I make the cupcakes instead, too tempting to have a whole cake laying around the house.

I just tore this recipe out of magazine before - it sounds great for Valentines Day!

Red Velvet Cupcakes

Makes 30 (1 cupcake) servings.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1 bottle (1 ounce) McCormick® Red Food Color
2 teaspoons McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract

Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe follows)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Set aside.

2. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in sour cream, milk, food color and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed until just blended. Do not overbeat. Spoon batter into 30 paper-lined muffin cups, filling each cup two-thirds full.

I've just seen a recipe with beetroot used in stead of food colouring. Beetroot is a great alternative to the chemicals in food colouring, also you can make a delish chocolate cake with beetroot.
