Common ingredients include buttermilk, butter, cocoa, vinegar, and flour. Beet juice or red food coloring may be used for the color. Velvet cake is thought to have originated in Maryland in the early 20th century. In the 19th century, “velvet” cake, a soft and velvety crumb cake, came to be served as a fancy dessert, in contrast to what had been the more common, coarser-crumbed cake. When foods were rationed in the US during World War II, bakers used boiled beet juices to enhance the color of their cakes.

Beet was and is used in some recipes as a filler or to retain moisture. In Canada, the cake was a well-known dessert in the restaurants and bakeries of the Eaton’s department store chain in the 1940s and 1950s. Promoted as an exclusive Eaton’s recipe, with employees who knew the recipe sworn to silence, many mistakenly believed the cake was the invention of the department store matriarch, Lady Eaton. In recent years, red velvet cake and red velvet cupcakes have become increasingly popular in the US and many European countries, especially around Christmas and more recently Valentine’s Day. Ingredients vary based on the era and area of the world.

In addition to the many variations of red velvet cake, there are various red velvet-flavored products, including protein powder, tea, lattes, Pop-Tarts, waffles, and alcoholic beverages.

I have a large 14 cup food processor, but this smaller version works just as well for this application. The bitterness of the dark chocolate pairs wonderfully with the sweet dough.

My favorite brands of chocolate are: Callebaut, Valrhona, and Lindt. Brown the butter, add in some hazelnut flour, and sprinkle Maldon sea salt on top. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, hazelnuts, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Once the butter has melted, continue to cook. Mixture will bubble and foam as it cooks. Continue to cook until butter smells nutty and fragrant.

The milk solids in the butter will turn rich brown in color. Pour cooled butter into a mixing bowl. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add remaining 2 Tbsp of softened butter and beat in until combined.
