A bit of extra time after dinner last Tuesday was just right for trying out a new recipe that I'd recently grabbed: moist red velvet cake. Resulting in a denser—but, as promised: moist!—pair of layers, almost right with those call-outs and signals of red velvetyness, I added a quickly whipped-up vanilla bean-spiked cream cheese frosting to round out the fullness of this delicious crowd-pleaser. Those final frosting touches were added just before I headed to bed, so sampling had to wait...but it was worth it! A thin tasting slice on Wednesday, while the plumbers were here to make some sink adjustments, showed this was a tasty version without necessarily being elevated...perfectly pleasing but unassuming.
