ST. PATRICK'S GREEN VELVET CAKE

ST. PATRICK'S GREEN VELVET CAKE
A special Thank you to Jann Sparks for this fantastic recipe!

2 eggs
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 1/4 c. cooking oil
1 tsp. vinegar
2 1/2 c. self-rising flour
1 tsp. soda
1 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 oz. green cake coloring

Sift flour and soda together, set aside. Beat eggs. Add sugar, oil and vinegar, blend well. Add egg mixture alternately with flour and buttermilk. Add vanilla and cake coloring. Mix well. Pour half into flower mold. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, every oven is different so check often for doneness by using a toothpick.
Once the first layer has cooled, pop it out of the mold and then bake the second layer. Cut cooled cake shape with an X to form a 4 leaf clover, then frost center and sides.


FROSTING:
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese1 stick butter1 box powdered sugar1 tsp. vanilla (mint if you wish)1 c. nuts, chopped (opt.)
