     Title: Blue Velvet Cake
Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Dairy, Cheese, Chocolate
     Yield: 9 servings

   1/2 c  Butter, softened
 1 1/2 c  Sugar
     2 lg Eggs; room temp
     1 ts Vanilla extract
     2 ts Royal blue food coloring
     2 dr Violet food coloring
 2 1/4 c  A-P flour
     1 ts Baking soda
   1/2 ts Baking powder
 1 1/2 tb Cocoa powder
   1/2 ts Salt
 1 1/3 c  Buttermilk; room temp
     1 tb White vinegar

MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
    16 oz Cream cheese; softened
   1/2 c  Butter; softened
     6 c  Powdered sugar
     2 tb Milk
     1 ts Vanilla extract

 Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

 In another small bowl, combine the buttermilk and
 vinegar and set aside. Grease two 8" round cake pans.
 In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle
 attachment, or a mixing bowl with a hand mixer, cream
 the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy,
 about five minutes. Mix in the eggs and mix in the
 vanilla extract.

 Mix in the blue food coloring, along with the violet
 food coloring. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the color,
 and adjust as needed.

 In a small bowl, whisk the dry ingredients to combine.
 Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter
 mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just
 combined. Add additional food coloring if necessary.

 Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake
 pans. Bake the cakes for 24 to 26 minutes until they’re
 set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out
 clean. Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and
 set them aside to fully cool.

 In a mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese and
 butter. Mix in two cups of powdered sugar, milk and
 vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the remaining powdered
 sugar until the mixture comes together. Turn the speed
 up on the mixer to whip the frosting until smooth.

 Place one cake layer on a cake stand. Top the layer with
 a generous amount of frosting, and place the second cake
 layer on top. Frost the exterior of the cake using a
 piping bag or offset spatula.
