Is it possible to bake this without any food coloring? Meaning, not red at all, no beets or anything like that? Will it just turn out slightly chocolatey, or rather, brown? Are there any other nuances?
Может, кто-то знает, что в итоге получится? Мужу 63, жене 57. Сейчас они в одном регионе, жена давно…

Well, if the dough has cocoa, then yes, it's brown.
Otherwise, the cakes are white)))

Well, it turns out to be a dirty brown. It's hard to even say it's brown, there's not that much cocoa in it. It's gray

Tanya Chamkaeva If it's good alkalized cocoa and not some generic brand, it will turn a normal brown chocolate color

Why bother with all that if you can just add a good food coloring? Two drops will be enough for a whole cake. Without coloring, it's just a pale chocolate cake.

Tanya Chamkaeva I only buy alkalized cocoa for red velvet. But I only use 8g of cocoa for one batch. And it's not very chocolatey.

Yes, I baked them. They turned out chocolate-colored, and tasted the same.

Red velvet doesn't have to be red. It can be brick brown.
