Did you not read the goddamn recipe from where you got that picture?

I've never had good red velvet pancakes.

Ive never had them at all,how do they taste?

red velvet cake is just fucking chocolate flavored cake with a shit ton of red food coloring and cream cheese frosting.

don't forget the spices

without that, it's just red chocolate cake

shit needs a lot of paprika, and a decent amount of chili power

also a pinch of cayenne

OP, this is the only redeeming value of red velvet cake.

Its really just cocoa, a buttermilk and soda leavened cake (which most good cakes used to be before we got cheap with mixes). So there is a cocoa flavor, and a tang. The original red used to be from being sweetened with beet juice (a way to get sugar during rationing war times). The cake was pretty much a workaround during times you had to improvise. There is another chocolate cake from the same era that is made with mayonnaise, a way to do without eggs and butter.
I really think this is the most over rated meme cupcake and how it fits into breakfast mood is stupid. Make it on a national holiday like 4th of july, or christmas, like LOL it is red! And, you'd obviously not be using a mix, but a buttermilk recipe or they would be even more gross.
