    I made several batches before finding the right combination of ingredients to make them have a dome-like rise that doesn't fall after cooling and the smooth, moist texture that all good Red Velvet recipes must have. I decided to go in a different direction with the frosting, instead of a cream cheese-like frosting, I went with a coconut cream frosting, a lot less sugar.It's so good, it will have you licking your fingers.  Trust me, you have to make this.
