Apparently, when I make red velvet, no one likes it. I mean, the whole process, from start to finish, was a disaster. I MAY have set myself up for failure when I realized I didn't have 2 critical ingredients: cake flour and buttermilk. But, as any good baking blogger would do, I took to the web to find suitable substitutions.
I already knew that you can make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a one-cup measure and finishing it off with regular milk and letting the mixture sit for ten minutes.
I found that you can also make your own cake flour by adding a teaspoon of cornstarch to a one-cup measure and finishing it off with AP flour. Who knew?

Even though I knew I was headed for a loss, I soldiered on and baked 'em up. Again, EW.
I won't even bother to post the recipe. I like you all too much.
That is too bad! Red Velvet is my favorite. You'll have to find a new recipe to post because I've only used a box mix to make them. I'd love to try a version from scratch!
