I need to know what flavour is used in making of a red velvet cake. How it tastes like? What is the main ingredients used in a red velvet cake recipe?

Red velvet cake is an American classic cake that is typically made with a cocoa-based cake, buttercream frosting, and red food coloring. It has a soft, moist texture and a subtle chocolate flavor that is balanced out by the sweetness of the frosting. The most common ingredients used in a red velvet cake recipe are all-purpose flour, sugar, butter, eggs, cocoa powder, baking soda, and buttermilk. The food coloring is usually added to give the cake its signature red hue. The flavor is usually described as a subtle chocolate, sweet, and slightly tangy combination.

Red velvet is chocolate flavor with red food coloring.
Unlike other flavor cakes red velvet is only made with red colouration together with chocolate essence instead of adding any seperate flavors in it.

Red velvet cake mostly found in supermarkets,snack shops amoung others. It has a little bit of both sower and chocolate taste. It's very sweet and one of the best cakes I would recommend anyone to try it. Though I haven't seen it being prepared but it is obviously that the ingredients of any cake we can't miss; flour, eggs,butter sugar and in this case chocolate is a must.

Red velvet taste like red velvet cake. Sour and sweet. The main ingredient that gives it that distinct taste is cocoa and red food coloring. Here's a list of ingredients you can use.
2 cups flour
250grams butter

1 cup sugar
4 tbsp cocoa powder
4 tsp salt
1  tbsp baking powder
1  tsp baking soda
1cup butter milk
5 eggs
Red food coloring.
This recipe gives you a very light, fluffy and tasty red velvet cake. You can add preservatives if you want it to last longer. Remember to sift all of your dry ingredients. This increases aeration and makes your mixture lighter and more fluffy than when you do not sift at all.
The amount of red coloring you'll add depends on whether you want a darker cake or a lighter one. I personally prefer it a little darker.

Red velvet cake has its own flavor different from vanilla or chocolate. The flavor is sweet yet a bit tangy the acidic taste that comes from the use of buttermilk and vinegar as well as the cream cheese in the frosting.

Red velvet cake has a distinctive, soft, moist texture and a light chocolate flavor with a hint of cocoa powder. The main ingredients commonly used in red velvet cake recipes are all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsalted butter, eggs, buttermilk, food coloring (usually red), white vinegar and baking powder. Some recipes also call for a small amount of cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate flavor. The cake is usually finished with a cream cheese frosting, which balances the cake's slight acidity and adds a rich, tangy flavor.

Red velvet cake has a mild chocolate flavor with a hint of tanginess from the buttermilk and a subtle vanilla undertone. It's moist, tender, and usually topped with cream cheese frosting.

It tastes like very mild cocoa with a slightly tart edge. The cream cheese frosting is the most forward flavor. Perhaps even more important than the taste is the texture: smooth, soft, tender and light with creamy icing.

Red velvet cake has a unique flavor that is a combination of vanilla, cocoa, and buttermilk. The cake has a slightly tangy and mildly chocolatey taste, and is usually paired with a cream cheese frosting, which adds a slightly tart and sweet flavor to the overall taste. The red color of the cake is achieved through the use of red food coloring.
