Mahalo Amy...I did want to ask your opinion about using Dutch Cocoa in this recipe. The recipe calls for Unsweetened Cocoa...I understand that Dutched Process Cocoa will not make the cupcakes red? More like a brownish red? Is this because the Dutch Process Cocoa won't react with the baking soda? I love Valrhona Cocoa and would like to use it in this recipe...Thanks for any help...aloha...

Natural cocoa powder interacts with the acidity of baking soda and creates a reddish color. But Red Velvet Cake relies on food coloring for the red. David Lebovitz has a good description of the differences between natural and dutch-process cocoa powder on his website.Amy

I do wonder though, if a really dark Dutched cocoa would turn out more of a deep reddish brown or even black? If you try it Lu, don't forget to report back. Enquiring minds want to know.

I've made things side-by-side with natural and dutched cocoa, and the natural (assuming the addition of baking soda) always came out more red.
I hear what you're saying JB, but that's been my experience.

Lu, great cupcakes and great photos as always. Seeing those reminds me about the yummy peanut butter cupcakes I made a week ago. Attachment: cupcake.jpg You can find the recipe on my blog: A Yankee Bakes the South
