Red Velvet Cake

"There's nothing better than this incredibly moist red velvet layer cake coated in a rich white chocolate cream cheese frosting. A Southern classic, a red velvet cake delivers homestyle results in a little over an hour. Two moist layers of cake give you plenty of room for a creamy rich white chocolate frosting. Add some crushed peppermint on top for a nice contrast in flavors. What gives this cake that velvety texture is the buttermilk, which reacts with the baking soda. As for the rich chocolate flavor, that comes from coffee and cocoa powder. And the classic red hue? That comes from just a teaspoon of red food coloring and the cocoa powder reacting with the acidity of buttermilk."
