For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. Be careful not to overbake the cake, as it can become dry. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Feel free to experiment with different food coloring types (gel, liquid, etc.) to achieve your desired shade of red. If you want to make cupcakes, reduce baking time accordingly. Consider using a cream cheese frosting for a classic red velvet pairing.
