Red Velvet Cake

The origin of Red Velvet Cake like it's recipe has many versions. According to historians, the Red Velvet Cake recipe was born in the 1800s. Later on, Waldorf-Astoria Hotel claimed that they invented the cake. The Adams Extract Company also attributed itself as the makers of the "original" red velvet cake. There were also stories that Red Velvet Cake was invented during the time when there was a shortage of cocoa powder so bakers started to get resourceful and added red food color to the small amounts of cocoa powder they had.
The red velvet cake actually started out as a mahogany-colored cake with the addition of brown sugar and the chemical reaction of the leavening agent to cocoa which made the cake reddish brown in color. It was in the 1900s with the Adams Extract Company's initiative that the red velvet got it's reddish color with the addition of red food color/extract.
The real red velvet should not be bright red. It should be a bit brownish because of cocoa powder and red food color. The more cocoa powder you add to the recipe, the more mahogany the color of the cake. Adding too much red color to the cake mixture will make the cake bitter. So, you should be able to strike a good balance of cocoa powder and red food color. I hope you will enjoy my version of the Red Velvet Cake. It is simple and straighforward.
