You can try using carob - a cocoa substitude. For each 1/4 cup of unsweetened (baking) cocoa called for in a recipe, use 1 ounce unsweetened carob and decrease fat called for in recipe by 1 1/2 teaspoons.





Imo, just omitting the cocoa will have an effect on the final product. Plus, I'm sure it's just me, but Red Velvet Cake without the chocolate flavoring is just not Red Velvet Cake! But then again, I think that must be me! Lol
I think I saw what you're looking for in this free recipe ebook.
Look for substitutes for the cocoa.
I say if all else fails... use red food color in the batter and use enough to make it dark. I would do that myself.
Use white choclate and red dye thta's the proper combination, you can also use carob powder,and extra flavoring like almond extract
