I've been making Red Velvet Cake for many years, trying slight changes in the recipe until coming up with one I consider "tried and proven." Conveniently, it starts with a cake mix and turns out beautifully every time. -Priscilla Weaver, Hagerstown, Maryland

Tray a small can of crushed pineapples. Get out all the juice with paper towels. mix with some of the frosting enough to cover the middle of the cake.

I did not do the listed frosting. I did the frosting from the Pumpkin Sheet Cake recipe (another one of my favorites)

This is a great cake. The frosting is my "go to" white frosting. It is a favorite of everyone. Make sure you chill the flour mixture until it is cold.

It was okay. I would definitely use a different frosting next time, maybe like others said and do a cream cheese one.

Cake was wonderful. I read the other review and decided to try a cream cheese frosting instead. I chose the frosting that went with the frosted banana bars (prize winning). turned out great!

The cake itself was great but the frosting didn't turn out. It tasted horrible.
