[@Jeffeffery9]

Dear Delta and MOM executives, Red velvet cake historically came from a little bit of a different recipe. Now back in the day, the cocoa powder we were using was a little bit more dusty and musty... The cocoa powder would oxidize via a chemical reaction while it mingles with air. This oxidization caused the powder to turn from brown to red. Thus, the resultant cake would be a pleasant red color. In my opinion, I believe this type of thing may have been more impressive before we figured out shit like science and the internet. Red velvet and chocolate cake today are two distinct understandings (culinarily). The modern red velvet recipe typically uses red food coloring as you've mentioned. The GMO artists over at Monsanto have mastered no longer letting our powder oxidize. In addition, red velvet recipes typically call upon a cream cheese frosting, whereas the most common frosting for chocolate cake is either chocolate or vanilla buttercream icing. In my opinion, though the two cakes are now somewhat distinct, they are - in essence - the same thing. I picked up on the tidbit (potentially theoretical) that your favorite cake flavor is yellow cake with chocolate frosting. As a fellow woman of taste, we may only hope the red velvet people and the chocolate people put down their weapons and catch up to us. Cheers to you, mother. ❤❤❤ Love, Very JD 🔸️🔶️🔶️🔸️🔸️🔶️🔶️🔸️🔸️

Came here to say this! Old red velvet cake recipes also included vinegar, which contributed to the oxidization. In place of vinegar, I use a splash of freshly brewed coffee, which has similar acidic properties - I find that it adds a smooth richness and goes wonderfully with the cocoa. I get where Delta is coming from though - most places do NOT make good red velvet cake and leave me underwhelmed. Not me, though

[@John-uz4et]

A lot words but you didn’t mention the biggest factor which is vinegar, red velvet has vinegar in it. That’s why it tastes less sweet and salad like. It F-ing Gross.

[@SalvagedCreativity]

Really interesting, I will save this to bring up in conversation about how I hate red velvet lol

[@Heybabetv]

Some also used beet juice to make it red

[@user8d260]

Dear Delta the prophetess, Im astonished and genuinely moved from your dissertation on red velvet cake. Not only upon listening did I absolutely agree, I cussed out all red velvet cakes in existence. Furthermore, today marks the day that my darling angel kitten was sent to the hospital for getting into, guess what, a poorly sliced wedge of Porto’s red velvet cake (which contains chocolate but doesn’t even taste chocolatey like what?? What is the actual point of red velvet cake if not just the food coloring??). Anyways, thank you, Delta, as always for your service to this country. May God bless you

[@iBENchant]

Red velvet cake is mildly CHOCOLATE with a tart profile cake dyed red w/ cream cheese icing. LOVE it!!❤ there’s are many different red velvet cakes out there.

[@gauravvikalp]

So, about the red velvet- I think the point was to add very small amount of coco powder in the cake batter with the acidic vinegar- which reacts and gives the cake a faint, dusty pink hue, but not red. The colour thing happened later. The technique of making red velvet is slightly different and should give you a more moist cake( I think it’s called reverse creaming). Having said that, all my knowledge on this is coming from watching Claire Saffits and not because of any culinary experience

[@jemambrose8636]
