Classic Red velvet cake
Indulge in the Richness
Red Velvet Cake is traditionally a red, crimson, or scarlet-colored layer cake, layered with ermine icing.
Velvet cake, a delight for the senses. Moist, fluffy, and utterly decadent.
Traditional recipes do not use food coloring, with the red color possibly due to non-Dutched, anthocyanin-rich cocoa, and possibly due to the usage of brown sugar, formerly called red sugar.
Common ingredients include buttermilk, butter, cocoa, vinegar, and flour. Beet juice or red food coloring may be used for the color.
