Blueberry Velvet Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe 385

BLUEBERRY VELVET CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• 1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 2.Grease 2 9″ cake pans with butter or cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, then grease again. Set aside. 3.In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. 4.In another bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the butter until light and creamy, about a minute or so. 5.Slowly add the sugar, and cream (beat with the mixer) until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. 6.Add the eggs one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next. 7.Add the vanilla, and fully incorporate. 8.Add the blue food coloring as you like. I just add some, mix it, and then see if I need to add more. Keep in mind that we still need to add the flour and milk, so color it a little darker than you want it in the end. It will lighten up once we add the remaining ingredients. 9.Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the addition of milk. So you'll add flour, then milk, then flour, then milk, then flour last. Make sure to incorporate each before adding the next. 10.Mix in the blueberries gently with a spatula. 11.Divide the batter between the 2 cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. 12.Let the cake completely cool before frosting. 13.Beat the butter and cream cheese with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. 14.Add the confectioner's sugar slowly and fully incorporate. 15.Add the vanilla and fully incorporate. 16.Cut the top of the cakes to level the tops. You want them to be as flat as possible. 17.Place a dab of frosting in the center of the cake stand. Invert one of the cake pans onto the cake stand. This will help prevent the cake from sliding when you frost it. 18.Use a little less than half of the frosting in between the layers. 19.Place the other cake on top. Frost the entire cake as you wish!!

BLUEBERRY BLUE VELVET CAKE RECIPE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• 1. Prepare Cake Mix as directed, pour the Cake Batter into two 9 inch round Cake pans that have been sprayed with non-stick baking spray. 2. In the first pan, take about 1/2 Cup of the Fresh Blueberries and lightly press them into the batter one at a time, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Press them about half way into the Batter. They should not touch the bottom. Do the same with another 1/2 cup of Fresh Blueberries in the second pan of Cake Batter. 3. Bake the Cake as directed on the package, for two 9 inch rounds. 4. Allow Cake to completely cool. 5. Time to make the Frosting! In a large mixing bowl cream together the Butter and the Cream Cheese with a hand held mixer until smooth. 6. Add the Coconut Extract and blend in thoroughly. 7. Slowly add the Powdered Sugar, 1 cup at a time and continue to mix until the Frosting is smooth. 8. Remove 3/4 Cup Frosting and place it in a medium mixing bowl. Fold in 1/2 Cup of the Coconut into the Frosting. This is the filling. 9. Place one of the Cake rounds onto a Cake plate. Spread the Prepared Coconut Frosting/Filling on the top of the first Cake round. Now place the second Cake round on top of the filling. 10. With the remaining Frosting, frost the entire Cake. 11. Now, With the remaining Coconut, lightly press it into the top and sides of the Cake, as you see here on my website www.hotdishhomemaker.com ~The contrast between the White Coconut Frosting and the Rich Blue Velvet Cake is very striking. The flavor is rich and the texture is very moist. Be sure to store any leftovers in the refrigerator. Enjoy! Recipe by: Hot DishHomemaker
