Red Velvet Cake

This is my red velvet cake. This picture isn't mine. I totally spaced it to get a picture before it was devoured. But this picture has the source below it but the recipe is NOT the same. I just used the picture for a reference as to what mine basically looked like. This came from Worldwide Ward Cookbook Secret Recipes. It was way easier than I thought and delicious! Enjoy!
