I made your red velvet cake for a friend that had her 83 birthday. It brought tears to her eyes. She blew out her one candle and we all enjoyed the cake. Our grandsons were home from college and the Army. They were so good excited to take some with them. The frosting was so delicious and the cake was a favorite. Thank you for helping to make everyone happy.

I was a single mom for 12 years and two years ago I suddenly became a stepmom and a wife for the first time. I never cooked a day in my life and at 36 years old I now cook large meals for my very growing family. All because of your channel I’ve learned how to cook and my husband is also very thankful for your channel 😂 We love Natasha and all of her life saving recipes that end our busy days with such pleasantly full tummies. Thank you for teaching me how to cook for my family ❤️❤️❤️

I always mix the gel food coloring into the milk! Gets it all off the measuring spoon and you don’t overmix the batter

I'm 13 and I've been baking for 2 years :) And I absolutely love the passion that you have for baking. Your efforts are worth it, Natasha. Thank you for sharing such tasty delights.

A good tip to keep your cake platter clean from icing and decorating is using 4 sheets of parchment paper and lay it into a square on the platter. Then you can just pull out the parchment paper sheets when you're done icing and decorating! If that made sense lol I don't bake, but I've seen that tip before.

Natasha wasnt lying when she said that its a fancy bakery quality. I made this in a muffin form and it tastes soooo good. It tastes good even without the frosting. ❤️❤️❤️

I have made this 5 times we are addicted. It is THE BEST RED VELVET CAKE RECIPE I HAVE EVER TRIED. Thank you so much for this. I am about to make this again for my nieces. I use 3 7 inch pans to make it a 3 layer and the measuremnts are perfect for it. Thank you again.

Hi Natasha, my sister and I made this today for Valentine’s Day. It was so good! The cake was nice and moist. The frosting was not too sweet, it had the right amount of sweetness. This was the best cake recipe we made by you so far. Thanks for the recipe Natasha! Keep it up! We will continue to use more of your recipes :)

Just baked this cake for a birthday, perfect texture, taste. Best red velvet cake. Everyone went for seconds, and there was no cake leftover. Thanks a lot for this recipe.

i made this cake for my sister's 18th birthday and it was a total hit! i changed up the frosting a little bit and now I'm in love with this recipe :) thank you so much ❤

I am a 40+ year old man who got hurt on the job and decided to take on baking to get me past all this. I needed a guide through all the ingredients and you have been my Jedi master. Thank you

I tried this recipe Sunday. It's Wednesday now and the cake is still unbelievably moist. This is the softest red velvet cake I've ever had. I have to make some adjustments to the time and temp. After 30 minutes, mine was still liquid in the middle. I left it in for an additional 30 minutes and it started to burn at the bottom.

Omg her smile is makes my day alot better😁.❤

[sycorax]

This is by far the best recipe I've tried for a red velvet cake! So moist and delicious. The frosting adds the perfect sweetness and your tip about not having the ingredients soft worked wonders for me! Thank you so much ❤️❤️
