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.

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.

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.
