red-velvet cake
Scarlet layered dessert
Red-velvet cake is a layered cake with a distinctive reddish-brown color, traditionally made with cocoa, buttermilk, and vinegar, topped with cream cheese frosting.
The color originally came from a chemical reaction between cocoa and acidic ingredients, though modern versions often use food coloring.
It's a Southern American classic, popular at celebrations: She made a red-velvet cake for his birthday.
