Category:     Dessert

Description:
My family used to make this cake on special occasions. It does look like red velvet. I have substituted white spelt flour for cake flour and soured soy milk for buttermilk in the cake. I have substituted water for milk in the icing, and it tastes perfectly fine. This cake is quite rich and would be decadent for Valentine's Day. (Makes double layer 9-inch cake)
