February calls for red velvet cake! Comment BAKE OFF for a link to the red velvet cake bake off (where I found my ideal red velvet recipe!) If you’ve been wondering what the difference is between red velvet cake and chocolate cake besides the food coloring…red velvet is traditionally supposed to be a lighter chocolate cake (always made with cocoa, not melted chocolate) with either vinegar or buttermilk for tang. It’s often paired with cream cheese frosting, but ermine frosting is also a great choice if you want something a little less sweet! For a little preview of the bake off: Crowd favorite: divascancook (my personal fav!) Easiest to make: zoebakes No food coloring: bravetart For the full breakdown, you can find the bake off analysis on my blog! #pancakeprincessbakeoff #redvelvet
