One of America's signature desserts is a chocolate cake that has been dyed red with a chemical that is made from coal tar sludge and causes cancer and ADHD
>>21089394Huh? Isn't the vinegar in the cake supposed to make it a rust color which is where the name comes from?
>>21089401It's called Red Velvet Cake. It's a chocolate cake dyed red with red food coloring. It used to be more of a light brown but Americans like bright colors so now it's a comically artificial red color
>>21089394Tbhonest I wouldn't really call it a signature dessert in America. It is pretty common though.
>>21089394>dyed red with a chemical that is made from coal tar sludge and causes cancer and ADHDThat same chemical is used to promote breast cancer awareness, so don't hate
>>21089405Seems like early recipes attributed the red coloring to the type of cocoa powder that was used, brown sugar, or beetjuice.
>>21089431This is the truth. OP is a drooling retard. A butt hurt thirdie who cries about America 24/7.
>>21089715He's talking about the EARLY recipe
>>21089394I had some Red Velvet cake flavored Halo Top icecream the other day.It was good.Red velvet flavor is unique and good. Leave out the dye then I guess if you are worried about it.
>>21089394red velvet cake originally got it's red color from the process used to make the cake, not from any food coloring.
>>21089394ITS NOT CHOCOLATE CAKEit just has a trace amount of chocolate and its died red.
>>21089405>It's a chocolate cake dyed red with red food coloring.Maybe nowadays for secondaries who care more about presentation than authenticity.>“Red” comes from the reaction between old-fashioned Dutch processed cocoa powder and the acidified dairy.
>>21089759Oh OKAY.
>>21089394It's not a signature dessert, it kind of came out of nowhere a few years ago and became associated with black people for whatever reason.
>>21089394My grandma made it with cocoa powder and didn't use dye, it was the best ever. Buttercream frosting with the chopped nuts on top, the only cake I continue to enjoy
Not really 'chocolate cake' when it only uses ~2tbsp cocoa powder, but you can be mad about it.

>>21093429>supposed to be beet juice, which was a sugar substitute during war rationingsupposedly the original used dutch processed cocoa powder and buttermilk which gave a slight red colour but like you said i've always used beet juice because i dislike food colouring
