Ingredients

  • 1 package red velvet cake mix (regular size)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • FILLING:

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil and extract; beat on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium 2 minutes.
