Paint the Velvet Red

LITTLE KNOW of the secret of a Red Velvet Cake

Any idea why is it red and it's origin?

Red Velvet is actually a Chocolate Butter Cake.
It's origin color is Red-ish Brown.
It's the Chemical Reaction of Cocoa + Baking Soda



How come it's so Striking Red?

 

Some will say it's Beetroot, some will say it's Natural.

The truth is Red Food Coloring 

 Here's 3 Reasons Why

1) Marketing *Bait the Catch

- Pay attention to how Red Velvet Cake are being marketed

- Most will say it's made with Beetroot/Strawberry/Raspberry but how about "We don't use RED Food Coloring?"- Would you buy if you were told that it's so pretty red because of Food Coloring? 

2) We Eat with our Eyes *Yummy

- Without Red Coloring & Beetroot it will look Red-ish Brown
- Without Red Coloring , With Beetroot it will look Purplish Brown

- Would you buy a Red-ish Brown Red Velvet Cake?

3)  How Dramatic can it be?

- Usually people use a few drops of Red Coloring in Food *I think it's reasonable

- You would need about 1/2 a bottle of Red Coloring for one cake to make it look Beautiful Red

Even the Hulk looks so much more handsome when he's Red
*Please Don't Bash me like how you did with Loki
