Red Velvet Cake

"Red Velvet Cake is a classic, much-loved recipe. The combination of rich cocoa layers and the luscious cream cheese frosting studded with pecans is a southern favorite! Good old Red Velvet Cake with all that yummy cream cheese and toasted pecans, is classic southern comfort food! How can you resist something like that? Red Velvet cake is actually a chocolate layer with red food coloring added and then frosted with cream cheese icing. I started wondering about the origins of Red Velvet, a cake well-known throughout the south, so I did a little internet searching. Turns out not much is known about its origins, but there is general agreement on its popularity!"
