Fellow Bakers:

I am seeking clarification on how to use Red Velvet Emulsion.  I have searched the forums as well as LorAnn's website and still cannot seem to get a straight answer on the use of the product.  I am hoping someone with experience can assist.

I am making a red velvet cake from scratch that calls for 2 tsp. of vanilla and 4 tsp. of red food coloring.  The LorAnn website indicates a straight substitute of emulsion to extract (1 teaspoon emulsion = 1 teaspoon extract) but does not indicate how to account for the color of the cake.  I know the emulsion has color in it as well and is stronger than extract.

I am concerned about the amount of liquid mostly, not necessarily the color.

Any advice would be appreciated!

I use LorAnn emulsions all the time and I use them at approximately the same portion as extracts.  If a recipe calls for a teaspoon of extract, I use a teaspoon of emulsion,  I do enjoy my flavors and am pretty heavy handed with them.

I am heavy handed with this emulsion. I chuck it in until I'm happy with the colour and taste. Rarely do I ever stick to the recipe amounts with things like this emulsion, vanilla, cinnamon etc...  

Hope that helps!
