Red velvet is a popular cake flavor, and the term is descriptive of the color - usually a dark red, bright red or red-brown - and velvety texture of the cake. It is usually prepared as a layer cake, topped with a creamy white icing. Common ingredients are buttermilk, butter, flour, cocoa, and red food coloring. Years ago, beetroot was used, although nowadays, most recipes traditionally call for an entire bottle of red food coloring to be added to the batter. Red velvet cake is traditionally a southern dessert (southeastern United States), although the cake is popular all over the country and in Canada.
