Made a red velvet cake from scratch since I have family visiting. The frosting was really weird and the consistency was a little off. Tasted great though (cream cheese + other stuff). Thought you guys would like to see it. The cake itself is really moist, fortunately.

Actually works with the added stuff. It kind of moderates the cream cheese tang.

One cannot simply make frosting out of whatever they want.

You deserve that odd consistency for your insolence.

But I followed the recipe. :x I even used one of those gourmet mixer guys for like 5 minutes to try to smooth it out. :(

Cream cheese based frosting is pretty much the standard for red velvet cakes. The tastes work well together.

Isn't this the part where a guy walks up and says "Isn't Red Velvet just chocolate cake that has been dyed"?

I have never had anything with cream cheese frosting of any kind, where I didn't despise the icing.

It just....really disagrees with my tastebuds. Then again, an ungodly amount of food stuffs disagree with my tastebuds.

Not in my family. We chill the cake in the fridge and use Cool Whip for the 'frosting'. I won't eat red velvet cake any other way.

Looks scrumptious but it seems you have dishes pulling up.

Well, as much as I like cake, I must say I found the thread title very misleading.

Goldmarble is also the one who hates peanut butter cups, not liking cream cheese icing is the least of his crimes.

Dovid, I like to bake and your cake looks great, if you want a fool proof cream cheese frosting recipe, I have one. It's simple and can be modified very easily if you want to add different flavors.

I'd perhaps add a little more sugar to that icing, and also pay attention to chilling it a bit and making sure the cake is cooled off before applying it. Keeping the butter cool will stiffen up the whole thing.

As best I can tell from looking at it, anyway. It's been a while since I've done a serious amount of pastry work, but mixing time and content comes into it. You also have to adjust your amounts on the basis of how much moisture you have in the air, I've found.

Other thought: was the cream cheese and butter at room temp when you started?

No theyre clean. They get used so often that they stay out on the stove.
