Therefore, 2 tbs (30cc) in 1 oz. How do you come up with 3? 1 tsp = 5cc , 1oz=30cc. 3 tsp per tbs = 15 cc per tbs. Therefore, 2 tbs (30cc) in 1 oz. How do you come up with 3?

Always has been my favorite cake. I must say, and no disrecect intended, you have the wroing icing. CC icing is great, on other cakes, but to me, it does not complement the RV cake. The best icing is the fluvvy cooked icing. It is wonderful, when done right. As my cousin Susan says, "RV cake should have white fluffy icing and be eaten off of fine china". I totally agree! Again, I mean no disrespect at all. CC icing is great on carrot cake and Italian cream cheese cakes, but please, not on my RV! Billy RV cake is to die for! Always has been my favorite cake.

Will let you know how it turns out, but I did want to underscore what other poster wrote: 1 oz = 3 Tbs. I ended up using 6 Tbs/ 2 oz of red dye which, from the look of the cakes, seems like plenty.

Although it took 20 minutes to bake, not 40. I didn't even have to use the conventional setting. I hope it's not burnt. T_T Great recipe! Although it took 20 minutes to bake, not 40.

The cake is already a little brown from the cocoa. Hi Meg — I don’t think it would come out green, but a muddy color. The cake is already a little brown from the cocoa.

I love that there is a generous amount of cocoa powder in the recipe; it makes the cake taste wonderful and not "just red" like most recipes. :) I was wondering, could you replace the red food coloring with green to make green velvet cake for St. Patrick's Day?

Perfect turn out on this one. I only used 4 tablespoons of red dye and it worked perfectly. Also, the recipe states that 6 tablespoons of red dye is equivalent to 3 ounces. That is not correct. 1 ounce is almost 3 tablespoons. Other than that, it's a great recipe! Icing was perfect. Moisture was perfect. This was a great recipe. Perfect turn out on this one.
