United States
Red Velvet Cake
Although its origins are often debated, this vibrant cake likely was created in the American South, where it is still esteemed as an essential holiday sweet. Sentimental and even a bit flamboyant with its striking scarlet-hued layers and swirls of fluffy white cream-cheese frosting, red velvet cake seems made expressly for Christmas. Not just a Southern specialty anymore, the dessert has gained popularity in recent years all over the country—perhaps because of its decadent looks and succulent, hint-of-chocolate flavor.
