Southern Girls Try Each Others Red Velvet Cake

[foxy]

Here's a cake I think is Meh. I never understood what was the big deal with Red Velvet Cake. It looks promising, but it tastes like nothing to me. Southerners are pretty passionate about it though. 

The first time I tried it was at a wedding. They brought out a 'groom's cake'  which I understand is a southern wedding tradition. I expected a nice chocolate taste, but it was bland. I tried it another time thinking perhaps the baker wasn't that good on my first try, but nope, just another flavorless cake in IMHO. What about you, have you tried it, what is your opinion of Red Velvet Cake?

This is a fun taste test video where southern girls try each others cake and compete for the the Best Red Velvet Cake baker.

They know their cakes!

I like cake, but it has to be good. I have not heard of that kind of cake before.

Red Velvet puts so much red food coloring into perfectly good chocolate cake, that it is all I can taste. I will pass on Red Velvet.
