2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons blue food coloring
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons water, if needed

Instructions

To make this delicious royal blue velvet cake, start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and almond extract and beat until combined.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. With a rubber spatula, fold in the blue food coloring until the batter is a deep royal blue. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Meanwhile, make the cream cheese frosting. Cream together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract and beat until combined. Add the water, if needed, to reach the desired consistency.

Once the cakes have cooled completely, spread the cream cheese frosting between the two layers and over the top and sides of the cake. Serve and enjoy!
