Are you still here Melanie? I made my MIL the red velvet cake with the recipe you shared on here. It turned out pretty good, I used buttercream so I could decorate it....but it had a couple of dry spots and my red color was swirled in some spots? I think I didnt really fold the vinegar and baking powder very well, I was nervous to overmix...could that have been the culprit? Have you ever substituted butter for any of the shortening or added extra cocoa powder? I want to make it again and I always love to play around with recipes, so just curious. It was a beautiful color and most of it very moist, I think I overbaked it by a couple min, it was hard to tell when the middle was done. I want to do it again with the coconut frosting for my dad...he loves coconut (so do I).

Just looking for any baking tips you may have discovered from making this, thanks.
