There are many legends that run around the Red Velvet Cake, one of the most popular American cakes.

I think his real story begins with the great American depression of the end 800.

It seems that John Adams, in 1888 he opened a company to extract and food coloring.

With the Depression, its products began to have less market and had the brilliant idea of developing a promotion sale of innovative for its time.

In those years some cakes took a slightly red colored, due to the chemical reaction of some ingredients used: cocoa and the acidity of other products.

Adams decided to create the red cake that had ever been made and had distributed more drugstores possible, billboards with the image of the pie. The main ingredients to make the cake were only the red coloring and vanilla extract. To those who had bought them would have been given the secret recipe, thus enticing customers to spend anything extra to buy its products.

So he managed to overcome the difficult years and the Red Velvet Cake became increasingly popular.
