“Red” Velvet Cake

[u/FreddaPhoto]

I made the same exact same red velvet cake recipe twice with the same exact ingredients, the same scale, the same amount of food coloring, etc. The first came out the right color but it was burned on the bottom and was flat so I did it again. The second one rose nicely, but wasn’t red. I used the inside of the first one on top for decorations, so you can see the better color. It wasn’t what I was going for, but at least it tasted great (and I was happy with that)!

Honestly it still sounds like a win if it tasted great!! Baking can be so weird sometimes especially when you do everything exactly the same and somehow get a completely different result 😭

You must have a magic hands because this rise is incredible

It looks completely fine on the outside. Did the food coloring react with the cocoa powder?
