where does red velvet cake coloring come from
Red velvet cake Red Velvet cake is traditionally a red, red-brown, or "mahogany" or "maroon" colored[1] non-Dutched Cocoa, layer cake, layered with white cream cheese icing or Ermine[2] frosting (sometimes called "cooked roux" frosting). 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]
The Red Vineyard The Red Vineyard was exhibited for the first time at the annual exhibition of Les XX, 1890 in Brussels, and sold for 400 Francs (equal to about $1,000-1,050 today) to Anna Boch,[2] an impressionist painter, member of Les XX and art collector from Belgium;[3][4] Anna was the sister of Eugène Boch, another impressionist painter and a friend of Van Gogh, too, who had painted Boch's portrait (Le Peintre aux Étoiles) in Arles, in autumn 1888.
