Is red velvet cake actually chocolate cake?
No. I've made a red velvet cake and it has a much different taste and texture than an ordinary cake. It's more like a complementary cake because if you were just to eat the icing, it would taste gritty, if you just eat the cake you really get no flavor but when you eat them together you'd never believe how well they actually go together. Red velvet cake is more moist and rich. If you were to sample red velvet cake and regular cake you would definitely taste a difference. If you ever get the chance I highly recommend you try it (:
