A Brief History of Red Velvet Cake

Red velvet cake actually has a long history dating back to the early 1800s. It was first mentioned in a cookbook published in 1873 called Yummy Book. The recipe included beets as an ingredient, which is how red velvet got its name and its distinctive color

Interestingly enough, red velvet cake became popular again during the Great Depression due to its relatively inexpensive ingredients. And during World War II, food rationing meant that many people were unable to get their hands on things like chocolate and butter. So red velvet cake became a popular substitute because it still tasted delicious without those key ingredients
