I made this wonderful Red Velvet Cake for my sister-in-law, Stephanie’s birthday. The recipe comes from Southern Cakes by Nancie McDermott – another Charleston find. You can find the recipe here. Red Velvet Cake is a Southern classic immortalized by the Armadillo Groom’s Cake scene in Steel Magnolias.
What sets this cake apart is the Coconut-Pecan frosting – it’s amazing. And, I am thrilled that I finally mastered fluffy cooked buttercream! This has been an ongoing challenge for me with a few of the Baked Sunday Mornings recipes. The only change I made was to top the cake with shaved white chocolate.
Happy Birthday, Stephanie!

I have yet to try the cooked buttercream from the baked books. Perfect frosting for red velvet Susan, I think it´s a fantastic cake!

Susan, An absolutely gorgeous cake! You are such good Sister in Law!
I bet when John brought you home, his entire family stood up and cheered. Your in-laws are lucky indeed and I hope Stephanie was duly appreciative. Your cake looks fabulous – as a Southerner by osmosis after 4 years at Florida State, I am familiar with Red Velvet cake. I never could get over the color. As a nineteen-year-old, that was amazing to me. Happy Thanksgiving to you both and Braveheart and I look forward to seeing what you come up with over the holidays.
Over the top red velvet cake-love your frosting;-) thanks for sharing;-)
