Red and Green Velvet Cake! image

I wanted to make something creative for Christmas, but I didn't want to make a simple red velvet cake. So this is what I came up with! A very colorful red and green velvet cake! This is fairly simple, and meant to prevent dirtying up a lot of dishes.

I'm not a big fan of red velvet cake, but this one is an exception. It's moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement.
