Red Velvet Cake image

This is the most wonderful recipe for Red Velvet Cake (I use pecans not walnuts). Got this from a friend in Georgia a while back and have made it lots of times. It's my husband's favorite cake, and whenever I bring it to a potluck everybody loves it.

The cake was beautiful, but it was a little dry. I think I would add more liquid to the batter next time.
