Ever since embracing her inner Southern woman as a temporary Texan (red velvet is a Southern thing, right?), Kate has been infatuated with red velvet cake. After polling a few players on the women's basketball team at Portland State, she found out many of the ladies shared her taste in cake. As a congratulations for finishing pre-season training, the ladies of the Brigade decided to dedicate this cake to the team.
They called it "The Double Header" as it was one-of-two cakes baked that night.
The cake turned out well, although the color was a little off - the amount of food coloring added was incorrect. Also, in wanting to add a bit of decoration to the top, sifted cocoa powder was added. This was a good thought, but the actual action did not equate to a pretty design. From now on, red velvet cakes will remain simple and flair-less.
