I glanced at this recipe again and it's a bonafide laugher. There's no indication of the cake pan size. The number of servings is weird (10?), particularly for a round cake as pictured.
The combined weight of the three frosting ingredients is a whopping 34 ounces, or 3.4 ounces per serving. That's nearly the same amount as an entire stick of butter of a "frosting" that is all dairy fat.
The pairing suggestion of white chocolate or cookies is very peculiar.
All of this strangeness made me suspicious about the picture (no photo credit provided). A quick Google Image Search shows that it was probably pilfered from:
https://bakingmischief.com/small-red-velvet-cake/
which makes the photo a likely copyright violation.
Almost nothing makes sense here.
One of the weirdest recipes I've ever seen on the Internet.
This recipe is a mess. The standard practice is to list the ingredients in the order they are used. The frosting has no sweet ingredient. There are weird capitalization and punctuation errors. The oven temperature is way too low.
All of these are warning flags which would persuade me to find another recipe from a reputable source rather than blindly trusting this recipe author.
