Someone on here has the history of the cake that DID NOT include red food colouring, and neither did my father’s sister.

Red Velvet was born from Wartime Rationing of cocoa during World War I, and the red color actually comes from the un-dutched cocoa powder that was used and the chemical reaction it caused along with the other ingredients (so no Joel...you can't just put red food coloring in a chocolate cake to make a Red Velvet.) Beet juice is used by some to get a deeper red color, but the redness of it is all natural. Also, the icing is traditionally an ermine icing, though cream cheese has gained in popularity over time (especially in commercial settings) because it's tasty and much easier and quicker than ermine.

Red velvet cake actually isn’t majorly chocolate. There might be like 5% cocoa, maybe less.

As a born and bred Londoner, I'm going to have to disagree with you on the idea of a red velvet cake being just a red coloured chocolate cake. Red velvet has cream cheese frosting and the ingredients of the both sponges is slightly different (red velvet sponge contains buttermilk, bicarbonate of soda and sometimes a tiny bit of vinegar depending on which recipe you look at) which gives it that very soft, airy, velvety texture. The sponge also only has a few teaspoons of cocoa powder so it doesn't taste very chocolatey. We also have grated mozzarella sold in a pack in most supermarkets in the UK - agree that its not "proper" mozzarella which is the soft white ball in water - it literally tastes like a very mild cheddar but it's stringy when melted haha

What pisses me off is so many jobs require that you have 40 working hours, so they require you to be there 42.5-45 hours a week, because you have to add in an unpaid lunch break. You don't get benefits and you're not considered full time if your working time is under 40 hours. WTAF. LET ME WORK 37.5 HOURS. 40 IS TOO MUCH. it's exhausting-requiring that we take an unpaid lunch but also requiring that our working hours are 40.

Red velvet cake is called that because during the Great Depression sugar and chocolate were very expensive so they would use beet root as a sweetener and it turned the cake red. Hence “Red Velvet Cake”. It simply evolved over the years into what we currently have.

Red velvet cake is not just chocolate cake dyed red. There’s a chemical reaction with the baking soda and chocolate that causes the red color. Also, it has a much richer, more velvety texture as well as cream cheese frosting. So yummy.

Actually the first time I saw pineapple on a pizza was in a pizza shop in Lyon, France but in the same shop I could have had a pizza with a pouched egg sitting in the middle.. I was brave, I went with a pizza with cheese on it.

Red velvet cake was originally made using sugar beets as the sweetener, rather than cane sugar. And that is where the color came from. Since then, it became a trend. But that was why it was red, specifically a very beet red.

I'm 53 and a retired American Soldier. When I served with British Soldiers in the 80s they introduced me to afternoon tea. I love a snack in the afternoon, and even though I don't call it tea, it reminds me of the amazing time I spent with British Soldiers.

Put a thick mug in the freezer overnight then fill with ice cream scoops then add Coke, Pepsi or your choice. A&W here would the fresh Root Beer they just made that day which is poured really cold maybe 1-2 Celsius. The part of the soda becomes crunchy. That was always a treat on a hot summer day.

Red Velvet cake does have cocoa powder in it, but not enough to call it chocolate cake. Only one tablespoon (28 grams) for Red Velvet versus 1 Cup (128 grams) in a Basic Chocolate cake. It’s the other ingredients that make it signature Red Velvet like Buttermilk and vinegar that give the “velvety” consistency. Chocolate is a tiny back note, plus plenty of vanilla!

Ice Cream floats... cant believe Lia has not heard of it... traditionally with Root Beer... next most common is Coke... it just makes the soda creamy and delish and causes the ice cream left to crystallize a bit which adds another dimension to it.
