It is difficult to determine the origin of the now overwhelmingly popular Red Velvet Cake. Some believe it came from the South, others claim that it is of British descent and that it was baked in the pre-revolutionary war colonies. In spite of the dilemma of its origin, we do know that it is a close cousin to the sinfully good “Devils Food” cake. However, it is made with buttermilk (in place of sweet milk), a little less cocoa, and red food color. The buttermilk gives it its rich creamy texture with a delicious tangy, yet buttery taste, all while making the cake exceptionally moist. The rich velvety texture of this cake is loved by all.
Once the cake layers have been baked and cooled, they are then finished by icing them with a rich cream cheese icing and can be garnished with soft fluffy flaked coconut. Some also say that it should be decorated with a single red rose depicting pure love.
