where does the red in red velvet cake come from
Red velvet cake Red Velvet cake is traditionally a red, red-brown, or "mahogany" colored[1] layer cake, layered with white cream cheese icing or Ermine[2] frosting (sometimes called "cooked roux" frosting). It has a distinctive fluffy texture owing to the gas-producing reaction of alkaline buttermilk with acidic vinegar and/or acidic non-alkalized cocoa.[1] The cake is commonly served on Christmas or Valentine's Day. Common modern red velvet cake is made with red dye,[3][4] however the red color was originally due to non-Dutched anthocyanin-rich cocoa.[1]
Where the Red Fern Grows (1974 film) The film was produced by Lyman Dayton and filmed on location in Oklahoma.[4][5]
