What Are Green Velvet Bundt Cakes

Green velvet is a twist to the classic red velvet we know and love so much. Green velvet uses chocolate cake as the base of the batter, and then you add in some food coloring to give it that bright green color. It is then frosted with a dollop of white frosting for that sweetness factor that throws this dessert over the top.

What Flavor is Green Velvet Cake

Because you use the base of the chocolate cake, you will find the flavor of the cake is chocolate. Just like red velvet, you can find that your mind plays tricks on you, wondering the flavor because our mind registers chocolate to brown. This recipe is so good! Trust me!

How To Make Green Velvet Cake

The process of making these cakes is so simple. You start by mixing up your ingredients with a stand mixer, pouring into pan and baking.

Once cooled, whip up your homemade frosting, pip, and then top with a gold coin. I found my gold coins at the local Dollar Tree! You could always replace with a candy coin or any other topper that fits the St. Patty’s day theme.
