Someone asked for a cake recipe. So I sent them my red velvet one, strange at it may sound I usually don't expect people to try my recipes. 2hrs later she sent me this pic. This is what red velvet is meant to look like. She even made the cream cheese icing 😍👌🏾 
Every time I post this recipe the "why not beetroot" tweets start. The reason red velvet was made with beetroot is because there weren't any food colours back in the day. Also the colour of the cocoa they used would change to a dark maroon when an acid like buttermilk was added.
There's another red velvet recipe I've shared on here before, that makes use of beetroot pulp.
