I came from your TH-cam short video. I’m in love with the concept and your refusal of using food colouring. I’ve always avoided this cake because of the amount of artificial colour that’s usually in it. But this is a great solution and a delicious variation. Thanks for the recipe and for being creative and finding alternatives! 😮
I'm so glad you liked the idea ) Since I make cakes myself and have the option to choose, I opt to prepare them with the most natural ingredients possible, to the best of my ability.
the original one also had beet in it that made it red too... a friend had a recipe from the 1900 that even had you adding grated beets and beet juice into it.
As a mom of a child with histamine reactive red dye allergy, this also includes mild reactions to things considered natural dye like beet powder, annatto, But not the rice powder
Just wondering how you came to the conclusion? My LO reacts to certain strawberry flavoured products but not all and we've been wondering if it was the colour! Not officially diagnosed though
@MC-xl5mm trial and error with food journals. When there is a questionable food, you do a controlled day where they don't eat anything that has the potential to trigger the allergy (journal everything consumed every day including times ) each consecutive day or every other add a questionable food and monitor closely for reaction (journal any reaction but also no reaction) I know so many parents who have gotten bad results from the allergy testing, I've been parenting daily for a long time 27 years and 14+ to go, so you just naturally learn little hacks as the time passes. :) Goodluck
(TLDR for everyone that doesn’t want to watch the full video- They use red koji aka red yeast rice powder. They also recommended getting getting the lightest coco powder you can get so you can still have some of the reaction with the buttermilk)
Randomly came across your channel, and I’m thrilled to know you don’t use artificial ingredients! When I saw the photo of the cake I thought “surely there is food die” but you guys did the research and work to be creative! I love the variation. Would love a detailed recipe so I could try to make it. Thanks for sharing!! Can’t wait to watch more! ❤
I had some red velvet cake recently and literally pooped red for an entire day. I thought I was dying lol. So I am very thankful for this recipe which I now must try
I'm Japanese. I guess the "red rice powder" or "Koji" 1:10 means "red yeast rice", but it has possibility to get toxic mold like citrinin. It requires very careful storage conditions.
Fun fact: fermented red rice is the original way to color roasted chinese pork (char siu). These days it almost exclusively done with red food coloring though similar to the red velvet.
Red food coloring gives me anxiety attacks when I eat too much of it, and has ever since I was a child. But I LOOOOOOOOOVE red velvet cake for its flavor and the cream cheese frosting that's usually on it. This looks like a great idea! I'm not much of a wine gal so I might make regular red velvet with this.
@@giomay11832 she literally says it in this video though, and the video is only 3.5min long. People really do have the attention span of houseflies these days 🤦♀️
That’s pretty mean to tell everyone. This woman is trying to make a living with longform videos and ads, and then people like you come along and give everyone else the secrets which just screws the creator out of her income.
The traditional flavor of creamchese frosting and just cake would be great. Not so sure about the fruit filling , but im sure it has to play well with the creamcheese somehow.
1:07 Until now I didn't know that such food existed and I love looking up natural colorings like butterfly pea tea and matcha and such but no bright red. ❤Tysm for making this.
I've been on the search for a red dye food replacement since red velvet is one of my absolutely favorite cakes! The unique taste and cream cheese frosting are wonderful on their own, but the red color just adds to the experience. Im so happy to have finally found a replacement that I will 100% be trying. Thank you so so much! ☺️🙏
I'm in AWE over your mission to not use artificial ingredients! Its so hard to find consistent recipes that keep our health in mind. Thank you, and I subbed :)
IKR?? At first I thought you got the CAKE for $16, but then I realized, that was just the cost of the recipe! LOL😂🤣 (Now that's what I call "MARKUP on INGREDIENTS"!) LOL
Thank you!!!!! I've been wanting to figure out a red velvet without red dye40 for ages! I hadn't come across the red rice powder before!!! So excited to try this new ingredient!!!
I love brains and baking mixed together. I've tried different natural food colorings to make red velvet and they just don't cut it. They're not strong enough to pull through with the color. So, I'm grateful and excited to learn of this fermented red rice powder, which I think also levels up the nutrients of the chocolate cake, so what's not to love about that! Thank you so much for sharing!
I've used beetroot powder for strawberry cupcakes i've made and it worked. i'll come back and share when i try to make some red velvet ones as a celebratory treat when i graduate soon. I'm vegan and gluten-free, so it'll also be.
About 11 years ago, I made a vegan and gluten free red velvet cake for a friend’s birthday that used fresh beets as the colorant and main mass of the cake. It amazingly didn’t taste like beets, but the beets made it incredibly moist and velvety. I sadly did not bookmark the recipe (much to my chagrin, as there have been several times I’ve wanted to make it since then, and none of the recipes I’ve found look like the one I used before, which didn’t have any flour replacement besides the beets themselves), but you should definitely look for something that uses fresh beets if you’re trying to make the cake without spending a lot of money on a natural red dye. Plus, as I said before, the beets make the cake so moist and velvety! Congrats on graduating!
