We're back to Cake! Android 11 is internally named "Red Velvet Cake"

Remember when Android used to name their Android versions after confectionery products? Last year, Google has decided to end their naming schemes after desserts. However, because Android 11 is internally named "Red Velvet Cake" this is simply not the case.

Sameer Samat, Vice President of Google's Android Product Management, has confirmed that the company is still using sweet confectionery products to name their Android versions internally. Android Q (or Android 10) is internally named "Quince Tart" and would have been likely known to the public as "Android 10 Queen Cake". This was later dropped.

For now, internal engineers are gonna be using the 'red velvet cake' internal name. As the world craves for it, who knows? Cake is simply just too sweet to just let go, especially with all the surreal cake memes going around lately.

Red Velvet Cake is sweet, but do you think it's a good name for Android 11? Let us know in the comments section below!
