How to Make Mom's Easy Red Velvet Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, eggs, water, and vinegar according to the cake mix instructions. Gently fold in the cocoa powder.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for the time specified on the cake mix box (usually around 30-35 minutes), or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost the layers with cream cheese frosting. Sprinkle the top with crushed pecans or walnuts (optional).
- Enjoy your irresistible homemade red velvet cake!
