recipe for red velvet cake
Just the name "Red Velvet" brings to mind luxury, richness and royalty, like the plush velvet used for the Crown Jewels and the vibrant hue of the Red Carpet for Hollywood's elite.
Could a cake taste this rich, vibrant and velvety? The power of the name alone begs you to give it a try, then you slice into it and see the richness of the color contrasted against its white frosting, unlike any other cake and who can resist a bite!
All red velvet cakes are not created equal, for the best flavor the juice of fresh red beets should be used instead of red food coloring. The use of red beetroot also adds moisture to the cake.
