red velvet cake

My southern roots have a strong tie with this cake. I came across a recipe that was credited to the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York. I do not know if that is true but I took the recipe and tweaked it to produce what turns out to be a moist, tasty cake. My friend Veta requested this cake for her 78th birthday, hence the picture. I recommend making the layers up to two days in advance.
