    The red originally came from the reaction between the anthocyanin in the cocoa reacted with the baking soda and turned reddish. Nowadays cocoa is generally processed in a way that means this does not happen.

    I have to admit, I was worried that this cake might be dense, but after making it and following everything to the ‘T’, this cake was absolutely scrumptious! It was light, fluffy and everything you’d want!
    I made it for my family and after persistent demand had to make it again the next week.
    Stay Safe guys!

    I did this recipe yesterday 🤩🤩🤩 it was perfect! Apart from the icing it was good but few minutes after started decorate the cake, the icing was melting, maybe put in the fridge for few minutes before decorating would be easier, after I left the cake in the fridge it was perfect ! My friends loved! And I was so proud of myself, it was my first time baking and decorating a cake. It did take 3h, but in the end worth it!

    My house smells SOOOO good right now. I actually asked to make my own bday cake this year because I've had so much success with your recipes for family members and I've always wanted to make red velvet. I'm so excited about this. I did split the batter in half and do red and purple for the color, but other than that, no changes. So happy with this!

I'm 60 now an my Aunt is long gone, but I remember enjoying that cake like it was yesterday....edited to mention, she used boiled icing to top it off

    Thanks sooooo much Jemma! My experience with baking red velvet has always been that it tastes great but it's... brown despite varying amounts of liquid food colouring (last time it was a whole bottle and bitter). It is now RED because I used the extra red paste instead. It just came out of the oven but I'm sure it tastes great too haha.

      @@pradnyaw9716 sorry late reply since my notifications were not working, the icing did not melt because I kept it in the fridge when my cake was still baking, I made sure my butter were cold and not soft since my kitchen is very hot/humid. If your icing is melting on the cake/in the mixing bowl then I advise you to put the whole thing in your fridge until it’s cold enough to continue your icing. I hope this helps!

    Hi Jemma. Love your videos and working my way through watching every one. Can you answer this question? Some other bakers on UA-cam douse their cakes in sugar syrup, but you don’t? What’s the advantages and disadvantages of using the sugar syrup? Are their particular cakes it should be used on, and some cakes it definitely shouldn’t? I never know whether I should use it or not, and the fear of ruining a cake, either way, is putting me off baking big fancy cakes xx love from up North xx
