How to Make Blue Suede Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven racks in the center.
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Add blue food coloring (gel recommended for vibrant color; start with a small amount and add more as needed). A touch of red food coloring can enhance the blue tone.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
