Dunked in Velvet

My sister is a master baker. Jason thoughtfully remembered my near year-long obsession with this red velvet cake, from the first time I saw it on Smitten Kitchen, and suggested it to my sister, who brought this beauty to life! The summer berries were a nice touch to offset the startling number etched in the middle! I'm so glad she picked this particular recipe, because you can really taste the cocoa inside (apparently a hard balance to strike with red velvet). The whole birthday had a delightful red theme (my favorite color), right down to the cakey red center.