There’s a lot of work that goes into recipe development; testing, ingredients, TIME, technique, experience, etc. Many bakers charge for single recipes-even cutout cookie recipes. She did give a lot more information and insight into her recipe, perhaps try for yourself and see how you do. I was disappointed that the recipe wasn’t in the video but the texture looks amazing & a good base recipe is worth it. I simply mean this isn’t an uncommon thing for some bakers to do. I’ve seen people charge much more
The cake is beautiful! if you wanted a more vibrant red you could have used beet juice, it works wonders and still natural. Raiza from Dulce Delight Brazil did a recipe using only natural ingredients as well using beet, and the red was as vibrant as food coloring.
I found out that a lot of red food colouring is made out of carmine and when I found out that was crushed up bugs and it’s in the Betty Crocker red velvet cake, I knew I needed to take that out forever and look for alternatives so thank you
Brilliant! I’ve never been inclined to try to either eat or make red velvet cake because half chocolate just sounds like a weak flavor to me. So I understood it to be a vanilla cake with a little chocolate in it. I am so excited to try this recipe, and I also believe in going all natural. The red food die thing also discouraged me from ever making it, so thank you!
Wow, i really cannot stand all the storebought products with food coloring and nasty stuff, considering all the dangers to it. I'm so happy to see what your doing! Its very rare. Thank you for being a blessing. Wish i was in your area to support you!
@@baubles5678 You can look it up artificial food colorings are shown to cause health issues and cause attention problems. (Brain issues) Makes sense why so many issues r arising. They’re actually banned in some countries as well due to that.
U can also add a beet root, there was a hack with potatoes and sweet potatoes to make super rich, dense, and moist cakes. Same principles, it add moisture and richness, while giving a pretty red hue
I appreciate this history lesson. As a child in the 90s I can distinctly remember having homemade red velvet that was rich and more like a chocolate color. My sister wouldn’t even eat it because it looked much like chocolate to her and she didn’t like chocolate. Excited to try this version because I haven’t touched a box red velvet cake because it just doesn’t look the same I didn’t trust it
Thank you! Food dyes, particularly red, tend to hurt so bad. I’ve had to avoid foods I enjoyed when I was younger because it just gets worse as I age. This looks delicious, and I can’t wait to give it a try =)
Thank you for this! Our family avoids artifical dyes vecause of how they effect the children. My 4 y/o wanted a chiefs cake for her birthday. I wish i had seen this sooner!
After seeing this i like your recipe more than the preppy kitchen one not only because of the no food colouring but because it just looks nicer, i love baking it’s fun but I’ve become a pie guy lately its fun to make pies
I worked at the whole foods bakery and all our colorings were natural. The red color was made with beets, but to get a vibrant red it did get a bit of a beet flavoring. Red dye usually is technically a natural coloring, made from Cochineal bugs. I get a lot of people wouldnt want a ton of bug juice in their cake tho XD I am curious how the red rice tastes, since both beet and bug dye doesnt taste great, but rice sounds like a nice neutral flavor.
These comments talking about saving people from having to watch a video to get the ingredient used for red dye are so ridiculous, she tells you at 1:00 ... Literally 1min into a 3.5min video. Like, come on... Tiktok really has rotted people's attention span to nothing now. 🤦♀️
E120 is a red color in alot of food products... its natural just use that, unless youre extremist vegetarian in which case i think beetroot powder is a more obvious choice than red yeast rice powder...
Yea I understand that food dye isn’t great but the word healthy and cake shouldn’t go together I’m eating cake as a treat. It something you can go yay I’m happy and don’t care what I’m ingesting right now as I’m really happy
@@Olivia-ug7sc LOL Right? (And would you really trust some "fermented red rice" coming from probably China - how do you think they make that?? LOL) I'll just do without! 😂
Here from shorts! I’m not looking to make red velvet as I’m not a cake person by any means(love to bake though) but I’m a sucker for cooking videos as is 😅
I've just read that the production quality of rice yeast is not controlled by FDA and there isn't sufficient historical data to deem this yeast safe for long term consumption. I've read that the main substance acts like a statin, lowering cholesterol by inhibiting the enzyme producing LDL cholesterol, but may also have an impact on kidney, liver and muscle function. It is not recommended for pregnant women and can reduce the efficacy of other OTC supplement. I am not a doctor, so please check with your doctor whether it is safe for you to consume this rice yeast.
Happy to have come across your channel I am all for natural ingredients. Thank you for sharing. I must also say I was already going to subscribe and then to hear we have the same name? Oh yes I must subscribe lol.
Previously, I bought good quality koji rice powder for a very good price on AliExpress, but now it's gone. I guess they prohibited the sale of food products. Now I'm exploring a new source of koji )
My local grocery store suddenly didn't have any red velvet cake mix and I couldn't figure out why... Maybe they took away the dangerous ones with harmful dyes... There was one brand recently and I have to wonder if it just uses a safer/natural dye. I have no idea what ingredient to look for though (I mean: I don't know the difference between the dyes) but I love red velvet and grabbed a box.
1:08 Do you mean red YEAST rice powder? Because when you look up “koji” only yellow stuff comes up and the “fermented red rice powder” doesn’t exist without the yeast label…please clarify.
Do you ever: use pomegranate juice? Or, make this as a gluten free/dairy free option? I will probably have to experiment myself with a reliable chocolate cake recipe I have, but any experience you can share is appreciated.

