Question 1

ARE RED VELVET CUPCAKES JUST CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES?

Accepted Answer

Don't let the addition of cocoa powder fool you. These are not chocolate cupcakes. The cocoa powder adds to the deep red color of of the cake, but there is not enough of it to produce a chocolate flavor.

Question 2

WHAT IS THE FLAVOR OF RED VELVET CUPCAKES?

Accepted Answer

Red velvet cake is in a class all its own when it comes to flavor. It's a very mild cocoa taste, almost an essence of cocoa, with a slight tang and tartness. What I love about red velvet cupcakes is that they're not overly sweet, so pair with the creamy cream cheese frosting beautifully, which is sweet and also tangy. There is truly no flavor like it!
