Here's a cake I made for a Valentine's Day dinner at church. I didn't actually get to go because we had relatives in town! Anyhow, it was red velvet on the inside with almond buttercream. I know the purists in the audience will recoil - no cream cheese frosting with red velvet? sacrilege! - but I really like the flavor of the almond better. There are few cakes that truly benefit from cream cheese, and I just don't think an artificially-red chocolate cake is one of them. Sorry.
That said, here's a picture!
what a beautiful cake, jen! and i never knew red velvet cake was really chocolate. i mean, i could tell it wasn't naturally red...but chocolate was never on my list of guesses.
