His birthday is coming up in a couple of days and I really wish to bake him a cake, I'm just in such a dilemma! If I have ever had a Red Velvet Cake I don't remember anything distinctive about it, and since my bf doesn't order it anywhere I don't even have an idea of what to compare it to. He loves key lime pie and sour cream donuts. I can only guess that the buttermilk and vinegar gives the cake a bit of a "bite" that he likes. Does the above recipe fit those characteristics? Have you found a recipe that you like better?

Speaking of Red Velvet Cake, it may be time to bake one up with Valentine’s Day on its way. (Seems like a good time to eat red cake.)

When I first read this recipe, I knew that oats and buttermilk soaking overnight were a foundation for success. And, not only is this recipe moist and flavorful, it is quite healthy, made with all whole wheat flour and almost no fat.

The neighbors introduced me to Saint Cupcake, a bakery with two locations in my fantastic city of Portland. Check out www.saintcupcake.com and your mouth will water. The red velvet was the most beautiful color, like that perfect shade of lipstick I'm always searching for, and it had a huge dollop of cream cheese frosting on it with a few springy lime green sprinkles. I'm not sure if it was the cake or the packaging, but it was the most fantastic thing I've eaten in a long time.

In the same way that I will see any movie starring Bill Murray because I am pretty sure I will love it, I will try any new recipe that includes buttermilk. My Dutch mother-in-law drinks it straight and I admit that my love affair has not gone that far. But, I have yet to find a recipe with buttermilk that I do not like. One of my favorites is the buttermilk pancake recipe that a friend gave me a couple of years ago. It is so easy and so delicious, I have not used a pancake mix since then.

I have been searching for a recipe...dreaming about it...wondering what it tastes like. I must be honest, I've never had it before. It just looks so darn beautiful, and I seem to be drawn to red right now. I will give your recipe a try and let you know.
