The red velvet cake evokes delicious memories whenever
mentioned. The mild flavor, tangy twist, rich, smooth texture, and gorgeous
color makes us drool at the very thought. Thought to have originated in the
suburbs of colonial America, the name is a play on the prevalent cakes of that
time. The Victorian era was populated by dry, moisture less cakes which broke
into crumbs whenever touched. Not that people hated the dry cakes, but the idea
of a smoother version just caused mass excitement. Eventually, the popularity
of the dish grew beyond the borders of time and place. Today, it is one of the
most famous cakes in the world and for all the right reasons. Who can resist
the temptation of gorging on a tantalizing red velvet. If you are already

points below.
THE RED COLOR
Just like gold today is associated with royalty, red
in earlier times was a symbol of royal power. Red cloaks, crowns, and clothes
made up much of the attire of British kings and queens. The deep red tint of
the red velvet cake invokes similar thoughts. Not limited to hierarchical
circles anymore, the red velvet has enabled many people to enjoy a piece of
royalty. The cake also adds beauty to the dish. It’s a treat for the eyes as
well as the tongues.
MILD CHOCOLATE FLAVOR
Who doesn’t love chocolate? In fact there used to be
times when chocolate haters were viewed with scrutiny. But if the extra sugar
in chocolate puts you off, the mild flavor of the red velvet will suit you
best. The perfect flavor is achieved by mixing buttermilk and barely 2 spoons
of cocoa powder. Surely, not too much, not too less.
TANGY TWIST
A single bite of a red velvet cake can lead to a burst
of flavors inside our mouths. The tangy part complements the mild chocolate
flavor perfectly. But what makes it tangy? It is the slow reaction between
buttermilk and vinegar that imparts this unique touch to the cake.
CHEESE CREAM FROSTING
This is the icing on the cake. Quite literally as well
as figuratively. As if the mild chocolate and tangy flavors weren’t enough. The
cake is covered in a thick layer of cream cheese frosting, an ode to the best
cake in the world. No mortal has ever been to heaven but a bite from this cake
indeed tastes like heaven.
SUPER MOIST RECIPE
The red velvet owes its delicious texture to the godly
ingredients that go in making it. Buttermilk, cocoa, vinegar lend an oily base
to it which is what makes it so smooth. The fluffiness of the cake is a direct
result of the internal reactions within the various ingredients.
EASY TO BAKE
The cake doesn’t need an expert to bake. Heavenly
perfection can be achieved by a simple mix of all the ingredients. Prepare the
batter, line the kitchen ware, and get set go to baking!
