What is a red velvet cake?
It is a pastry that has a rich red color due to the food coloring added. The basic recipe calls for vinegar and buttermilk which sets it apart from most desserts.
It is buttery and has a hint of chocolate taste in it with the use of a bit of cocoa. Typically, it goes well with cream cheese frosting.
