Food Porn: Red Velvet CakePosted Mar 28th 2007 10:32AM by Sarah J. GimFiled under: Dessert, Food Porn, Recipes, Baking, America, Retro cookeryI have a love/hate relationship with Red Velvet Cake. Basically, I love it because for Pete's sake, it's cake, and not only is it cake, but it's usually drowning in layers of cream cheese frosting. However, I just don't get it -- "red velvet" that is -- and why this cake, above all others, seems to get so much attention. What I don't get is what "red velvet" tastes like. It's neither chocolate (though I know there is a bit of cocoa in there) nor vanilla, and it certainly doesn't taste like anything red, like berries.It must be the novelty of the gorgeously shocking red color, because based on the cake that Desert Candy baked, love is all about the aesthetics. Mercedes used the recipe that was published in the New York Times a few weeks ago, which she reprinted in the post. And though the frosting is made of mascarpone instead of cream cheese, I'm not complaining!
