red velvet
Scarlet layered dessert
Red velvet is a cake or dessert distinguished by its deep reddish color and mild chocolate flavor, typically layered with cream cheese frosting.
The color originally came from a reaction between cocoa and acidic ingredients, though modern recipes often use food coloring: She ordered a slice of red velvet cake.
The term extends to other desserts with similar flavor and appearance: red velvet cupcakes, red velvet cookies.
