Red velvet cake gets its vibrant red colour from a chemical reaction between cocoa powder, acids like vinegar or buttermilk, and food colouring is often added to enhance the crimson hue.
The classic frosting pairing for red velvet cake is a tangy and creamy cream cheese frosting, providing a perfect contrast to the cake's subtle cocoa flavour.
While traditional red velvet is beloved, variations exist like adding extra cocoa for a richer chocolate taste or infusing flavours like vanilla (we use Madagascan), almond, or liqueurs for added complexity. Get in touch if you would like to personalise your cake's flavour.
The origins of red velvet cake are debated - it may have Southern roots using non-wheat flours and buttermilk, but its popularity is credited to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York during the 1920s.
It's simple, it's red and velvety with a beautiful texture. While it's popular all year round for birthdays and weddings, it's extremely popular on Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and at Christmas.
Red velvet cake can easily be adapted for different dietary needs by using gluten-free flours, dairy-free milks, and natural, plant-based food colourings in place of artificial dyes. Get in touch with your requirements.
For the best flavour and texture, red velvet cake should be stored airtight in the refrigerator; this helps the flavours develop. It should be allowed to come to room temperature before serving to allow flavours to fully bloom.
