Red Velvet Cake with cream cheese frosting

3

Red Velvet Cake is very dramatic looking with its bright red color that is offset by a creamy white frosting. The reddish color is often enhanced by adding boiled beetroot juice ( baby beet food) or red food coloring. Beyond the striking appearance of the Red Velvet cake, it has a mild chocolate flavor with a moist and tender crumb. The mild chocolate flavor comes from adding a small amount of cocoa powder to the batter and buttermilk gives it a moist and tender crumb.
