Vintage Red Velvet Sheet Cake



This is the red velvet cake that started it all — soft, tender, and beautifully rich, just like my Grandma used to make. Made completely from scratch and topped with silky, old-fashioned Ermine frosting (also known as heritage or boiled milk frosting), this cake is pure vintage magic. No cream cheese here — just a light, fluffy, and not-too-sweet frosting that lets the cocoa-kissed red velvet shine. This recipe has been passed down with love, and every bite tastes like tradition. Whether it’s for holidays, birthdays, or just because, Vintage Red Velvet Cake is a timeless treat that never goes out of style.
