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 (:

∙ 8y agoYes, a traditional Red Velvet cake has cocoa powder in it, but not enough to give it a strong chocolate flavor. It has 2 to 3 tablespoons of cocoa (depending on the recipe), which is just enough cocoa to give it a delicious, distinct flavor and to give it the unique color it has in combination with the red food coloring.

∙ 8y agoWhile Red Velvet cake does have some cocoa powder (2 to 3 tablespoons), it doesn't have enough cocoa powder to be a true chocolate cake. It's the combination of the cocoa, buttermilk and red food coloring that gives it the wonderful and distinct flavor, texture and color it has.
