I understand what you mean about the red food coloring, when I saw the amount the recipe asked for I got a little scared that I would grow a second head or something. But like you said, people like their red velvet cake red, so I used beet juice from a can of sliced beets and did put a couple of drops of food coloring inside to make it more red.

Maybe someone will develop a better recipe now that we know beets can be used instead of red food coloring. I hope so–it would be great to find a healthy red velvet cake.

This cake did not rise at all. It is not red either. I made the Tyler Florence Red Velvet Beet Cake, and it was a disaster. This cake did not rise at all. It is not red either.
