Making the Red Velvet Cake:

Add the red food coloring and beat until the batter is a deep red color.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
