Red Velvet Cake

Red Velvet Cake

EverydaySweetened

Red velvet cake is a layered dessert characterized by its vibrant red hue and subtle cocoa flavor, traditionally paired with cream cheese frosting. Originating in the Southern United States, its signature texture combines buttermilk and vinegar to create a moist, fine crumb while balancing sweetness with a slight tang. Though visually striking, most versions derive their color from food coloring and contain significant refined carbohydrates and added sugars, making portion awareness crucial for nutritional tracking.
