Comments on: Red Velvet chess cake http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/02/23/red-velvet-chess-cake/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I was a bit disappointed when we cut into it at the restaurant although like you said, some people might freak out if its totally red. As it was with this deep red, a lot of people said "Oooh its so red" and I was thinking "Umm not really as red as I wanted it!" :lol: Hi airy fairy-Thanks!

I'm not sure, their chocolate mud cakes aren't really mud cakes at all so I am not sure how closely they would follow the Red Velvet recipe. It did look the right colour though!

It was nearly $7.. and came with a cream-cheese-ish like white frosting. I really liked it.. but I wondered how close to the real thing it was!? You have done brilliantly with yours.. A chess board too.. well done, I'm impressed! :-) Our local Safeway (Woolworths) did a red velvet cake for part of 2006/07 But I haven’t seen it in about 6 months.
