BAKER SHOWS HOW RED VELVET CAKE IS MADE, CALLS OUT 'CHOCOLATE CAKE' MISCONCEPTION

TikTok user Ashley Cunningham (@sobadash_) showed how red velvet cake is prepared in a TikTok that amassed 1.5 million views. “Just to give you guys a perspective of why red velvet cake is not chocolate cake with food coloring,” she said.

According to the private chef, red velvet cake is more of a “buttermilk cake” than a chocolate one because, as Cunningham explained, there is only a small amount of cocoa powder in the cake, and it also contains buttermilk and vinegar.

“This is the ratio of flour to cocoa powder,” Cunningham said. “It’s literally just a little bit of flavor.”

Viewers thanked Cunningham for trying to do right by red velvet cake. “I’m so glad you’re showing this bc as a chocolate cake hater and red velvet cake lover, I knew there MUST have been a difference. I knew it tasted different!” one viewer wrote.
