A friend just discovered red velvet cake at a local restaurant. She had asked
how they make it red and I was surprised to learn they use beet juice. I've
been dumping bottles of red food coloring in my cake batter, as my mom did, and
as all the recipes I've seen do. Wondering if anyone has a recipe for that, or
if it would be exactly the same -- just use the same amount of beet juice as
food coloring. Must be a little healthier than dye. Anybody else do it "the
beet way?"
