Description
Bella Dolce's red velvet cake-really good as a cupcake, fantastic if you can commit to a 6-inch ($25) or a 9-inch ($35) cake-is one of the best, with a moist crumb, a cream-cheese frosting that's not overpoweringly cheesy, a hint of Dutch-process cocoa, and a color most likely a combination of FD&C 40 and FD&C 3. There's no fooling yourself that it comes from beet juice or berry puree. No, Bella Dolce's red velvet is artificially, chemically, gloriously red. No one's died yet, so we keep coming back for more.
