Dale had a rough week at work so I baked him a cake.
A red velvet cake. With cream cheese frosting.
And jelly hearts on top – in the shape of a heart, of course.
The recipe is here and it’s a keeper. Make this for your valentine!

Nora Said,
Oh, my. That is absolutely beautiful!
margene Said,
Do you know I had no idea what a Red Velvet Cake was until I was an adult? I finally had a bite about 5 years ago. That is one gorgeous cake!
deb Said,
Aww! I hope he’s doing better. That cake would surely cheer me up!
sue Said,
I just might have to try the cupcake version. Did you manage to keep the red food coloring from getting on things it wasn’t suppose to ?
Chris Said,
Aw. I hope that cheered him up!
Jean Said,
Lovely cake! I’m sure he will love it (your posts clearly show that he appreciates your talents).
Kathy Said,
Looks yummy. Hope he’s doing better.
Leslie Said,
What an amazing cake! What will you do on Valentine’s Day to top this?
Karen Said,
It looks sooooo good! Wish I had some for breakfast right now.
Wool Winder Said,
I love Red Velvet Cake, but will have to substitute Angel Food Cake with Sliced Strawberries and Fat-Free Cool Whip. Somehow that just doesn’t sound as good, does it?
Donna Said,
Aren’t you a sweet wife! I might have to try that this weekend.
Beth Said,
A cake like that would make anyone feel better! I know it was made with a lot of love.
Emily Said,
YUM!
We tried a red velvet cheesecake recipe this past christmas, but that didn’t turn out well. It did use one whole bottle of red food coloring, though.
Robby Said,
That cake, most assuredly, says, “I love you!” Hope the cake worked its’ magic (which was, of course, because you made it).
Hillary Said,
I hope that he’s feeling better.
Karen Said,
Yum! I bet that made him feel better!
LittleWit Said,
Aww that’s wonderful. I bet he loved it.
elizabeth Said,
That looks stunning! My husband’s sick and I thought I was being nice by surprising him with Girl Scout cookies! Ha!
Carrie Said,
Dang, I’m coming to YOUR house for breakfast!
Cookie Said,
Awwwwwwwwwww…
Now I need cake.
Sylvia Said,
You wouldn’t happen to know of a version that uses no grains or sugars or dairy? ::sigh:: I think DH will get socks for Valentine’s. Hope Dale’s rough week has reformed itself and that he has clear sailing for a long time to come.
Lucia Said,
I should bake one of those for Grant, who has a foul, green-salivaed, evil-breath, slimy monster of a deadline with biiig shaaaarp teeeeeth. Except we are both supposed to be trying to lose weight. I’ll try to think of something else… cake looks scrumptious, though.
Marcia Said,
Breathtaking! While not my favorite cake (I’ll eat just about ANY cake, though) it is my son’s…..they had one at their wedding!
Knitnana Said,
What a pretty idea and easy decorating (my favorite kind!). I hope it cheered Dale up!
(((hugs)))
JessaLu Said,
ooo pretty cake!
) I hope it worked!
Sara Said,
I am sure that gorgeous cake will cheer him up…Red Velvet Cake is sooooo good! I’ll have to try your recipe…

I love red velvet cake. There’s a restaurant a block or two from my son’s college that makes the.best red velvet cupcakes.

Oh YUM! I just printed out the recipe. I think I’ll do the cupcake version!
Nicole Said,

I’m in the same camp as Margene. Growing up in Europe there was no such thing. I do now though and your looks positively yummy!
Kathleen Said,
Oh, we love red velvet cake – just had one last weekend for Stephen’s birthday. Thanks for sharing!
Karen Said,
That looks delicious. I’ll bet it cheered Dale up.

Whoa! That’s a serious cake. I think I know what my daughter’s will be doing this weekend. Thanks!
--Deb Said,
Gee, Carole, guess what I made today?
livnletlrn Said,
My kids made this cake for our V-day celebration w/ extended family yesterday. It was indeed a winner, so thanks! Pics on my blog. I just noticed the coincidence that my mom also had pink tulips on her table!
HB Said,
I made red velevt cupcakes at Christmas for a work party. Another woman from ‘down South’ made a red velvet cake & her’s was a deeper, ruby red. I asked her how much food coloring she used and she whispered ” I’ll tell you a Southern secret – we use beet juice to make it red – no food coloring!” She did say you have to adjust the sugar to taste since beet juice is also sweet – it was a most amazing cake & the next time I bake it I’m going to try the beet juice..
