I two Southern friends lived in Germany a couple years ago, and they both love (and missed) red velvet cake. I made the cake for one birthday, and the other person asked for it for his birthday the next week!
While I don't like red velvet cake, I think it did turn out quite beautiful! I toasted the pecans with brown sugar and butter in a pan before putting them on the cake. The frosting is a simple cream cheese frosting.
