I drew this cupcake a long time ago, I was originally going to do a voice over about how much I hate red velvet cake but then I just couldn't be bothered.
Red velvet cake is just chocolate cake with red food colouring in it. And is usually accompanied with cream cheese icing (frosting, if you're American...). Originally it actually used to go red without the food colouring though, and that's why it became a thing. Cocoa power used to not be as refined as it is now, and when combined with the vinegar and bicarb soda (the leavening agents in the red velvet cake) it would go red due to the change in pH. Nowadays, the cocoa doesn't have the same reaction as it used to and the vinegar and bicarb soda are often not used, so people put red food colouring in instead. I just cannot understand why people can't just eat chocolate cake!
Anyway. I'm not the biggest fan of red velvet cake. In case you haven't realised.
I was meant to upload this before Christmas because this Chobani Flip was limited edition Pavlova flavour for Christmas in Australia. I thought it was the perfect summer flavour for Australia and I'm actually really sad that it was limited because I think it's one of the best Chobani Flip flavours! Did you guys get a chance to try it? What do you think? What's your favourite yogurt flavour?
