Red Velvet Is What Flavor

Red velvet has a mild chocolate flavor, thanks to the small amount of cocoa powder used in the recipe.

It also has a slight tang from the buttermilk and vinegar, which balance the sweetness and give the cake its signature velvety texture.

The combination of cocoa, tangy buttermilk and rich cream cheese frosting creates the unique flavor associated with red velvet.
