What is Red Velvet?
Red velvet is a type of red, red-brown, or crimson-colored layered chocolate cake. Traditional red velvet recipes actually do not use food coloring. Instead, the red color is the result of anthocyanin-rich cocoa chemically reacting to the acidity from other ingredients. These ingredients include buttermilk, butter, vinegar, and flour. Food coloring is only used to enhance the color of the cake.
