I did a combination of beet juice and red food coloring to really make it red and it was absolutely beautiful with the white frosting on top. I think i'm going to make the cake into cup cakes the next time though.Daisypicker5https://www.blogger.com/profile/03874673869974893171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870704872366786532.post-44541321811177438332009-04-18T16:07:00.000-04:002009-04-18T16:07:00.000-04:00This cake recipe has the problem that it doesn't h...This cake recipe has the problem that it doesn't have buttermilk in it, which gives red velvet cake its unique crumb. According to lore the cake was either first created at the Waldorf Astoria, or it was a Southern creation with the color originally coming from beets. The recipes I have seen use peeled and grated raw beets. Twice cooking the beets probably resulted in the brown color instead of a vibrant red.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13996947275397214471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870704872366786532.post-50270900486621179432009-03-25T18:09:00.000-04:002009-03-25T18:09:00.000-04:00P.S.

Thanks for the warning tho. I have used the cooking liquid from beets to colour easter eggs, and that didn't change the egg flavour...perhaps just using the liquid in place of the applesause or something?...hmmmNuKiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10374074488545632435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870704872366786532.post-14368061948276124132009-03-24T23:40:00.000-04:002009-03-24T23:40:00.000-04:00I think, the red, is the "wow" factor that puts th...I think, the red, is the "wow" factor that puts this cake over the edge. With the addition of cocoa powder (even the small amount) makes one think you're having a chocolate cake (even though if you were you'd be adding more powder/chocolate). For me, the red makes me think about having a different type of cake, so I don't notice the "chocolate" flavor missing.<BR/><BR/>Sorry.. you didn't like it, but I can feel your pain....https://www.blogger.com/profile/06160664297355309810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870704872366786532.post-46980971321258900762009-03-23T20:12:00.000-04:002009-03-23T20:12:00.000-04:00shucks!
