Can paste food coloring be substituted for liquid food color in baking?
Yes, you can. Just remember that food coloring paste is a lot thicker than liquid food color so you use a lot less. Start with just a tiny bit on the end of a spoon and add more in tiny amounts as necessary. Usually 1/2 teaspoon of gel paste is equal to about 1.5 oz of liquid food (to put it into perspective - a shot and a half of liquid) colouring

Red velvet cake is a semi-chocolate cake that has had enough red food coloring added to it to make it look red. If you don't wish to add the food coloring, it would simply be a cake with a slight chocolate flavor and a cream cheese icing.

Do you use as much paste coloring as liquid food coloring in a cake recipe that calls for 2oz of red food coloring in a red velvet cake recipe?
No, not at all. The paste coloring has a much more intense coloring effect, so I would recommend using about a half teaspoon, then check the color to see if you need to add a bit more. But you will need to increase your liquid to compensate for the loss of 2 fluid ounces, which can be done by increasing the oil and/or buttermilk by 2 ounces.
