All the recipes that came up when I did a search used a simple cake recipe, with an addition of food coloring and cocoa but none started with a mix. I'm sure theres one out there somewhere.Paula Deen has an easy recipe on Food Network website, I'd use her's. A southern cake made by a southern lady. By the way, that recipe referred to above is for Neiman Marcus chocolate chip cookies, an urban legend, not for red velvet cake.
There is a famous one floating around on the internet. Some lady was in a restaurant and loved the cake so asked for the recipe. She was charged several thousand dollars for this ';secrete'; recipe. Not knowing she was charged this she was obviously frustrated/upset and when the place wouldnt refund her money she posted it on the internet. Dont know the name of it but i heard good things.
There actually is a Red Devil cake mix out now. I don't remember what brand it is, but it's either Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, or Duncan Hines.
Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines makes a red velvet cake mix, so you could start and finish with it. Buy a couplatubsafrosting and you're good to go.
they make the cake mix.
