I know you can use beetroot instead of food colouring |
Re: Red Velvet Cake by marylandcakes: 7:06am On Mar 09, 2016 |
Rubyventures: Yes, but you won't get that very bright red colour, instead it will be a brownish colour. |
Re: Red Velvet Cake by Rubyventures: 1:00pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
marylandcakes: At least you will get more health benefits from substituting beetroot |

marylandcakes: Thanks for sharing. I always had this impression that it is compulsory to add a little bit of cocoa powder in red velvet cakes. Did you omit it or is this an indication that it isn't compulsory? Also,what brand of food colour can I use? The gel type e.g. wilton or the really watery type like foster clark's? TIA |
Re: Red Velvet Cake by marylandcakes: 11:04pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
goldmine: It was a typo error, thanks for pointing that out. Yes you will need 1 Tablespoon of cocoa powder. In the video I mixed it in with the flour. The gel colour is the best one to use. Don't use the watery colours, cos it will be difficult to get that deep red colour and it will change the texture of the cake. I hope I have been able to answer your queries? Good luck. 2 Likes |

marylandcakes: @ Goldmine, You can as well make use of powdered red colour. That's what i use and it comes out nice. 1 Like |

prettyangel10: I've tried a powdered colour but it gave the cake a gritty texture. What brand did you use? |
Re: Red Velvet Cake by prettyangel10(f): 6:25am On Mar 23, 2016 |
I use the preema brand. You see, I reduce the proportion I use. If the recipie calls for 1 tablespoon full, I instead level the spoon and I don't use the gel colour again. |
Re: Red Velvet Cake by marylandcakes: 8:55pm On Mar 23, 2016 |
prettyangel10: Thanks, but for now I will stick to gel colours cos that's what works for me maybe in the future i might try the powdered one. |
Re: Red Velvet Cake by prettyangel10(f): 9:18pm On Mar 23, 2016 |
No probs. Anyone that works for you. |
Re: Red Velvet Cake by Rubyventures: 12:05pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
one has to be very careful with dry food colouring because it can be mixed with other stuff. paste or gel is generally used. |
Re: Red Velvet Cake by marylandcakes: 2:11pm On Mar 25, 2016 |
Rubyventures: True |

Re: Red Velvet Cake by cynhamscakes(f): 7:18am On Aug 05, 2017 |
Nice one poster. I make mine in a similar way, just slight difference in measurement of the ingredients. The trick in using powdered colour is to use less amount of colour. A little too much will make the cake have bitter taste. |

Re: Red Velvet Cake by marylandcakes: 6:33pm On Aug 05, 2017 |
cynhamscakes: I wouldn't encourage the use of powdered colours. |
