Cooking A Dream

Used Half the food coloring than other recipes and No cocoa powder added in my Red Velvet Cake recipe. I know you will ask why?
because cocoa powder makes the red color dark maroon so you end up adding a ton of food color, It also gives brown patches.
We eat chocolate cake, we eat vanilla cake, the main point of making Red velvet cake is the beautiful Red color of this cake And I want my red velvet cake to be smooth ruby red without extra food coloring.
So I made the base cake vanilla instead of chocolate cake.
I've tried both and I prefer this way. The color is way more vibrant.
My amazing cream cheese frosting recipe is enough to bring out the flavor.
If you still want the chocolate flavor then add a little bit of chocolate essence. Try this new recipe for a soft moist great tasting vibrant red velvet cake on this Christmas.
