Kay's Almost Homemade Red Velvet Cake

A truly good red velvet cake must have a hint of cocoa and be moist and delicious!  The homemade version is wonderful, but sometimes I just don't have time to measure and mix, so this recipe is perfect for a quick red velvet that is moist and delicious!

1 box white cake mix, with pudding in the mix
3 eggs
8 tablespoons margarine, softened
1 cup buttermilk ( NO SUBSTITUTES HERE)
10-15 drops or 2 ounces red food coloring
4 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 tsp. almond flavoring

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients in large mixing bowl. Beat until well blended-- about 3 minutes. Pour batter evenly into two greased and floured 8 or 9 inch round pans. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Turn from pan and let cool completely. Frost with cream cheese icing.

Cream cheese icing:
1/2 stick softened unsalted butter
4 ounces of cream cheese, softened
2 cups confectioner's/powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla or almond flavoring ( I prefer almond)


Note:  Feel free to garnish with chocolate curls, nuts, or coconut.  Make it your own!
