When I say Natural Red Velvet Cake, you must be thinking what really do I mean by that? Well, these heart shape Red Velvet Cupcakes are made with natural Color of Beet Root. Now, you will ask again a Beet vegetable? Yes, Don’t be scared but once the cake is baked, no one will be able to know that it is baked with beet. In fact, when you make cakes without eggs, fruit and vegetable puree helps to make cake moist. What could be better than these hearts for healthy hearts!
This recipe is perfect for Christmas or Valentine Red Velvet Cake. I usually do not like to use dark food colors specially red, green, blue and more, so I always look for ways to get color with natural colorful fruit or veggies.
