    What Is Red Velvet Cake?

    A lot of people wonder if there is really any difference between red velvet cake and chocolate cake other than adding some red food coloring.  The answer is: yes!  Traditionally, red velvet cake has less cocoa powder in it than a chocolate cake.  A red velvet cupcake will still have a chocolate taste to it due to the cocoa powder, but not nearly as much as your traditional chocolate cake or cupcake.

    A red velvet cupcake recipe also usually includes buttermilk, which gives it that deliciously light and fluffy texture.  And red velvet cake is most often topped with white cream cheese icing, which rounds out that iconic flavor that we all know and love.

      In fact I used dairy free milk for the gluten free mini red velvet cupcakes pictured above. While the gluten free mini red velvet cupcakes are dairy free, I did use my easy cream cheese frosting .

      Hi! I’m about to make these and I’m putting together my shopping list. But you don’t specify
      *what type of vinegar* to use!!!
      White? Apple cider vinegar?

        Hello. We just mean White Vinegar. Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll clarify it in the recipe.

          Thank you! I’ll let you know how they turn out. I’m planning on frosting them with a buttercream recipe that uses 1/2 butter & 1/2 cream cheese. Hopefully, the best of both worlds!
