Just look at that pretty chocolate! I can seriously taste it right now. And I guess it should technically be 4 ingredients because I added chocolate chips, but they are totally optional. I just don’t think we can be friends anymore if you don’t add them. Kidding. Kind of.

Is Red Velvet Just Chocolate Cake?

Red Velvet cake is not just chocolate cake with red dye.

Red velvet is made with cocoa powder, vinegar and buttermilk.

The chemical reaction between these ingredients help give the cake a deep maroon color.

Food coloring is often added to enhance the red color.

Can You Use Fresh Pumpkin Instead of Canned Pumpkin?

Canned pumpkin is just cooked, pureed pumpkin.

You can cook and puree fresh pumpkin instead of using canned pumpkin.

A 16 ounce can of pumpkin equals 2 cups of pureed pumpkin.
