I have been hearing about it so much from Oprah and other US TV shows, especially on the Food Network. When I had the chance to taste a Red Velvet Cake, I grabbed a slice and nom nomed it to my heart’s delight. And it didn’t disappoint. It had a peculiar pleasant taste, a smooth texture, and a yummy, sweet frosting.
According to the Joy of Baking, Red Velvet Cake is actually a Devil’s Food Cake with red food coloring (source link) but it was originally made with beets which cause the red color. The taste comes from a hint of cocoa powder added into the dough. And the texture? It comes from buttermilk.
