight! I made a home made Lemon Cream Cheese Icing for this cake! It was so moist and delicious! We will be making this again."
