Pink velvet cake is a type of cake that is similar to red velvet cake but without cocoa powder. It has a velvety texture and a subtle tang that comes from the buttermilk and vinegar used in the recipe. The pink color comes from a small amount of pink food coloring, although natural colorings like strawberry or raspberry emulsion can also be used. Pink velvet cake is typically frosted with cream cheese frosting, although stabilized whipped cream and fresh raspberries can also be used. The cake is perfect for special occasions like Valentines Day, baby showers, or birthdays, and can be decorated as elaborately or as simply as desired.
