I was stumped on what dessert to make for Mother's Day. My sister suggested this recipe for blue velvet cake. It was unique and looked good so I couldn't resist!
Ingredients included most of the usual pantry staples + blueberries.
First mixing butter and sugar
Separately mix dry ingredients. Recipe only had 1 Tbsp cocoa powder so chocolate taste was pretty much nonexistent!
I kept adding blue food coloring, but it never got very saturated.
Gently fold in blueberries.
Bake in 2 9" cake pans.
First cake layer on plate
Next the cream cheese frosting!
Layer of frosting.
Add second round of cake.
Frost sides and top of cake.
I thought it looked too plain so I decorated with some jasmine flowers.
It reminded me of a blueberry muffin. The cake was not too sweet. Also this made a huge cake so be prepared for leftovers unless you have a huge crowd of people to feed.
