Since berries are in season right now, here’s my absolute favorite red velvet cake recipe (courtesy of the lovely people at Epicurious): http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/108256. It ain’t healthy, but use local, organic berries and buttermilk, and we can all pretend that we’re saving the world with every bite.
Meanwhile, here’s a shot of yours truly, carrying said RV Cake at a recent Earth Pledge dinner party…
