People prefer red velvet cake over any other cake because it is made of
Mild chocolate. A study showed that when the cocoa powder and buttermilk
are put together, they result in the red color of this cake powder.
Red velvet cake is a vanilla cake with a few tablespoons of cocoa powder and red food coloring mixed in. Vinegar and buttermilk bring some acid to the batter, adding a bit of tanginess that balances out the sweet cream cheese-butter frosting that is standard. The crumb of the cake is very fine, soft and smooth.
