Tell me you’ve never had an old fashioned red velvet cake without saying that you’ve never had an old fashioned red velvet cake. The original recipes have very little cocoa powder in them, and taste mostly of vanilla and buttermilk, with a slight chocolate undertone.
Yeah I’m with the other guys, having made both versions, these are not the same cake. It’s a pretty common myth though, like, frighteningly common. Did someone tell you growing up that they were the same? My mother did, but my mother was a bad cook
Red velvet cake is essentially chocolate cake dyed red.
Real red velvet doesn’t use food dye. It’s just cheaper to make imitation red velvet
Still basically chocolate cake though.

My old ass recipe has heaps of cocoa but the red comes from beet juice.
Always kills.

Homeopathic chocolate maybe, the recipe was developed specifically to use less chocolate
