Have you always loved red velvet desserts? I have!

When I was a little girl I always asked my mom for a “red birthday cake” and she always made me red velvet. I totally loved it as a kid, and now I am completely obsessed with it as an adult.

Who knew that there were so many amazing desserts that you could make that were red velvet flavored? I always thought of cake, but there are delicious ways to make red velvet cookies, cheesecake, dips, and bars as well.

Is Red Velvet Cake Just a Chocolate Cake?

Red Velvet Cake is traditionally served as a red, mahogany, maroon, crimson or scarlet colored chocolate layer cake. You will then want to serve it with a white cream cheese homemade frosting. The cake is commonly served on Holidays such as Christmas or Valentine’s Day.

Modern Day Red Velvet Cake is made with red dye that is added to the ingredient process. The result is a deep red cake that is not only beautiful to look at, but it tastes amazing too.

How Do You Make a Red Velvet Cake

You have a few different options when it comes to making the actual cake itself. If you are pressed for time you can quickly pick up a box cake mix from the store and whip together a delicious dessert that your friends and family will love.

If you feel like getting your hands dirty in the kitchen then making a homemade recipe is the way to go. Traditional cake recipes use simple ingredients — and a red velvet recipe is no different.

Eggs, Flour, Sugar, Oil, Cocoa Powder, Water, Red Food Dye, and a baking dish is all you need. Easy Peasy!

What sets Red Velvet apart and makes it special is the end color that really makes it pop!
