Please help - i made a red velvet cake, but the chocolate part of the cake ended up on the outside and the red on the inside - any ideas on why the cocoa seems to have separated from the mixture?

I know this has been posted about before - I *think* its about the mixing and vinegar not BEng throughout the cake????

maybe something wrong with the recipe, can you post it so we can see?

Darn, I had this same result and thought I was crazy for noticing! Anyone know why this happens??? I didn't use vinegar, it wasnt' called for in the recipe....

Did you mix the liquids together, then add to the dry ingredients?

What is the recipe and how did you prepare the batter. It is difficult to give advice with just 10% of the story.
