What is the right texture for a white cake? Red velvet cake? Devil's food cake?

The red velvet I made not too long ago came out dense (which I know is wrong). I am not too sure about the white cake. It seemed alright, but I worry I didn't get the right combination of lightness and density. I am going to make a Devil's food cake this week and I am unsure what the texture and taste should be (I know the taste is chocolaty...but is it a complex or rich?).

    well in baking everything matters. so the rv cake could have been over mixed, or you could be at a odd altitude and that is a mess in it self. the white cake should be moist. with a good crumb and and fairly light. the devils food cake is going to be a rich and semi dense cake.
