WALDORF-ASTORIA CHOCOLATE CAKE
As a child, my mother told me that this was considered to be JFK's favorite cake recipe. I know it became my choice for birthday cake every year. Today I substitute Splenda blend for the sugar and double sift the dry ingredients to make it fluffy. You cannot further reduce calories by using any of the light mayonnaises. if you do not have or like miracle whip, you can substitute regular mayonnaise with no change in quality.

WALDORF ASTORIA RED CAKE & WALDORF ICING
This recipe was my mother's. SUPPOSEDLY, this is the original of what would become known as the "Red Velvet Cake". As the story was told, this recipe was created by the Waldorf Astoria's baking Chef for the opening of the Waldorf or very shortly thereafter.

WALDORF-ASTORIA RED VELVET CAKE (1920S RECIPE)
Found on CakeCentral.com while researching the original recipe. I am personally not sure about this icing. I may try the other roux one. Originally posted by descakes. "This is the original Waldorf-Astoria Red Velvet Cake recipe and a huge favorite with family and clients alike! The Cream Cheese/Mascarpone Frosting is to die for:) I know it's going to sound odd but give it a try and you'll be delightfully surprised!" NOTE: I (cookfromscratch) tried this recipe yesterday and was sorely disappointed. It was a good recipe, but not lacking the flavor for Red Velvet.It was a lot of trouble for a good chocolate cake. The red color was also lacking, however, I did use natural food color due to allergies. I am going to keep looking. for a natural Red Velvet recipe.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- Butter three 9" round cake pans and line them with parchment paper or waxed paper.
- Melt Chocolate in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of boiling water or in the top of a double boiler (or melt in microwave for 20 - 25 seconds).
- Meanwhile. place the sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed for two minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and continue to mix on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula so everything is well incorporated.
- Add the melted chocolate to this mixture and continue to mix on low speed. Add the pureed beets and food coloring.
- Continue to mix on low speed until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Evenly divide the batter between the three prepared pans and tap down to remove air bubbles.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until center of cake springs back when touched, or when an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove the pans from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool for ten minutes in the pans, then turn the layers out onto the rack and let cool completely.
- Icing: Pour cream into a small bowl and whip to soft peaks. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- Place the cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed until it is soft and smooth.
- Add the mascarpone and continue to mix on low speed until the cheeses are well combined.
- Add the vanilla and powdered sugar and mix until everything is just combined.
- Turn off the mixer and fold in the whipped cream by hand with a spatula.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to assemble.
- Chef's note: Sliced canned beets are easier to work with in this recipe than whole beets.
- Original Poster's note - This cake works well as a wedding cake but use a cream cheese/buttercream as the icing noted here will not harden.
