What is Red Velvet?

Red velvet is a type of cake or baked good that is typically characterized by its distinctive bright red or burgundy color, as well as its rich, chocolatey flavor.

The exact origin of red velvet is unclear, but it is believed to have originated in the United States in the early 20th century.

Red velvet cake is often made using a combination of flour, sugar, cocoa powder, buttermilk, and a small amount of red food coloring.
