My daughter, Rebecca, was looking at Red Velvet Cake recipes the other day. I said to her, why are looking those up? We have Grandma’s recipe from when we where little. I remember my Mom making this cake for years and years on our birthdays. It was an awesome tradition. This recipe is from a famous restaurant in New York in the ‘60s. She got it out of the newspaper. It was a tradition in our house growing up. The icing is very different from regular icing. You use regular, granulated sugar, which makes harder to make, but it is oh so good. This picture is of my sister, Joanne, on her 1st birthday in 1963. It was the first time Mom made the cake. RED VELVET CAKE by Jayne Holgate Keywords: dessert cake 6070611 Ingredients
