You have????
I have tried lots of ways of trying to get red cakes with beet, and none of them has ever stayed red.
The dough has always this beautiful colour and then it becomes yellow after baked...
I have used it raw, boiled and dehydratated (powdered)
Do you have any recipe????

Thanks

hey !

I don't know if you found the recipe of red velvet yet, but this link may help you. I tried it and it was delicious cake and reeed velvet but I used powder food color.
