This green velvet cake is a new spin on classic red velvet. It tastes just the same – it’s just a different color! Make these for St. Patrick’s Day, or for Game Day, if your team’s color is green. Most of the special equipment called for in this recipe is for the shamrock decors. If you don’t have time to make them, you can always opt for some festive green and gold sprinkles.
