The “red” makes sense, but what about the “velvet” in Red Velvet Cake’s iconic name? Food historians say it was a common description during the Victorian era when the term described cakes that had an especially soft and “velvety” crumb. From the color to the crumb, this homemade Red Velvet Cake is a dessert classic.
