What is red velvet and why is it so good!?

Traditionally red velvet is a type of cake that is rich in flavor with a soft and moist crumb. It is flavored with both chocolate and vanilla to bring this harmonious flavor profile to life.

This traditional cake is distinguished by its red color. Back in the day people didn’t use red food coloring but got that color from using a non-dutched, anthocyanin-rich cocoa powder and vinegar.

Today we take a little bit of a shortcut and use red food coloring but the flavor is just as good, especially if paired with Cream cheese frosting.

Can you make these cookies without an electric mixer or a stand mixer?

You sure can. I usually prefer an electric mixer when making these because it makes it go by much faster.

But if you want to try making these red velvet chocolate chip cookies without, make sure your butter is softened and beat it well with the sugar and eggs to get everything properly emulsified.

Can you make red velvet desserts without red food coloring?

Red velvet is called red velvet because it is red. So If you’re wanting to make a redvelvet dessert make sure to use red food coloring.

Of course, it is gonna taste just as good without the food dye but it won’t look the part so make sure to use red food coloring!
