Seems like you'd be eating a lot of dye?

if you could find powders it would be nice. You get a truer color IMO.  Other than that I would go with paste. This will give a deeper color.  I would use liquid if i were doing a light pastel colored icing.

My grandma used to make this all the time.  Whenever I'd visit, I wanted to bake her recipes.  For my 12th birthday, I got to make the cake of my choice.  This was the one I wanted to make, except in purple.  What two colors make purple?  Of course, blue and red  :P  Except when it bakes   :o :o :o  It came out a light army green  :-X :-X :-X  I was horrified, especially since there were a bunch of relatives there  :'( for my birthday dinner.  It tasted fine, but looked awful.


Seems like you'd be eating a lot of dye?

Not really.  There's cocoa powder and vinegar (a very small amount) in there and it creates a reaction to help get the deep red - that and the red food dye.  Beet juice can also be used.

Lucky!  :D

It's not your run of the mill cake.  Very moist, dense, not too sweet and pretty to look at   ;D  The frosting makes it perfect.  It can be either a cream cheese frosting or (my favorite) a fluffy, cooked buttercream frosting which is not at all sweet and soooo creamy.

Cheesecake Factory makes good version of Red Velvet Cheesecake. Pretty rocking, though it's too rich for some.

And for "Cake Boss," I prefer Duff and the "Ace Of Cakes" crew myself....:P

I don't know, but it should certainly be against the law!!!
This link says 1200cals,

And this link about halfway down on the Yelp! page says 1500!!!

To whoever posted the calorie count for the cheesecakes,
Thank you for saving me from completely destroying my health tonight. 1556 unforgiving calories for a slice of red velvet cheesecake?! Absurd.

That is just not fair! A stick of butter only has 960 calories. The food police oughta investigate this  >:(  I'm writing my congressman! Bastards.

If it makes you feel any better Princess, one time a friend and me went to TCF, and after having lunch just before that we wanted a slice of cheesecake.
So my friend sits down and when the waitress takes our order he says "I'm going to order two because I want to out-eat this guy!"  Wrong move.
So he ordered his two, and I ordered my two. I told the waitress when he starts on his 2nd, bring out my third piece. So I ate my three pieces, and my friend only made it about 1/3 of the way through his 2nd, and I finished off the remainder of that!
I had the Choc/PB slice, the Kahlua coffee, and started with the now disco'd Coffee heath bar crunch.
I think I estimated that one meal calorie intake being about 2200+ cals in that one sitting....after we'd already eaten lunch!

Raining Blood Red Velvet Cake


The Bible says that when the world goes to shit, blood will rain down and fill our Six Flags slides with summer fun and excitement. Flowing down deluged sub-development streets, blood rivers will send Hummers awash over strip malls. Indeed, as Slayer reminds us in their 1986 song, Raining Blood, “the sky is turning red / return to power draws near.” [MP3] What Slayer is trying to say in this verse is that basically we are fucked. What better way to prep for blood rain than eating a Raining Blood Red Velvet Cake?


Cake Ingredients
½ cup shortening
1 ½ cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons of cocoa
Some red food coloring
1 teaspoon of salt
2 ½ cups of flour
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 cup of buttermilk
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 tablespoon of vinegar

Frosting Ingredients
1 lb. softened cream cheese
4 cups powdered sugar
2 sticks softened unsalted butter
Some vanilla (or essence

Directions
Cream shortening, beat in sugar gradually. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix cocoa and red coloring, add to creamed mixture. Add salt, flour and vanilla alternately with buttermilk, beating after each addition. Sprinkle soda over vinegar, pour vinegar over batter. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Bake in 2 8-inch pans for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. After they cool, smear frosting on one of the cakes and put the other one on top of it. Then add more frosting. Eat and enjoy the pleasant weather.

For the frosting, p.s., mix the butter, powdered sugar and cream cheese until it looks like frosting. Put it all over the cake, making little craters for your pools of blood.
