What Is Red Velvet Cake?
Is red velvet cake just a chocolate cake? Although the cocoa powder is one of the main ingredients of red velvet cake, this cake is very different from chocolate cake. Many believe that the original red velvet cake was a type of chocolate cake that was prepared with a combination of butter, buttermilk, baking soda, cocoa powder, and flour.
The soft and velvety texture of this cake was the result of chemical interactions of cocoa powder and baking soda with vinegar or buttermilk, and the red color of the cake was classically created from the combination of acids and bases and chemical changes of natural cocoa powder pigments. Later and with the increase of red velvets popularity, edible red color was added to the recipes to make the cake more bright and red.
