Homemade Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
I came up with this recipe after going through tons of recipes and reviews. I like nice solid cakes, and this one is a little on the dense side but it's moist and has good amounts of chocolate and vanilla so that you can taste them but they're not overpowering. It is to-die-for good with frosting that is not too sweet or heavy.

Cook's Notes:
If you don't have buttermilk, squeeze juice of one lemon into a 1-cup measure and then fill it with milk. Let it sit 5 minutes before using.
Add 1 to 2 cups of powdered sugar to frosting once it is finished if you want to make it a little sweeter and more stiff.
