A red velvet cake is a chocolate cake with a deep red, bright red, or red-brown color. It is usually prepared as a layered cake topped with a cream cheese frosting or cooked roux. Common ingredients are butter, flour, cocoa, and beet or red food coloring (beets are traditionally used). The amount of cocoa used varies in different recipes. The cheese frosting is the most associated with the cake, as is the buttercream.
