always the skeptic..
I was always skeptical about this particular cake ever since the whole red velvet craze came about. With a red velvet cake having its own unique color,flavor, and texture which only a few truly get right, I was a bit critical with Mary Grace since i thought that the Black Velvet cake was just a regular chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting trying to join the red velvet bandwagon.
After a while I decided to just go for it and give this "wannabe" a try. Boy was I mistaken. The cake layers have a very light chocolate flavor just like a red velvet has combined with a light yet velvety texture with a very fine crumb. The cream cheese frosting also had the right balance of tart and sweet, just complimenting the cake and not hogging all the flavors of the entire dessert.
In case there are some skeptics out there just like me, just go ahead and give it a try. You know you want to anyway!