@hlaweardlaighonaghidau6543 he might outgrow it.
This is great to know! I didn't even think about food dyes being irritants!
Just wondering how you came to the conclusion?

@MC-xl5mm trial and error with food journals.

(TLDR for everyone that doesn’t want to watch the full video-
They use red koji aka
red yeast rice powder.
They also recommended getting getting the lightest coco powder you can get so you can still have some of the reaction with the buttermilk)
The video is less than 4 minutes.
It’s not even four minutes long, FFS. 🙄 I highly recommend that everybody watches it because the baker explains the science behind the cake.
also, the recipe from the web site costs $20
oh that's the ingredient that makes chinese char siu red
God these adults that use emojis un-ironically, you guys are something interesting 💀💀💀
I'm really tempted to try using powdered freeze dried strawberries or raspberries as the colourant, especially as spring approaches.
You could try adding some black currant (cassis) or beetroot powder, most berries aren't strong colourants
I've used fresh strawberries to color frosting pink before. It tasted delicious.
I think it would turn brown when baked

You can use a mix of white chocolate and alkalised cocoa powder with beetroot in the batter.

Thank you for making red velvet free of harmful additives!!!
Omg I am so glad this popped up on my feed. Red velvet is my favorite but I have never made it due to it having food coloring. Can’t wait to try.

Beet juice works great too!
Can you use the traditional ingredients how they used to do to turn it red naturally or is that not possible?
Thank you for sharing. Cake looks delicious my mouth is watering 😊
Would beetroot work for this?
I love red velvet cake and now I can make it for my son without the red dye 40
I love baking all natural cakes , I always wondered if the beet gives a muddy earthly taste to the cake ??
Does the rice powder affect the taste? Especially with only 1/3 of the usual cocoa?
Most red velvet cakes only call for a few tablespoons of cocoa anyway
I wondered about that, too.
Yea I understand that food dye isn’t great but the word healthy and cake shouldn’t go together
