How to Make Green Velvet Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the green food coloring with 2 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture. Stir this into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Divide the 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 the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare your favorite cream cheese frosting (recipe suggestion included below).
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with a generous amount of cream cheese frosting. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
