Behold, blue velvet.If you haven't heard of blue velvet before, let me fill you in on a sweet secret. Blue velvet is pretty similar to red velvet, in terms of taste.
It's a dense, moist cake with a combination of buttermilk, vanilla and cocoa powder as its main ingredients.Unlike its red, passé predecessor, it has a gorgeous blue (maybe purple) interior concealed underneath its fluffy, cream cheese frosting facade.
