Indulge in the rich flavors and velvety texture of Black Velvet Cake, a delightful twist on the classic Red Velvet Cake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp black cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Black food coloring (gel or paste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them or lining them with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the all-purpose flour, black cocoa powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk the buttermilk, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and white vinegar in another bowl until smooth; add black food coloring.
  4. Incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients gradually, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Frost with your favorite frosting and serve.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting to avoid melting the icing.
