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!!❤

[@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

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.

[@um2913]

@@anapple6912when it’s made right it tastes really good definitely has a more chocolatey taste but not like in a crazy overwhelming way like some other super chocolatey cakes. I prefer to not have a cream cheese frosting tho bc it’s often too sweet and just like too thick and heavy.

[@ilhamabdirizaq4307]

[@bodyofhope]

​@@anapple6912 as a chocolate lover, red velvet cake is basically a vanilla cake with a hint of chocolate if you try very hard to taste it. (I can never taste the chocolate and have had many versions as it's my sister and mother's favorite bc of its look.) You're mostly tasting the cream cheese frosting which is the best part by far.

[@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.

I use beetroot powder to color mine. Doesn’t have much of a taste after adding cocoa powder

True red velvet is also made with an Ermine frosting, not cream cheese.

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

God bless you for knowing this! Drives me crazy when people use a cream cheese frosting.

[@immafaint673]

Thank you! Thank you!

[@jean-francoisdaignault9612]

My favourite frosting, and deserves to be better known

[@melindawedgewood6462]

@jean-francoisdaignault9612 agreed! Sugarologie did a frosting comparison and Ermine did so well for heat tolerance (hello, Southern, lol) and structure and flavor. Seemed to surprise her!

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

@@melindawedgewood6462 Very interesting. All I know is that particular cake (I think the mellow cocoa flavor) is a perfect pairing with the Ermine frosting. Heaven! and worthy of The Waldorf Astoria. It kills me how everyone has been duped by the cream cheese frosting! That tang is off-putting. Cream cheese frosting goes well with carrot cake, though.

Idc how much people say it's no different than chocolate cake, it is better, almost always it is more moist, or flavorful, I love it

[@lsmithgoose]

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.

[@lindsayhobbs6536]

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!

[@josiee1120]

Red velvet is my all time favorite cake!

[@jon368100]

Red food coloring is only toxic if you eat about a bowl of pure dye multiple days in a row. Thats the amount those rats were given in that one study. Food dyes are safe.

[@nataleedibos3635]

If a lot of it is toxic that means a small amount is also toxic

[@rosebudmelissa]

​@@nataleedibos3635 The dose makes the poison. Even water is lethal in large enough quantities. Your body needs nutrients in a proper balance, and is designed to filter out many different toxins in limited quantities. Some things we have a much larger range of tolerance for, and there are certain substances that can kill or do harm in relatively small doses, so research is necessary to determine safe limits, but it's hard to ethically research the safe limits and long term consequences of food and food additives and even scientists have been known to make mistakes or even lie sometimes which muddies the waters.

[@Paperbag34]

@@nataleedibos3635I don't even want to explain how silly that sentence is. _Everything_ can be toxic in high concentrations. _Water_ can kill you if you drink too much of it.

[@junkyardjess9360]

I would have just called it brown velvet or dye free velvet. It looks just as appetizing without the color to me. I don't expect my food to be vibrantly colored.

[@fionna_cool_girl]

When my family moved to Texas, my grandma got an armadillo cake for my dad's birthday with red velvet cake because armadillos are pretty common around here. I thought it was so funny and cool. I'm not sure if it was a reference to that clip you mentioned but my dad loved the cake. Tasted great too.

[@brighteyes4568]

i love red velvet cake.

[@christosmani]

Others were faster than me but beetroot or Rubia tinctorum roots are a common way for Greeks to dye their clothes and eggs during easter. Very vibrand and maybe use some acidic sucstance to make it even more vibrant!

[@christosmani]

Fun fact! Rubia tinctorum's greek name is also μπογιά (=paint). That's how strong it is!

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

Red velvet cake is one of my dad’s favorite kinds of cake, and it’s also one of my favorites too. So much so that I requested a green velvet cake for my 20th birthday. (Green is my favorite color).

[@benfurbank]

Food dye is made from crushed up coccineals bugs. That's as natural as you get

[@divinityomine6935]

Right? And since when were people against eating stuff like that? Snails and frogs are considered gourmet. People eat crickets. Crabs, Lobster, and shrimp are like the cockroaches of the sea, consuming waste and stuff. Like??? Just eat it youre fine 😂

[@amyheart5567]

That’s interesting. I must remind you though, not every natural product is healthy!

[@oldankh]

​@@amyheart5567Cochineal insects are completely safe and healthy (unless you have an allergy obviously) A lot of cosmetics, pastries and yogurts are dyed using Cochineal insects. Perhaps you should have done a Google search before trying to suggest they are not "healthy"

[@morgandrawsstuff2366]

@@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

[@ladyinsect6444]

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.

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
