Because she loved the taste of red velvet cake, but her favorite for was blue, she would always ask for blue velvet cake every year.I stumbled across the recipe this one is based on when I was actually looking up a completely different recipe and, knowing she has not had blue velvet cake in years, I decided I'd give her a nice surprise for her birthday this year!This recipe is not 100% original to me, but my modification of what I found online.
