Red Velvet Cake

My semi-new discovery!! one day my fiance was having Red Velvet Cake i thought it was the cakes I've seen with red silk wrapped around it and it was something like regular cake. Then she said it had cream cheese, i took a double take and and she showed me i was astounded by the deep red color and the taste of it. so i had the idea of doing some research and since I've never had it Robin, my fiance thought it was a southern thing since her mother swears it up and down but the earliest publishing was The Boston Cooking-School Cookbook and Good Things to Eat (published in 1885)not entirely sure if it's Boston NY or Boston MA but enough about the history it's really good try one if you haven't already and not the kind you get from 7-11 where the ones they have are with regular ultra sugary icing.
