Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Butter, for greasing
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons blue food coloring
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup cream cheese
4 to 8 tablespoons milk or water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the oil, granulated sugar, buttermilk, brown sugar, food coloring, vanilla, vinegar and eggs. Mix on low speed until combined. With the mixer running, add the dry ingredients, one cup at a time, to the wet ingredients until just combined. Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the pans to a cooling rack to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans; if necessary, run a knife along the edges of the pan to help. Place the cakes on the rack and cool to room temperature.
  • For the frosting: In a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer, or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk, beat together the confectioners' sugar, butter and cream cheese. Add 1 tablespoon of the milk and the vanilla. Gradually beat in just enough of the remaining milk to make the frosting smooth and spreadable. Beat at high speed until light and fluffy.
  • Place one of the cakes on a serving plate and top with a layer of the frosting. Place the second cake on top, and use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake. Serve at room temperature.

ROYAL BLUE VELVET CAKE



Royal Blue Velvet Cake image

This fun twist on the classic Red Velvet Cake takes on a new, blue hue in this Royal Blue Velvet Cake recipe. By combining three tiers of fluffy royal blue cake and sweet marshmallow creme icing, this blue velvet cake recipe is impressive and delicious. When looking to achieve the royal blue coloring, remember to use paste food color rather than liquid or gel food color. Working with liquid or gel food color will cause the color of your Royal Blue Velvet Cake to vary. This cake is certainly baked in history as the recipe was inspired by the royal heirloom sapphire engagement ring.

CLASSIC RED VELVET CAKE



Classic Red Velvet Cake image

The "red" makes sense, but what about the "velvet" in Red Velvet Cake's iconic name? Food historians say it was a common description during the Victorian era when the term described cakes that had an especially soft and "velvety" crumb. From the color to the crumb, this homemade Red Velvet Cake is a dessert classic. If you prefer cupcakes over cakes, our Classic Red Velvet Cake recipe works perfectly for that - check out our "Expert Tips" section for guidance.

BLUE VELVET CAKE



Blue Velvet Cake image

This one comes from the Food Network. Duff from Ace of Cakes was on a Paula Deen show. Overall a quality cake that tastes just like it came from the bakery. You can tell it's homemade and not from a box. It should be that way since it came from Duff, the cake guru! It does take a little time to make this, but it's worth it if you want the real thing. The addition of the baking soda/vinegar combination adds a nice touch. The cake is extremely moist but does not fall apart. I used two 8-inch cake pans and cooked the cake about 30-35 minutes - just made a 2-layer cake instead of a 3-layer one. I did not use pecans. If you don't have a one pound box of powdered sugar, just use about 3 cups from a bag. This cake tastes even better chilled the next day. Next time I'm going to try to make the frosting without coconut so it's just a basic cream cheese one. The melted marshmallows in the frosting aren't too bad either! You can use less blue food coloring and sub the rest with water if you want.

THE REAL RED VELVET CAKE



The Real Red Velvet Cake image

Historically, red velvet cake was just chocolate cake tinted red from the acid in cocoa powder, not from food coloring. Nowadays most cocoa powders are alkalized, as in stripped of acid. Look for a non-alkalized one for this old-fashioned recipe. Completing the classic look is a coat of bright white ermine frosting, cooked the old-fashioned way.

Time 3h25m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

cooking spray
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups cake flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 ¾ cups brown sugar
1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, softened
3 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1 cup whole milk
½ cup all-purpose flour, sifted
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C). Line the bottoms of three 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper. Spray the sides with cooking spray.
  • Sift all-purpose flour, cake flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Microwave buttermilk just until warm, about 30 seconds. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Beat brown sugar and butter together in a bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly before each addition. Blend in the flour mixture and buttermilk in 3 additions until fully combined. Let mixer run on low for 5 minutes. Distribute the cake batter between the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center the cakes comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes in the pans. Turn cakes out and let cool completely on a wire rack, at least 30 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, whisk sugar, milk, flour, and salt together in a medium saucepan for the frosting. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to simmer, about 10 minutes. Pour into a medium bowl and chill for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Beat butter until smooth, about 5 minutes. Slowly add the milk and flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, beating in between each addition and scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Level the cake layers before assembling the cake. Scoop about 2/3 cup of frosting onto the first layer and spread into an even layer. Repeat with the second and third cake layers. Frost the outsides of the cake with thin layer of frosting to catch any crumbs and chill for 20 minutes.
  • Finish frosting the cake with remaining frosting. Cut and serve.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 20

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 ¾ cups cake flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup buttermilk, or 1 cup whole milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 ½ teaspoons red food coloring
1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon McCormick® vanilla extract
¼ cup freshly brewed coffee
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
12 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon heavy cream
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons McCormick® vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 2 8-inch cake pans with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk to combine.
  • In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, vinegar, and red food coloring.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light, fluffy, and homogenous, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and beat on medium speed until incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat to incorporate.
  • Add ½ of the buttermilk mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Beat on medium speed until well combined, 1-2 minutes. Add ½ of the dry ingredients and beat until well-combined, 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining buttermilk and dry ingredients. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the coffee and beat until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before flipping the cakes out onto a wire rack, then let cool completely
  • While the cakes are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on high speed until well combined and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Add the heavy cream, salt, and vanilla and mix to combine. Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, and beat until the frosting is fluffy and smooth.
  • Once cakes have cooled, trim off the domed tops, reserving the scraps. Cut each cake in half so you have 4 even layers.
  • Place 1 cake layer, cut-side up, on a cake stand. Spread an even layer of frosting over the cake. Place another cake layer cut-side down on top of the first layer, spreading another even layer of frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining 2 layers. Spread a thin layer of frosting all over the sides and smooth out with an offset spatula or bench scraper. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, until the layer of frosting has hardened.
  • Frost the outside of the cake with a thick layer of frosting. Crumble the reserved cake scraps, then press into the frosting around the bottom of the cake.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!
