Hello DTube and Steemians!

In this episode of In the Kitchen with Matt I will show you how to make Red Velvet Cake. This recipe for red velvet cake is really easy to do. I had a request from a few people to make this kind of cake so here we go. There is something elegant about these cakes. They just look so cool, and they taste amazing, especially when covered with a nice homemade cream cheese frosting. If I can make it you can make it, let's get baking!! :)
