I always thought “red velvet” was supposed to have a particular flavor, but it turns out the red in red velvet was actually coming from the color of cacao back in the days (less processed, raw-er(?)). The cream cheese sauce I made by mixing cream cheese with condensed milk (I know, a cheat, but one that made sense), and the strawberry comes from some preserves. Used some natural red coloring (from vegetables, boy, is it expensive!), which only made the pancakes pink, but with some cocoa powder, the velvet hues finally came out.

Of course the pancakes do become brown at the edges, but there is still a lot of luscious red to go around elsewhere.
