This recipe was my Grandma's Great Grandmas' recipe. She made it every Christmas or if requested for our birthday. This is the only way I will eat a Red Velvet cake, it is sinfully rich and well worth the tine spent making it. Each time I make it I think of Grandma working in her kitchen with me beside her while she made it.

How To Make grandma harrison's old fashion red velvet cake
-
1Preheat oven 350
-
2Cream sugar and butter, add eggs ( make sure they are large if not use 3 eggs) beat until fluffy.
-
3Make a paste by mixing the cocoa and vinegar and add to butter mixture.
-
4Sift salt, baking soda and flour together, add this and buttermilk, vanilla and red food coloring to butter mixture.
-
5Pour batter into 2 round cake pans that have been coated with nonstick spray ( or what ever you use to prevent sticking to pan). Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. The cake layers will be thin so I would check them at 20 minutes to be safe. Varies with different ovens.
-
6While the cake is baking cream the butter and powder sugar and flour, sweet milk and vanilla. Once it is smooth and creamy add the coconut and pecans mixing well.
-
7Once the cake has cooled completely frost the cake. I use the icing sparingly on the middle layer just to make sure I have enough to cover entire cake.
