Red Velvet Cake
An American favorite since the 1920s, Red Velvet Cake’s creation has been attributed to John A. Adams, owner of the Adams Extract Company and later, New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel, where it was a popular menu item during the 1950s. Red Velvet Cake differs from Devil’s Food by using cocoa instead of chocolate.
