Green Velvet Cake with Cereal Milk Whipped Frosting

My latest addition to the Snacking Cake series with a St. Patrick’s Day spin!

My family always has red velvet cake for the holidays towards the end of the year, so I was looking forward to making this for St. Patrick’s Day! The taste is exactly the same as a red velvet cake, except we’re using green food coloring here.

Equipment

Bowls

9-inch cake pan

Method

Make the cake
