I finally tried Minette's vanilla cake recipe. It is so simple and sooo YUMMMM! I usually don't each much cake, yes, it is true, but this vanilla cake has me.

I used Minette Rushing's red velvet recipe. It's part of her cookbook. It's amazing. It's worth every single penny I spent for it. Jacob specifically requested it. I would say it would hurt my feelings but it didn't. It is better than mine.
