All you have to do is add red food coloring to any light-colored cake mix/recipe.
Like slip a few drops in a strawberry mix and you get a wonderful color.
I like the sound of that though I wouldn't use mix, they tend to have dairy in them. Hubby wants add pomegranate cranberry juice to a cake recipe but I don't know how that would turn out. Though I prefer I more natural option that just dye
Well in a recipe you can just change the liquids out.
Ingredients
2 cups white sugar
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored gelatin
1 cup butter, softened
4 eggs (room temperature)
2 3/4 cups sifted cake flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup strawberry puree made from frozen sweetened strawberries
Directions
1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans.
2.In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and dry strawberry gelatin until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter alternately with the milk. Blend in vanilla and strawberry puree. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
3.Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a small knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in their pans over a wire rack for at least 10 minutes, before tapping out to cool completely
Like this one, where it says milk, just put the juice instead, but if you pommegranate or cranberry the cake will turn a darker shade of pink instead of red.
