Lincoln’s Red Velvet (Cheesecake) Cake. Wednesday, April 7, 2010 Lincoln’s Red Velvet (Cheesecake) Cake Psssst…. there’s a surprise inside this pale exterior! Oh yeah! Red Velvet Cake, with Cream Cheese Frosting… AND A LAYER OF CHEESECAKE IN THE MIDDLE! This cake has been in the planning process since February. I spent a LOT of time thinking about “Lincoln’s Cake” (which is what I always referred to it as when discussing it). When it came down to choosing the actual recipes I would follow, I wanted sources I trusted. Now for some notes on the structure and assembly of this gorgeous cake. Now, you probably want to know what this tastes like, right? I know I don’t usually write this much, but this cake was just so delicious, and surprisingly easier than I expected. This cake was so delicious and stunningly beautiful, I did something I’ve NEVER done before. (Love the idea of this cake, but are you more of a chocolate & peanut butter person?

Sometimes we just can’t handle 12 servings. Sometimes we eat them all by ourselves. Sometimes we eat them all by ourselves in two hours. Sometimes we eat them all by ourselves in a matter of minutes. Sometimes it’s the best thing ever. FYI: I have no idea what that is like. Haven’t you always wished you could make just enough dessert for yourself? Or… just yourself? Me too. But more often than not, I’ve found it to be a hassle to drag out the mixer, cream the sugar and butter, sift the dry ingredients and all that fun stuff for a measly two cupcakes.

What can I say? Well, I was lazy. It is definitely your typical white cake; fluffy and soft, full of vanilla flavor, and the perfect vehicle for some fluffy white frosting.
