I love velvet cakes. They are so delicious and moist. I can make them any kind of colors to make a velvet cake.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Red velvet cake is a favorite in the Test Kitchen and this green velvet is a fun twist. The cake is super moist with just a hint of cocoa flavor. Melissa's cream cheese frosting is sweet, tangy and creamy. A perfect complement to the velvet cake. The green coloring makes this cake so festive. It would be a great St. Patrick's Day dessert.
