Method
 

How to Make Green Velvet Cake And Cupcakes
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two round cake pans by greasing them or lining them with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients. In a spacious bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with ½ cup of vegetable oil. Blend until smooth and creamy, then add in 2 large eggs one at a time. Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of green gel food coloring.
  4. Combine the mixtures. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into your wet mixture, stirring gently until everything is just combined.
  5. Divide and bake. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
