Here’s a delicious Blue Velvet Cake recipe that’s moist, colorful, and perfect for any celebration! 💙🍰
Ingredients
For the Cake:
2½ cups (310 g) all-purpose flour
2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp fine salt
1 tsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 cup (240 ml) vegetable oil
1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk, room temperature
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 tbsp blue food coloring
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp white vinegar
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
4 cups (480 g) powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Prep Oven & Pans:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, or line with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together oil, buttermilk, eggs, blue food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar until smooth.
Combine:
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until smooth and lump-free.
Bake:
Divide batter evenly into prepared pans.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool in pans 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting:
Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until fluffy.
Assemble:
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread frosting evenly on top.
Place second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake.
Optional:
Decorate with sprinkles, blueberries, or edible glitter for an extra wow factor!
💡 Tip: Chill the cake 20–30 minutes after frosting for cleaner slices.
If you want, I can also give you a super-moist version that uses buttermilk + sour cream for extra fluffiness, which makes it taste like bakery-level magic. Do you want me to do that?
