How Is Red Velvet Traditionally Made?
Red velvet cake is traditionally made by combining flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vinegar, and red food coloring. The ingredients are mixed together to create a batter that is then baked in layers. The cake is typically frosted with cream cheese frosting and finished with decorative red velvet cake crumbs. The result is a rich, moist cake with a distinct red color and a slightly tangy flavor.
