Omg you’ve just got a new subscriber in me after 30 seconds of that red velvet cake vid! It’s my FAVORITE cake ever and I haven’t eaten it in a few years because my family went completely dye free with my middle child’s severe ADHD diagnosis! This is so exciting!!❤

[@caseydreamuslpsandmore2582]

The link won't work now.

[@r7939]

Use beetroot purée or beetroot juice. Doesn’t alter the flavour but natural and healthy. Edit - a few below comments have said it does alter the flavour. I don’t notice it, but perhaps am just used to it. Either way, beetroot in cake does go well. Also, some have suggested beetroot powder too which I’ll give a try. Thank you!

[@elegantsweets]

I tried that, but I didn't like the flavor of the beets. I may have put too much in and should try it again

They need to be raw. If you cook it first, it doesn't work as well

[@ThinkForYourself2025]

My grandma was born in the late 1930s and this is her favorite cake. Her family was poor, and this cake is like a chocolate cake, but you can use less chocolate, so it was more affordable. She doesn't care about the red food coloring, which is classic for her generation. She is still alive and almost 90.

I’m glad someone else is bringing attention to the ORIGINAL red velvet cake! I learned about this years ago and made it and nobody I’ve met knows that it wasn’t originally bright red like that.

[@JosetteFret93]

I believe it was some man (can’t remember which rich guy) who stayed at a fancy hotel (if I remember correctly it was the Waldorf Astoria) in the…forties?…who was served the original red velvet cake and the restaurant in the hotel had added beet juice to make it a little more red, but it affected the flavor so he started thinking of a way to make it redder without altering the flavor. He eventually came up with the cake that has very little cocoa powder (making it taste like a bland chocolate cake in my opinion) and a crap ton of red dye, coated in white icing. Magazines started advertising that red velvet cake as the new thing and the “cake of a wifetime” and it started gaining popularity.

[@phalanx3214]

I once did a research essay on red velvet cake-all of this is really accurate!! But because this is knowledge I never get to use, I want to add a bit; The “velvet” descriptor comes from how cakes before the Victorian era were made with unrefined flour, and were therefore rough and lumpy. Most cakes made with the newer, more processed ingredients of the Victorian era were called velvet, and red velvet sticks because it is essentially an evolution of Red Devil’s food cake, a rougher, older cake, which was a variant on the traditional devil’s food cake in that it contained buttermilk and so was red. Red Devil’s food cake evolved into one of the newer, “velvet” cakes and eventually had its natural red hue strengthened with food coloring. The first recorded instance of red food coloring being added to one of these cakes is in 1960, as one Mrs. Cragle published in the Denton-Record Chronicle of Texas. This recipe spread all over the country in the summer of 1960, and remained as kind of an underground hit until steel magnolias and other events which heightened it’s popularity in the 80’s, and into the 2000s and present day.

Unless you have a sensitivity, red food dye isn’t gonna harm you.

I have ALWAYS loved chocolate AND cake, I am a sweet tooth. But chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream for me are just meh-awful. But red velvet cake, it is my favourite. Tbf my mum made cocoa cupcakes when i was young and they were lovely but its just too heavy or dry or bitter or idk it just nearly always flops for me, but red velvet reigns supreme

[@lizzyrank5405]

See though there is an difference in taste and it makes me go crazy in how people saying that it tastes better because the red food coloring is making taste different. Like no they have different ingredients and it's not even the same cocoa used in red velvet and chocolate.

Beets, or maybe pomegranate, those things make a red so vibrant it could blind a man, but beet can come powdered so it doesn't affect the liquid ratio, and the earthy flavor is surprisingly easy to cover up. Also, I remember hearing vinegar was used to bring out a more reddish color in velvet cake, though it has been a while.

[@IOeste80]

I use vinegar….i thought it was a flavor thing though. Was never really sure.

[@madestmadhatter]

@IOeste80 I think it might be both, like the person who first did it did it for flavor but the result was a reddish brown

There’s so many veggies and fruit out there that can color it. Just really gotta take the time to find one that works best for whatever you want to color. Besides, our ancestors used different vegetation to make dyes anyway

@@oldankh i may be tripping but I think the issue is regarding Red dye 40 since they did specify red dye in particular, and as of recent that dye has been shown to be causing a health issues like migraines, hyperactivity or hives and as a result lately in other countries they’ve started to mark the dye with warning label’s. This is just my speculation on why she claimed not to though, could be that she also simply just wanted to make a more all natural cake

[@Misskraehe]

Yeah I agree. I have a friend who is severely allergic to red 40. She has been hospitalized by it several times because red is so easily found in nature that it’s hard to tell what has it in there sometimes without having labels available on everything. Scary stuff.

I use a natural food coloring powder made from beet root in the red velvet recipe I use. I'm fortunate to live in a city with multiple markets that have large organic departments with alternatives to things like artificial colorings. It works very well, doesn't leave any flavor, and gives that rich color that goes with the moniker of this cake. Red velvet is my younger daughter's absolute favorite, so I've made a lot of them!
