Here is a recipe for a red velvet cake.
Ingredients
1 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
3 cups white sugar
5 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk
2 ounces red food coloring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. Sift together the flour, cocoa and baking powder; set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk. Mix well then stir in the vanilla and red food coloring. Pour batter into a 10 inch Bundt pan. Bake for 60 to 90 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour 2 (9-inch) cake pans and line each pan with a round of parchment paper.
Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl
Cream the butter, sugar and oil in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and beat until incorporated. Beat in the vanilla, vinegar and food coloring.
Add the flour mixture to the batter in 3 batches alternating with the buttermilk, mixing well after each addition. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool on a baking rack for 15 minutes before removing the cake from the pans. Let cool completely before frosting. Slice each cake into 2 layers and frost.
Frosting:Combine the cream, milk, vanilla bean and seeds in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Remove the vanilla bean and discard. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened to a paste, about 2 minutes. Scrape into a bowl, cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours.
Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat until the mixture is very fluffy and the sugar is totally dissolved, about 6 minutes. Add the cold paste, a few tablespoons at a time to the butter mixture and whip until light and fluffy.
Mix the red velvet cake mix with 1/3 cup of oil and two eggs and mix until smooth.Flour a working surface and roll the dough out. You can use cookie cutters to make these cookies festive and seasonal or just in fun and unique shapes Bake the Cookies at 350 for about 20 minutes or until they are done.

Then let the mixure cool completely by refrigerating for about one hour you want it to be cold to move on to the next step. Beat 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of prue churned butteror Crisco, and 1 tsp. of vanilla together in a mixing bowl. Add the cold flour mixture to it and continue beating until icing is smooth and without grittiness. And enjoy the good treat.It tastes just like the velvet cake :)
Red velvet cake / cupcakes is the exact same recipe for white or regular (yellow) cake, with the addition of a little bit of cocoa powder and a lot of red food coloring.
A different response:
One could make "mock" red velvet cupcakes with white cake mix and the addition of cocoa powder and red food coloring. But actual Red Velvet Cake, whether baked as a whole cake or as cupcakes, is made from a different recipe than that produced by a white cake mix. Please see the link below for a Red Velvet Cake recipe.
Remove cheesecake from oven; cool in pan on a wire rack 30 minutes. Cover and chill 8 hours. Beat 1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese and 1/4 cup butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth; gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until smooth. Spread evenly over top of cheesecake.
Red Velvet cake is made by combining the standard cake ingredients, such as shortening, eggs, flour, etc. But what makes it a Red Velvet cake is the addition of 2 ounces of liquid red food color, 2 tablespoons of cocoa and a tablespoon of vinegar (mixed in with buttermilk). It doesn't have enough cocoa to make it a chocolate cake, but it does give it a wonderful flavor and texture which is unique to Red Velvet cakes. The icing on a Red Velvet cake is typically a basic cream cheese icing.

Obviously Red velvet cake.
It doesn't have to be for a specific occasion. But red velvet cake is usually used for "fancier" occasions than just a birthday or a bake sale.
