This is something we found online:

Why do you use white vinegar in red velvet cake?

I was looking at red velvet cake recipes and I want to know why is vinegar used in cake recipes? It sounds weird.

ANSWER : Vinegar is usually called for in combination with baking soda and you're required to mix the two and you will get a foaming action. These tiny little oxygen bubbles will then be folded into the cake batter which will cause the cake to bake into a light and fluffy tasty treat. Mmmmmm Red Velvet is my specialty. :-)
