Semi-Homemade Red Velvet Cake Bars Recipe

You’ll have a hard time not licking the batter off the spoon when you make this Semi-Homemade Red Velvet Cake Bars recipe!

There’s nothing more Southern as far as desserts go than red velvet cake. Even those that swear they don’t like regular vanilla or chocolate cakes can be fooled by the lure of all things red velvet.

Truth be told, red velvet is usually a white cake with lots of food coloring or a chocolate cake with (you guessed it) lots of food coloring.

While cakes are usually reserved for special occasions, these semi-homemade red velvet cake bars can be enjoyed any time. Y’all know I don’t like spending any more time than necessary doing anything from cleaning to cooking to organizing. So you better believe that when there’s a legitimate shortcut in a recipe that not only works but tastes great, I’m all in.

When you make something individually portioned and top it with sprinkles it’s automatically less formal and ready for dessert any day of the week!
