That's it. I'm gonna make a vanilla cake and add green food dye to it and name it something like forest satin.

I did the same thing but only had blue food coloring. So when I presented it, I called it blue waffle.

I made this yesterday and it’s the best recipe ever... 100% recommended

[craftingunicorns]

Okay I have to say.. this recipe is absolutely amazing. I’m not saying this for the likes or whatever, just my honest opinion, it’s brilliant. The flavours are delicious and it tastes exactly like the red velvet I’ve tried from a bakery called Glen’s. Basically, I talk a lot but also this cake is a *MUST TRY* ✨

I don't wanna make the cake, I just came to see how it becomes red

[nixnardelli]

made it twice now.. with Gluten Free flour, last nights effort was with self raising and half as much baking soda. it was perfect and rose to a beautiful sponge... love your recipe, thank you.

[CookingStudiobyAsha]

I love how elegant this cake looks, yet it is still so easy to make. Perfect for any Valentine's Day celebration.

[raheemamuskan]

for everyone saying red velvet is just chocolate cake with food color you guysss are wrong
red velvet has a subtle acidic taste to it and it is also made w cocoa

*So this is how to make Joy, Irene, Seulgi, Yeri and Wendy.*

Probably late to the party, but I really like this recipe! I originally came to learn how to makes this, and found that, when removing the dye and cocoa powder, you can get an amazing vanilla cake out of it. Personally I like to reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4, so 1 1/4 of a cup of sugar, and it quickly became one of my family’s favorite cakes. We really just enjoy it without frosting as a delicious treat to go with coffee.

This cake turned out absolutely AMAZING! Thank you! I made this for my best friends birthday and everyone couldn’t get enough of it! I had 2 people ask me to make them one!! Its super moist as well! Just follow the directions. The only thing I did differently was add more powdered sugar to the whipping cream to make it thicker (my preference) but this recipe is truly a gift!!

[nisharajakumar]

Tried it. Came out really well. Thanks.
the red color quantity, 1/2 tbsp was sufficient for me. And cooking time was 45 mins.
