Fun fact about the red: Without the red food coloring, red velvet cake can be (and used to only be) naturally red. Some pigments in the cocoa are dark or purple in alkali mixtures (think of Dutch cocoa and Oreos) and more red in acidic mixtures (like natural cocoa and red velvet). The acid can come from ingredients such as vinegar, lemon, and sour buttermilk.

You're correct in that red velvet cake does have its own flavor. It's not a chocolate cake flavor or like a yellow cake flavor even though it is it's own type of chocolate cake. I think this because of the vinegar used to create the buttermilk gives it is unique flavor. And the vinegar also helps keep the red color stay the beautiful shade of red.
My son has a delicous recipe for a red velvet cake that he will sometimes switch up the color. Like he's done a orange color for Halloween or for the fall season, green for St. Patrick's day and a deep blue just because he wanted it blue. It still tastes like a red velvet cake except the color just isn't at times red. A good red velvet is one of my favorite cakes.

I worked in a cupcake shop and I could not tell you how many people came in and would order the red velvet because they were "allergic to chocolate". We stopped trying to gently correct people because they always ordered it anyway 🙄

Thank you for doing a small cake. It pleases most of those who don’t need a large cake.

Red velvet is one of my favorites! Thanks - love your short videos!

[xXSimplySammyXx]

I hope you do more these long form recipes. Thank you!

[mypersonalaccount]

Thank you for solving this mystery! In land of plant-based, choColate cakes are really dry sometimes but i have never had a dry red velvet.

I am joyful supreme finding your channel, Jose. You got this!! Thanks for all you do😎

[senmetwo]

This looks so good! You deserve more subs ❤️ thanks for showing us this recipe!

[pippa]

As a baker I was seriously ready to crank on anything he did wrong. But he amazingly nailed every last little thing. Well done! Looks delicious!
Interesting fact hough, the original red velvet was made with beet juice!. If you like making old fashioned/original recipes, look one up with beet juice. Adds a mildly earthy flavor and deeper red color. 😉😘

1:24 highly recommend getting the paddle attachment with the silicone extension, it scrapes the bowl as it mixes and reduces the unnecessary downtime and babysitting a lot

[KatGandout]

Got to love when a crotch deodorant ad interrupts 🙄

I picked up red velvet ingredients today before I saw this so I'm looking forward to making this too! (Along with the bread recipe. 🍞)

Thanks again! 👍

(BTW... your lovely wife & you are adorable. Love when you film together!)

Been making this cake for nearly 50 years now. It's a favorite of the family... they even request it as their birthday cake, LOL. Love your videos, Jose!
