What is the red layer on the red velvet cake?

That's monascus powder.

There are different opinions about the origin of red velvet cake. Dramatically speaking, it originated in waldorf, new york. Around 1959, a female guest dined in the hotel and enjoyed the red velvet cake. She was very interested in the cake, so she asked the hotel about the name of the cake maker and the method of making the cake, and the hotel met her requirements. Later, she received a high bill. It turns out that the hotel didn't inform the cake recipe for free. In a rage, the female guest announced the formula of the red velvet cake to the whole society, and the red velvet cake became famous all over the world.
