red velvet cake for the win!

[tsuki_no_bara]

ladies and gentlemen, we have achieved cake. *\o/* it's a gorgeous dark red and i'm really not kidding about that - i got crumbs on the cream cheese frosting and it looks like it's bleeding. i took some pictures. :D also i didn't grease the pan or anything because it's a non-stick pan, and the outside pieces of cake are kind of, uh, chewy around the outside edges. could i get less chewy and more cakey edges if i greased the pan first? on the plus side, the cake didn't stick, as promised. and it's moist and yummy.

i'd like to take this moment to thank saunteringdown for mentioning it in friendly hostility enough times that i went "i want to make that now, dammit," and for later whispering "psst... want a recipe for red velvet cake?"

did i mention it's red? the name does not lie. i'm kind of impressed at the redness.

also! if anyone out there in the greater boston area wants some cake? come on over. i have cake. :D
