What is red velvet cake anyway?
The truth is, it’s basically a vanilla cake, with a small amount of cacao, which can sometimes react with the raising agent in the cake to make it turn a reddish colour. A modern day red velvet cake tends to use red food colouring, this however does not alter the flavour. If you can source a natural red food colouring you can go vibrant red if you so choose, or just a few drops or skip the colouring all together for this new chocolate spin on one of our most popular recipes
