Cake Mix Red Velvet Cake

Posted by Donna:

At Christmas, Kimberly made a Red Velvet Cake that started off with a cake mix. One of the mother's where Kimberly teaches made this cake for the teachers, and all the teachers loved it. The mother was kind enough to share her recipe with them. And, Kimberly shared it with me. We had a fellowship meal today after our morning worship service, and I decided to make this cake. It's really, really moist.

Cake Mix Red Velvet Cake

1 butter yellow cake mix
1 small box chocolate instant pudding
1/2 cup oil
1 cup cold water
4 eggs
1 oz. red food coloring

Mix all the ingredients together and beat for about 3 minutes.
Pour into two round cake pans that have been lined with wax paper.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
After the cakes have cooled, frost the top of the first layer--add the second layer---then frost the top and sides of the two.


Frosting:

1 (8oz.) cream cheese, room temperature
1 stick butter, room temperature
2-3 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla




This is such a quick version of this cake ----and it's so good.
