As an Atlanta native, red velvet cake was very commonplace. You’d find it anywhere and everywhere and it was always available at the store. Needless to say, I became very fond of this cake and find it very nostalgic today. It has mild notes of cocoa, paired with rich cream cheese icing and there is just something about that draws people in. That being said, as a lover of all things sheet cakes, I knew we had to do one!

Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 Cup + 7tbs All-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Pour over the entire thing and mix until smooth.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until browned on the edges and when you push in it bounces back.
