I bake cakes a lot and I like different flavors. I really like my key lime cake and strawberry cakes. And a few weeks ago I made a Snickerdoodle cake with cream cheese frosting for my dad's birthday and it was amazingly good.
If it is a plain flavor like chocolate or white, I feel like I need to jazz it up with a more interesting filling or frosting.
can someone explain to me "red velvet is gross"? isn't it just red colored chocolate? i don't get it
Hell no. That's how Yankees do it. Real RVC is a u inquest flavor that I cannot describe well, but it's good and moist and you cannot taste cocoa. If you can taste cocoa it isn't a real RVC.

I get the "gross" factor because it's taking a normal cake and adding a whole bottle of red food coloring and calling it something else. I notice this with recipes on Pinterest... a bottle of red food coloring doesn't make something taste better, people! It's just chemicals. Make it normal and don't call it "red velvet." Save yourself the cancer scare from ingesting a gallon of artificial Red #3 in your "red velvet" brownies.

But you're wrong. Real RV cake is a gross shade of....puke orange, lol, before the coloring is added. The color is there to make it actually look appealing. It is NOT a chocolate cake colored red. That's a red chocolate cake. If that's all you've ever had then you've never had a real RV cake before.
