Our red velvet cake is tender and delicious and has that beloved red velvet look, and yet, we have figured out how to use less food coloring. The icing is the classic cooked vanilla icing. That’s right! The original did not feature cream cheese frosting (although we have that recipe, too if you like). Get the recipe.
