My first attempt at a red velvet cake. Made it for my husbands birthday because I couldn't find one at the bakery. What luck! Because this was absolutely delicious! Everyone loved it and easy to make. The recipe does not state what size pan to use. I used 3 - 9 inch x 1 inch round pans. They were done in about 35 minutes. I also doubled the icing recipe to allow for plenty of frosting between and on top of layers. Will defiinitely use this recipe again.
