why is "red velvet" cake so popular?

I had red velvet cake for the first time today. it's literally regular cake with vanilla frosting, but colored red with food coloring. it tastes exactly like a standard yellow birthday cake youd probably had as a kid. WTF are people so wild about this chit for? its not some iconic dessert I remember being popular growing up like Jell-O, cheesecake or brownies. it just started getting popular in the past 5 yrs or so.

You need a good cream cheese frosting. That's the key.

Eh, it definitely depends where it's from. Red Velvet cake is best with a cream cheese frosting. Plus, you can definitely taste a difference in the cocoa in a good Red Velvet cake.

It should definitely have a more acid flavour to it unless someone just lied about it being red velvet. It should also have a bit of a sourness almost with the cream cheese frosting. You just got served food dye cake. just lol at you

I think it’s just ok. I personally love pound cake over any other kind of cake, especially cakes with frosting. I don’t really like frosting.

Not vanilla icing, but cream cheese icing.
Not vanilla cake, but chocolate cake dyed red.

Sounds like you had a cheap azz " red velvet" cake

Real red velvet cake should have buttermilk and vinegar in it, which gives it a distinct taste, as well as cocoa powder and a cream cheese frosting.

OP, you were fed a a vanilla red food dye cake by someone who hates you.

Dis.

There are obviously lots of fake "red velvet" type stuff out there, mostly stuff at the super market or home made just to be trendy, but when you have legit red velvet at a bakery, its super hnnnggg

This. I've had both good and sh!tty red velvet cake. What the OP is referring to is that cheap grocery store sh!t. Good quality red velvet cake is amazing, rather eat cheesecake though.

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

Because it looks nice while being usually slightly "lighter" .

If you really want to next level just do Cherry Cheeze cake. Or cheeze cake with red jelly on top. Tastes awsome, looks awsome.
