Notes
- I do not recommend trying to whip this dip together by hand. Instead use a stand mixer or a hand held mixer to get the perfect consistency.
- Use a brand of cake mix you know and trust for the best results.
- Don't like red velvet cake? Swap that cake mix flavor for another you prefer!
- For a festive touch, serve this dip topped with sprinkles on top. Mini chocolate chips also make a tasty topping!
