I've always made them from scratch, but if I were going to try using a devils food cake mix, I would substitute the amount of water called for in the directions with an equal amount of buttermilk with one teaspoon of vinegar and two ounces of red food coloring.

Just add the food coloring and vinegar in the measuring cup first, then add the buttermilk until it is the same amount of water called for in the directions.

Sometimes the red food-coloring in red velvet cake can have a bitter taste. (It takes a lot of red color to make the cake such a rich red). Some companies, such as Wilton, make no-taste reds that don't affect the taste of the cake.

Yes! If you like your cakes to have a unique taste you can definitely add whatever you want! I would stick more to red flavors; as in strawberry or raspberry. Baking is art, make it your own!

Where does red velvet cake come from?

The red in a red velvet cake is caused by the acid reacting with the anthocyanine in cocoa, but as the red coloring is not that pronounced due to high processing in modern cocoa powders, food coloring is added; any food coloring is therefore usable in red velvet cakes.

Who started using beetle bug blood for red velvet cake?

No one. Red velvet cake is really chocolate cake with a bit of red food dye added.ANS2:Nobody. Carmine dye does not come beetles, it comes from scale insects...a whole different Order. Specifically, it is extracted from the cochineal, an insect found in Mexico and South American. The dye was first used for dyeing cloth. It became an important trade item in the 1500's. We'll probably never know the name of the innovator because of the loss of the historic records from the indigenous people during the conquest by the Europeans.


How long will red velvet cake discolor the stool?

The combination of red food coloring plus cocoa are what gives red velvet cake its unique red color. But it isn't just the cocoa and food coloring that makes it a red velvet cake; the rest of the ingredients are what gives it the distinctive flavor that differs from a traditional chocolate cake.


Is red velvet cake made out of beetles?

No, Red Velvet Cake is made from flour, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, a bit of cocoa powder and a good deal of red food coloring. See attached link for a recipe for Red Velvet Cake.It's true that there is a particular kind of red food coloring (carmine) that is made from insects. However, you certainly don't have to use that particular type of food coloring to make red velvet cake, and even if you do, you're not using the actual insects directly, but rather a compound extracted from them. (Also, cochineal insects technically aren't "beetles" anyway... beetles are order Coleoptera, and cochineal insects are in order Hemiptera, though I realize that doesn't necessarily make it any more palatable to think about eating them.)
