Blueberry Velvet Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting Recipes

BLUEBERRY VELVET CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• 1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 2.Grease 2 9″ cake pans with butter or cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, then grease again. Set aside. 3.In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. 4.In another bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the butter until light and creamy, about a minute or so. 5.Slowly add the sugar, and cream (beat with the mixer) until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. 6.Add the eggs one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next. 7.Add the vanilla, and fully incorporate. 8.Add the blue food coloring as you like. I just add some, mix it, and then see if I need to add more. Keep in mind that we still need to add the flour and milk, so color it a little darker than you want it in the end. It will lighten up once we add the remaining ingredients. 9.Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the addition of milk. So you'll add flour, then milk, then flour, then milk, then flour last. Make sure to incorporate each before adding the next. 10.Mix in the blueberries gently with a spatula. 11.Divide the batter between the 2 cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. 12.Let the cake completely cool before frosting. 13.Beat the butter and cream cheese with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. 14.Add the confectioner's sugar slowly and fully incorporate. 15.Add the vanilla and fully incorporate. 16.Cut the top of the cakes to level the tops. You want them to be as flat as possible. 17.Place a dab of frosting in the center of the cake stand. Invert one of the cake pans onto the cake stand. This will help prevent the cake from sliding when you frost it. 18.Use a little less than half of the frosting in between the layers. 19.Place the other cake on top. Frost the entire cake as you wish!!

BLUEBERRY SOURED CREAM CAKE WITH CHEESECAKE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan160C/ conventional 180C/gas 4 and butter and line the base of a loose-based 22cm round cake tin with non-stick baking paper or reusable Bake-o-glide.
• Put the butter, sugar, eggs,flour, baking powder and vanilla in a bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon for 2-3 minutes, or with a hand electric beater for 1-2 minutes, until lighter in colour and well mixed. Beat in 4 tbsp soured cream, then stir in half the blueberries with a large spoon.
• Tip the mixture into the tin and spread it level. Bake for 50 minutes until it is risen, feels firm to the touch and springs back when lightly pressed. Cool for 10 minutes, then take out of the tin and peel off the paper or lining. Leave to finish cooling on a wire rack.
• To make the frosting, beat the soft cheese with the icing sugar and the remaining soured cream in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Spread over the top of the cooled cake (don't be impatient as the frosting will melt if the cake is too warm) and scatter with the remaining blueberries. The cake will keep in the fridge for a couple of days. Bring it to room temperature for about an hour before serving.

RED VELVET CAKE WITH BLACKBERRY-CREAM CHEESE WHIPPED FROSTING

Steps:

• For the cake:
• Preheat your oven to 325°F. Liberally prepare 3 9-inch round cake pans with the nonstick method of your choice.
• In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and mix on low speed. Slowly add the oil and buttermilk.
• Increase the speed to medium-low and add the eggs 1 at a time, combining well after each addition and scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Slowly add the coffee, vanilla extract, vinegar, and food coloring. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
• Evenly pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 20 to 27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a layer comes out clean. Do not overbake.
• Let the layers cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto wire racks. Let cool to room temperature. Lightly cover the cakes with foil or plastic wrap so they do not dry out.
• For the blackberry compote:
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the blackberries, granulated sugar, lime juice, and salt. Once the blackberries begin releasing their juices and the liquid begins to boil, after about 8 to 12 minutes, use a pastry cutter or fork to mash 1/2 of the berries. Leave the rest whole.
• Stir in the cornstarch and continue to cook at a boil, allowing the juices to cook down and thicken. The compote is ready when the liquid coats and completely sticks to the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat. Let cool to room temperature.
• For the frosting:
• Clean your stand mixer bowl and whisk attachment. Beat the cream cheese on high speed until it begins to thicken and become fluffy.
• Turn your mixer down to low speed and carefully add the confectioners' sugar. Once the sugar is fully incorporated, turn your mixer speed back up and continue whipping. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue to whip until the frosting is smooth, light, and fluffy. Refrigerate the buttercream for 30 minutes to firm it up.
• To assemble:
• Once the layers are completely cooled, place 1 layer on a serving plate. Spread just the top with ⅓ of the frosting. Add ⅓ of the compote over the frosting. Using a butter knife or skewer, swirl the compote into the frosting. Add the second layer and spread with another ⅓ of the frosting. Add ⅓ of the compote, swirling the compote into the frosting again. Add the final layer, bottom-side up, and top with the remaining frosting. Add the rest of the compote and repeat the swirling process. Do not frost the side of the cake. Garnish with the whole blackberries. Serve at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator.
