    Use beetroot purée or beetroot juice. Doesn’t alter the flavour but natural and healthy.
    Edit - a few below comments have said it does alter the flavour. I don’t notice it, but perhaps am just used to it. Either way, beetroot in cake does go well.
    Also, some have suggested beetroot powder too which I’ll give a try. Thank you!

    I once did a research essay on red velvet cake-all of this is really accurate!! But because this is knowledge I never get to use, I want to add a bit; The “velvet” descriptor comes from how cakes before the Victorian era were made with unrefined flour, and were therefore rough and lumpy. Most cakes made with the newer, more processed ingredients of the Victorian era were called velvet, and red velvet sticks because it is essentially an evolution of Red Devil’s food cake, a rougher, older cake, which was a variant on the traditional devil’s food cake in that it contained buttermilk and so was red. Red Devil’s food cake evolved into one of the newer, “velvet” cakes and eventually had its natural red hue strengthened with food coloring. The first recorded instance of red food coloring being added to one of these cakes is in 1960, as one Mrs. Cragle published in the Denton-Record Chronicle of Texas. This recipe spread all over the country in the summer of 1960, and remained as kind of an underground hit until steel magnolias and other events which heightened it’s popularity in the 80’s, and into the 2000s and present day.

      I remember in the 80s, when as a kid, visiting my mom and grandmother in Lubbock TX, going to.... Macy's I think. The upstairs dining room and having red velvet cake for the first time. I was told it was from the original recipe, but no idea if that's true. But it's why I still think of it as my favorite type of cake.

    My grandma was born in the late 1930s and this is her favorite cake. Her family was poor, and this cake is like a chocolate cake, but you can use less chocolate, so it was more affordable. She doesn't care about the red food coloring, which is classic for her generation. She is still alive and almost 90.

Some things we have a much larger range of tolerance for, and there are certain substances that can kill or do harm in relatively small doses, so research is necessary to determine safe limits, but it's hard to ethically research the safe limits and long term consequences of food and food additives and even scientists have been known to make mistakes or even lie sometimes which muddies the waters.

      See though there is an difference in taste and it makes me go crazy in how people saying that it tastes better because the red food coloring is making taste different. Like no they have different ingredients and it's not even the same cocoa used in red velvet and chocolate.

    Beets, or maybe pomegranate, those things make a red so vibrant it could blind a man, but beet can come powdered so it doesn't affect the liquid ratio, and the earthy flavor is surprisingly easy to cover up. Also, I remember hearing vinegar was used to bring out a more reddish color in velvet cake, though it has been a while.
